OK, here it goes. I have around 2 tau battleforces, plus some other bits that I've collected in the year I've had them. Now in this time I have managed to paint about 7 models

Not my fault I have other things to do. I recently decided to finish this army and my fledging Salamanders force. The Salamanders are in better condition, but not quite finished. So for my Tau I chose to do Farsight, since I liked his color scheme and he just sounds cooler. Hope you guys enjoy reading this stuff and I'll have pictures of those seven models (hopefully plus more) very soon.

Ok this took me about ten minutes to figure out how to post again

But here are those pictures. First up we have the Tau I've already painted: 6 fire warriors, one Shas'O, and one converted shield drone. Since I decided to do Farsight's lost Cadre's I gave them the kroot shoulder pads instead of normal Tau shoulder pads. Then my completely finished space marines (I'm a perfectionist). My Chaplain, My Legion of the Damned, and finally Bray'arth Ashmantle, who I've used to great success against anything with a 4+ save or above

That's all for now but you can expect some painted scouts and pictures of everything else in it's varied stages soon.

I like the idea for the shield drone as they don't come cheap. Something I may use in the future.

**Farsight's Lieutenant**

progress update: Working on scout pistol scopes, once those are done the squad is done (pics soon), and I am working on my Hammerhead's engines, scratching them up and all. I'll try to ahve pics of these up sometime this week

Nice! I like the muddy space marines. I'm sick of Space marines that look like they've just come out of the car wash.
Keep up the good work!

**Farsight's Lieutenant**

Well I did two Hammerhead/Devilfish engines today, and my scouts only need a little more mud and some battle damage. Can't get the pics I took uploaded right now though. I'll try to have those plus more tommorow.

Well I do have around 4 squads that use shield drones, so thats 8 shied drones. I haven't gotten any new suits,devilfish or firewarrior boxes recently (for more than a year

) so I am really going to be in trouble when I've finnished my current bout of modeling/painting. What to do next?

**Farsight's Lieutenant**

get a broadside? maybe a hammerhead? or kroot. I love kroot!

**Ledabot**

I'll probably end up getting auxillerys in one form or another, but i'm saving up for 6th eddition so I canrub it in peoples faces and buy the starter box, whatever it has in it get a srb. And then when tau comes out..... I will has money! to spend on anything awesome.

**Farsight's Lieutenant**

yes. I'll try to do that to, but it's so hard when you don't know in advance a month is not enough for me...

PS ill upload pistures when I can get my hands on my camera

**Farsight's Lieutenant**

Update: I finally finished my scouts, and I'm almost done with a Shas'ui. Also I finished some pieces of a Hammerhead, the turret, engines and one of it's drones. Here are pics:
