I know I've told myself NOT to use Farsight or make something to proxy for him a million times. But since I have the sword laying around, I may as well cave in and try using him (Even though I still think he's terribad)

The Sword

The Body

The Shield

The Head

The arm holding the shield

Feel free to comment and critique

Looks quite imposing! base him well, young one!

**JunkyOrk**

Looks pretty tops, that little flange on the shield for where the wing connects to its slot though could be filed down. It just seems out of place. Otherwise great work

**Warboss Imbad Ironskull**

that's a big friggen shield

Personally I don't like very many conversions that people do for Farsight but then again I don't like the normal Farsight model either. That being said as far as conversions though it's something I haven't seen before so you get kudos for that

and the DE Cold One Knight head crest makes him look like a samurai

**MechaEmperor7000**

It reminds me of a knife-wielding Master Gundam. However I think the shield's a little too big.

**Grass4hopper**

I'm a fan of big shields personally, it reminds me of the shield from Neon Genesis Evangelion. I'm not crazy about the head crest though, just MHO.

I tried getting rid of it the best way I could without a file (Because the closet thing to one in this household is some odd rock looking object that would've ruined the shield), and here's the unfortunatly blurry results.

My camera can focus on all other parts but that section shield when Macro is on

Otherwise don't be fooled by the white ripped plastic looking bitz, as with my trusty Xacto knife it's as smooth as a baby's bottom

Thanks. Good to know I've struck some kind of originality

. But yeah, I found that crest lying around in the Bitz Box and had to use it

I love this! My knowledge of the Tau range is pretty poor, where did you get the wing/shield from?

**Retrias**

I think it's from one of the Vehicle chassis, the end look like a drone..... Devilfish?

**Perkustin**

I've bought a couple devilfish and it don't look like that, is it the underpart of the front wing? As the upper part is contoured and that is flat... Oh almost forgot i like the samurai head dress.

**Orock**

Just a heads up on what there working on now and what makes me think we will see new tau sooner than later.

Thanks. The shield comes from the SkyRay's missile rack.
