I would do hand weapons rather than javelins on the "Hounds". And of course get those guys on some round bases!

SARCASM: Just one of my many talents.

Inspirational work keep it up. Very few people seem to pull a crisp white with the Tau.

"Definition: 'Love' is making a shot to the knees of a target 120 kilometers away using an Aratech sniper rifle with a tri-light scope. Statement: This definition, I am told, is subject to interpretation. Obviously, love is a matter of odds. Not many meatbags could make such a shot, and fewer would derive love from it. Yet for me, love is knowing your target, putting them in your targeting reticle, and together, achieving a singular purpose, against statistically long odds." ~ HK-47

Horray, You returned to finish the stuff you started.

By the way, have you finished the little screen in the transport?

He returns!
Great to see you back! Loving the idea of Skinks as 'Hounds', but I have to agree with Aduro, Handweapons would probably make more sense that Javelins.

I like the Javelins, the hand weapons are too small.

Glad this thread is continuing. Your work is very, very inspirational. Some of the things you've produced in this thread are things I've never once seen on any tabletop (drone changing to camoflauge, the swamp wading Kroot specifically).

This is one of the best Painting blogs I've ever viewed on dakka. Thank you for sharing such great work.

BTW: where's the group shot in regards to the GT?

The method for the bases is;

Polly Filler spread over a blank base for texture
Once Dry, Use a Pin Vice to drill holes for the Jungle Plants
Paint Scorched Brown
Drybrush Beastial Brown
Drybrush Graveyard Earth
Pin the model to the base
PVA the plants into the holes
Add static grass + clump foliage
Paint Chaos Black around the rim of the base.

Cheers

I think you should make the head fin a different colour. It would look great if it would stand out. But if you kept the fin the same colour, well that's cool.

good stuff all around.

Great to see something new. But I'm disappointed to hear you never did the silly little screen for the devilfish. Woulda been too funny.

naga are awesome and don't listen to them, javelins are sweet.

I love your Tau army!
Reminds me very much of my own, but with some nice touch ups.

I hope you don't mind me picking up some of your ideas.^^
