Hey guys,
Its been a while since I posted anything up here, but I figured I'd bring over my latest finished commission! This was the second part of a Tau army; I painted and completed the first chunk last November or so. Anyways, this group consisted of:

2 XV9 Hazard Suits
5 Fully magnetized Crisis Suits
Hammerhead
Devilfish
3 Piranha
a TON of Gun Drones

As usual, I'll let my pictures speak for me, though they were a little rushed, and therefore not the best quality.















I'm currently working on the next chunk of that Word Bearers army I put pictures up for a few months ago, as well as some Eagle Warrior Reinforcements for Snake Eyes over at Table Top War! As usual, C&C is appreciated!

I'm fairly certain those XV9 suits hate me, they didn't want to stay glued together.

Very nice use of the Drybrush technics. Very on topic simulating desert hash covering everything.

Just one problem to me.

The left engine on both the Hammerhead and the Devilfish (the engines to the right looking at the pics) show a really horrible mold line.
This is really something I can't stand, especially in a commission job.

Most of all because all the rest of the models are well prepared and finished.

Quite a shame imho.

Those look great! The color scheme blows me away. I especially like the use of orange on the Hammerhead. Would you be willing to provide some instructions on how to achieve that gray-ish color?

I'm glad you like them guys!
@Toban: I totally agree with you. The flashing on the right engine is a mistake I missed. Usually I don't miss that stuff, though the client didn't seem to mind it. As for those of you interested in how I got the paintscheme down, drop me a PM and I'll give you my tips.
