Love it!

I still don't know anything about Gundam or what ever this is based on but I continue to enjoy it nonetheless!

That is a beast! I only wish the head was like the actual Eva's, but it still looks hella awesome!

Very cool!

Now, if you do a Eva00 or 02, NOW WE'D BE TALKING!

What you're missing here is that it'd be Shinji and Warhammer 40,000. Very different character.

(search "Shinji and Warhammer 40,000" fanfictions. You'll be happy about it.)

Bravo! Beautiful anime tau!

I just read threw the whole thread and saw your comment on using custom decals. Would you reveal your methods in this? Or is that going to remain your secret?

Either way keep up the great work!

Thanks! I'd love to make Rei's and Asuka's Eva, but the color schemes are a bit monotone compared to Unit 01, and I don't think my wallet would like that either. lol

Thanks Casey, go and check out "Evangelion 1.11 You Are (Not) Alone". It's a re-vamp of the original series..

Thank You! Custom decals are a straightfoward process. My methods are the same that you find on the tutorials here and on youtube.. 99% prepwork 1% pray to the decal gods

I don't like the paint jobs or the gigantic heads. They look ridiculous. Just my opinion.

Thanks, I'll check that out asap, anything else you recommend?

Also, you should totally enter the Dakka Painting Challenge! The theme would be right up your street, check out the link in ny signature!

I've taken a look through this thread and noticed I haven't posted in it yet. What the hell?

Really digging that everything on that Eva Riptide

Check out some of my fundamentals:
"Gundam: 08th MS Team". Best one out of the entire series, IMO.
"Space Battleship Yamato" all 3 series, (1)'Quest for Iscandar'-watch this FIRST, (2)'Comet Empire', (3)'The Bolar Wars'
"Super Dimension Fortress Macross"

ah... Infinity..... NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOO.....
And it's taking all of my self-control (what little remains) to NOT touch the Infinity line. The minis are so awesome that I know once I get some, I'm just going to buy the entire line.
Yep.... not gonna do that..... control, control,control..don'tlookatthatbuymoreTauinstead.......................


ChiliPowderKeg, Thanks!

I'm late to the party. But the concept is brilliant!

Thanks matey, I'll check them out as soon as I can!

As for the Infinity, this is the absolute best time to paint your first one! Think about it this way, if you win a prize it'll make it much cheaper for you to start! You know you can't resist those pretty little anime miniatures! You could even use them to proxy Tau... I even converted two of them into Tau for my Necromunda blog.

OH feth feth feth feth.

Wow, I haven't been so interested in 40k in a long time. Brilliant. The Ten Desires made me laugh particularly hard, and I really like the themed units. Everything just works for me! This is the most otacool army I've ever seen, although I've only seen a handful.

LOL... between Infinity and Soda Pop, I'm not going to have any money to get more Tau! -or food for that matter...

I do have 2 more gunship projects on the short list for ideas, one may involve a certain sleepy gatekeeper, the other, a raven.

For the deployed fist on your riptide, did you use a Gundam part for that? And which scale is it, 1/100 or 1/144?

It's off of a Zaku (I don't remember which particular model) , 1/100 scale I believe. A gaming buddy gave me a whole box of Zakus and misc. parts for them during a trade day at our flgs.
The fingers were cut off and redone to fit Tau design, as well as making a wrist piece to make it less static looking..

You Should make a Demon-count as Angel to fight against that EVA.

Holy hell, Unit 01 looks awesome! I love the metallic paint you gave it.

"Get in the fething robot Shinji!"

We're Back!
Happy Halloween

New figures! First up,
Introducing, C.C. as the pizza-loving, tank ace 'Longstrike'.
She's magnetized to the turrent hatch, she can also stand on her own base. (I'll get a picture of that soon)


Next,
Introducing: Saber, as the Cadre Fireblade.


More pics in the OP!

Enjoy!

Sweet, was wondering when you'd get back to this.

Awesome as always.

Now I'm wondering how long until you have some Infinite Stratos in there.

Those look awesome 7yler!

May I ask how you did the transfers (or free hands) on the tanks? I'm doing an Attack on Titan Tau/Eldar army soon and I wanted to do something similar!

Lucarikx

If that's what the year 40k looks like, I'd join the greater good.

Your army made me step on a fire warrior, too much anime!

How did you put on the pictures on the tanks? Are they transfers? If they are I really want to learn how to do them.

Wow! Definitely a unique army, awesome nonetheless though.

i'll never understand how the hell you managed to paint such detailed images on those devilfish, especially the transparent one.

Your level of painting is insane.

Your riptide is one of a kind. Very nice work and posing done to make it look like its in the heat of battle....(or skipping around in victory. Lol). The decals on all the tanks is a pretty cool idea as well.

While this sort of thing is not something I would do personally, I respect your talent and commitment.

Not sure what the overall theme you are going for is though. A few Bing searches turned up half a dozen different shows your work seems to be based on. Or is this just a generally "Anime-themed" thing you've got going?

Either way, Good work on the painting and keep up the good work.

Thanks! The entire army is a 'canvas' for my general anime theme, with all the units from different shows or characters that I think would be fun to showcase.

Thanks for all the comments everyone! Keep them coming!
Happy Halloween!!
