I painted this miniature just for fun shortly after it was released (so awhile ago!) and it sat on the shelf unbased until recently. I didn't use that special base that was supplied with the model, instead opting to use a piece of cork painted in a desert theme. Admittedly, the base is the weakest part of the entire miniature. I hurried to get it based before the November meeting of my local IPMS club meeting, as I intended to enter it in the model contest. Unfortunately, it didn't win anything (I did take home a first place in the figures category with a Devastator Centurion and a second place in science fiction category with a Fine Molds X-wing). I don't play Tau so I have no use for this model other than to like nice in my display cabinet.

Comments and criticism welcome as always!

Looks great! The bold, clean colours really suit Tau and the paintwork is excellent!

Looks awesome

That's a job well done!

I've never really cared for the pose though...it's like "Hey, did someone lose their bonding knife? I got it right here!"

Cheers guys!

I agree, the pose is rather awkward... you would think the blade would be unsheathed, right?
