I apologize in advance for the photography, I squander my funds on food and bills, and dont save anything for a decent camera. I've been wanting to get outside opinion on these for a while , they are some of my IG and tau models, these images as well as a few others are in the gallery, but I wasnt sure exactly how to link them.

Nice. Those are all really nice man

Really nice! Great work.

Very nice work.

Well, I have to say these are quite impressive. What models did you use for the IG veterans.

Those look aweomse but the head of the veteran on the right is a little strange.

The veteran on the left is a cadian torso with catachan legs and arms. The legs got extensively reposed and modeled with green stuff, as did the catachan head. He is probably made up about 60% of modeling putty. The dude on the right is a cadian torso and legs, and the head and arms came from empire free company plastic spru. The shotgun, I think, came from an old plastic necromunda model, I have a few of those. He also got extensively converted with putty. His boonie hat and the gear bag he carries are both made from green stuff. The neatest thing about these two models is realy the poseing, it ,unfortunately, makes them difficult to photo, and makes the heads look out of proportion in the pics. I can take pics that are further away, but the detail gets sort of lost.

is your medic holding guts?

LOL! no, thats a bag of plasma for a wounded soldier.

these are great! i love the battlesuit, but i cant help feeling that the kroot shaper is prancing a little.

very nice man.

i though the medic was holding a heart connected to a tube, having pulled an indian jones on some foul xeno

Go to the stickied thread at the top, where there are instructions for adding a picture and making it a link to the gallery. This will drive users to see first your picture then look at others within the gallery.

It is called "Vote For This!"

Really nice Battlesuit Commander. I really like the base as well. The paintjob is also really good.

The Kroot Shaper is also really cool. Nice conversion.

Looks Great, keep up the good work!!!

Great painting, and I love that base!

Fantastic! those look great!

AHA!!! i was going to ask if it was a heart... i swear it was... you should cut the cord and get an ork behind him with a big old gash over where his heart should be... oh no no no... make it a eldar... orkz' is too cool to do that

The veterans look like hill billies. Other than that awesome job on them lol.

Not much more intimidating than hillbillies with guns....
Deliverance, anyone?

Hahaha! That Imp got so hard it makes me want to start collecting Tau again.

Lovely work, the destroyed sentinel is quite inspiring, but might I suggest painting the eyes of the dead driver, as he looks a bit zombie-ish with the all white eyes?

It would look more peaceful and less gruesome to have closed eyes on the guardsmen corpse but i think that his wide open eyes staring blankly across the battlefield lamenting on his final moments - over the din of the firefight he recalls hearing the loud CRACK that cleared a neat hole within his beating vital organ, staring down in shock and pain his body flings right from the impact and his sentinel goes down, during his last painful seconds of life he glances up to see a majestic shape jump over him before his agony ends - creates the drama in it.

Really the eyes capture the unexpected shock and terror of the pilot.
