Posting these here for Brother Paen. Fantastic job, BTW. So very glad to finally see paint on one of my models. Please enjoy......

Amazing with th paintjob also congratulations on a hundred pages of sheer awesomesauce.

Thanks, Theo, I didnt realize i hit 100......

Those painted up really well!

Yeah, I really like the Dk. Re and gold scheme!

Thanks for the look. I plan on going back and "chipping and weathering" the toes and feet , adding some "oily" areas ,some banners and maybe "damage" the carapace . I'm also torn on whether or not to put Glow on the weapons. Opinions?

Glowy weapons would be the icing on that cake. They look brilliant...literally!

Well certainly on the plasma blast gun.

So the master is done for the shoulder pads/upper arms:






As is the mold, which worked fantastically the first time......

Reminder, these parts are all miscast from the first or second casting attempts from each mold. They arent the best castings....

Got this mocked up tonight. Wondering what you guys think....








Still lots of detail to go on the hand and gun body but over all I like it so far. Wondering mainly about the hand and fingers......

still havent decided if I am gonna redo the feet. The lower leg has been redone to shorten it just havent mocked them in yet.....

Ahh NOW I see it! Is it a suit? Does a Tau pilot the thing?

I like it so far, but there really should be more body to it. The legs are so long and spindly compared to the tiny thorax that it looks out of place to me. Otherwise all the crafting is excellent.

My main gripe with it is the lower legs.

They're just too straight, and there should really be a joint in there somwhere as all Tau (and in turn their mecah) have the 3 joint Unguligrade legs, not Plantigrade like you have there.

(The Warhounds are Digitigrade.. like a dog. )

I also think the head is a little to large for the rest of the body.

The rest, I can put down to alternate design and looks fine so far.
Keep up the good work!

Yes, Dave, a suit with a pilot.

Theo, I flopped back and forth about the body. I think maybe I will beef up the under arm area....


Ovion, I am considering a remake of the foot to fix that...

I personally didnt care for the no rear toe thing they have going on but my foot simply doesn't give that elongated standing on the toes vibe that it should.....

Been think about the legs and I think that it will look better with no rear toe, closer to the unguligrade.

Also, currently mocking up a set of legs with the shorter lower leg and it looks better. Photos later.


Finished the first weapon:







The hand needs some work after it comes out of the mold and the barrels simply need a new mold. This one is so very hard to use. Well, Christmas holiday is coming up..... plenty time to play then......

I like the half-loaf of bread he left in his wake

Haha.... My larder doth truly run over......

This weather keeps up and I may be able to start the Warlord early.....

Early birthday present from my wife, proving yet again that she loves me.....

I guess mine hates me because she's never bought me a miniature, much less Lego.

I am sure he doesn't hate you Theo..

fixed my post (S)he doesn't buy me Lego or miniatures stupid touchscreen going out on my iPad. Usually it's just the T that gets dropped off. Hope that fixes any strange ideas about me

Nope

None of the strange ideas we had about you involved your sexual orientation..........
