Wasn't seeing a lot of new Tau Commanders, so I thought I'd share mine! I was going for a Robotech kind of theme.


A little custom work with the magnetizing and stand but I think it works. Working on an army with this theme as well (in gallery).

Thats an awesome paint job. A perfect blend of used and worn yet polished and clean.

The pose though, look a bit like a chicken running away in panic

100% agreed

Yeah the paintjob is awesome but those legs....it looks like someone doing jumping jacks or something.

As others have pointed out, I think the paint is great but the legs bring this to mind:

Pretty nice paint job and it's great that you've magnetised weapons, but those legs man... He looks like a frog

Agreed with all posts above. Fix the legs and you're golden! Awesome paint job, I'm planning in doing something similar but I know I won't do it as well

Maybe it's a jump-pack jumping jack?

But seriously I like the paintjob and the magnetized bits are done well. might seem like a weird thing to compliment but Ive seen bad magnet jobs before.

From the front, the Commander looks very surprised that a clear pole was shoved up his backside... From the side, where we can see the attachment options, it looks friggin amazing.
