Ok, so I went and revisited a finecast Tau commander mini that I had made a long time ago. I decided I wanted to make him into a custom Commander Farsight for my swamp Tau. He was from back in 6th or 7th I think, back when support commanders were good. Here is how he looked before...


And the glow up.



I rebased him, 3D printed a custom sword and added his plasma. I then had to be careful that the colors matched and that the new additions looked pretty seamless.

I also have started to use a good lightbox and gimp to edit and hopefully improve the quality of my uploads.

Looks very good! Nice kitbash and paintjob. I like the weathering. cool basework too.

I like the use of the Tau drone on the shoulder. I think I have that bit somewhere and might have to steal that idea myself.

The sword and the base are especially dope

Thanks, this scheme is a lot of fun. The bases give me anxiety (they take multiple pours of resin to get depth), but I like how they turn out.

I saw someone's kitbash in a flgs and I knew I had to do that with mine.

Thanks! The sword was fun. Tried to make a molten iron look to it.
