Didnt look at FW's site for a while, and finally did and saw some new tau suits (Yay!)
They actually look decent aswell.
does anyone have any painted up pics of them please?
The scale pics used on FW arent that good as the angle they took the pic from obstructs a full height view :(

Generally just want to see some painted up ones, and thier true height / build.

also, any good? the rules ATM for them dont seem too bad, and allow another 9 suits in a tau army.


and the downfall? Just looked at thier price.
£25 per suit!
I may buy 1 now (depending on if i can get a better look at em) and then 2 more later on in time.


For those that havent seen it yet:




And now the poor attempt they have as a "scale" pic.

My Tau, sorry about the poor pics. The size comparison on the FW site is about right, they are taller that R'mer and substatially more than a plastic suit. I will take a measure to them when I've got 'em handy.

Thanks Cpt Jack
I think this has just about done it for me, i guess ill have to order some now lol.

also, how were the casts? recently some of the newer FW models have been a pain in the arse to put together due to parts not matching up too well and needing alot of work.

Worth the £25 per suit?

Worth every penny, in fact I've bought an all FW suit army because of them. They go together easier than the other suits, and the only piece of advice I would offer is to take your time with the poses as I steamed straight into it.

lol, i allways take time with poses
will be a case of blu-tac them together 1st XD

Thanks again mate, and i will be going with all FW suits since the GW ones look like flying box's

I think my GF may now have to shell out £150 for six for xmas
(which in turn means £150 will go from my bank )

Luckily I had bought and paid for my tau before I found out she was pregnant , at least I have enough to keep me going for the next 18 years or so of poverty
