**WarPetrie**

**Munch Munch!**

Cool. Very dynamic.

**Einhänder**

Here's a tau force I sort of stopped working on before school started, I may start continuing them, although I'm starting IG, it's an urban sept that I found kinda of interesting. Liked how they came out. Tell me what you guys think.

**Munch Munch!**

I like 'em. Sorta small though.

**WarPetrie**

just click on the picture to make them bigger

**Munch Munch!**

Yeah just realized it. I really like the kroot. Might buy a box tommorow.

**Ehsteve**

Some of my kroot (only painted figures I have apart from gun drones) and I STILL have to assember roughly 50 or more firewarriors between now and new years day...

Skin is Orkhide, leather in calthan brown, stocks on the kroot rifle are a mix of calthan brown and scab red, the hair is charadon granite and the belly is a heavily washed khemri brown, all metal is a dark grey mix of chaos and skull.

Wanting to do swamp bases for the lot.

**gameandwatch**

First my custom made battlesuits:

Then, my commander Master Shaper Shas'el Cha'kan:

**WarPetrie**

**nyyman**

Do you mind if I take this idea?It looks great.

**gameandwatch**

Which Idea???

**Munch Munch!**

The battle suit one. I just love it!

**usernamesareannoying**

hey gameandwatch, howd you make those heads on the regular suits?

**gameandwatch**

The heads are scratch sculpted, everything else was heavily converted or scratchbuilt and cast.

**guardpiper**

Here is a link to my gallery of my tau army. Ignore the white bases, I am basing them army now.

**Frostyfire**

Mine are more of a different style of painting than conversions. I went with bright yellow and green and a theme.

**ghosty**

nice

vey, uhh green. have you thought about washing them with an ink to add some depth though?

@gameandwatch (hehe the gameandwatchis awsome ^^) howd you make those guns? such a cool idea.

**Elliotminorkid**

The head convert ions on the battle suits are incredible, what did you use for them? just spare bits?

I am just freaking stunne by all your work! Keep it up guys!

**Stump**

Really good work here folks. I gotta tell ya though Frostyfire, yours are so bright they burnt my eyes a little bit.

Here are some of my dirty Tau I am doing for my brother.

**Munch Munch!**

Got any fw's done?

**tylermenz**

Here is my FW inspired Broadside that I have been working on:

and some painted stuff

**Flinty**

@Tylermenz - I like that stippled blue camo effect. I think the Hammerhead cockpit could do with a bit more detailing though. The flat black feels a little too minimalist

Some of my Tau

Mk2 Broadsides

Medevac objective marker

A slightly modified Railhead from back in the days when you could arm all vehicles with additional drones

Armoured patrol

and a bit of a group shot

**Munch Munch!**

Wow. I'd like to see more of those fw's. Great work. All of you.
