The new FW Battlesuits look amazing, so much better than regular GW suits. I also like the whole concept of Commander Farsight and so put the two ideas together to make my own. I'm not convinced by the blade though so may revisit it and attempt a crystal blade or green cyrstal blade . Hope you like it, C&C welcome.

i like it... it's different but maintains the tau aethestic. i only wish the stats were as mean as it looks!

Very clean and crisp...just how the tau should be. I like it. Great job.

I think you did a great job.

Don't change anything, that sword is perfect. The most it could use is a bit of blending to make it look all power-weapony.

looks good imo. even the blade.

I like it, but could you take a shot that shows off the blade more?

Cheers for the comments, very kind. It's been a while, but things have been hectic. Anywho, here's a better picture of the blade.

VERY nice!!

Very nice work. Brilliant idea.

Impressive conversion.

Similar to the Energy Sword used by the Elites in Halo.

Looks even better than I thought. You cut it out of plasticard?

I like how simple the blade is. A dark green highlighted on the edges with a lighter green.

Nice! I wish I could paint that well.
