Hi !

New commission going on here and this one got me really exited as my client asked me to go for a really dirty/rusty looking army which is what I prefer to do.


This what it looked like on the 22nd, February :





The crash test drone :



WIP drones :



Drones !





Stealth suits




















So right now :

29 FW
20 Pathefinders
6 Stelath suits
3 battle suits
1 commander in suit
2 broadsides
1 HQ

Done in two weeks.

Still to do
1 riptide
1 stormsturge.

Hope you like it !

Looks great as usual.

How the heck do you paint fully assembled models so easily? Crisis suits and firewarriors are the only ones i can paint relatively easily while theyre fully assembled.

Looks excellent, the only part I'm not a fan of is the green glow on the FWs and Stealth Suits, it looks a bit out of place and jarring. Other than that, fantastic stuff!

Glorious.

Love the green glow effect on them.

Well, these are actually really easy to paint while built but, the Riptide and Stomrsturge are in a lot of un-assembled pieces. I got legs - torso - arms - the big canon of the ss.

I agree for the stealth suits, it's a bit too much in comparaison of what I wanted but my client really likes it so... It's good to me.
About the FW though I tend to totally disagree
This green glow is the only actual color on the model, so, without it, they would look very "empty".

Excellent work on those models - Tau can be hard to get to look great, as they are a bit simple in their aesthetics but you've done a great job here!

Mondays update

The last two models of the army, I kept the better for the end







And the full army !







Two weeks from boxes to ready to play !

Wow, those look amazing - and so fast!

I've always loved gritty Tau, and these have got to be some of my favorite
