I'm quite excited about April's competition, hopefully my initial plan will meet fruition and I can complete something to a better standard than this month.

I really hope May's theme is something I can slot some Tau into - I want to vary my painting from just Dark Angel green and paint up a Farsight Enclave army in tandem. Before I could put my thinking cap on for April of what Tau veteran I would do, my long-engrained Imperial mind-set shoved a cool idea in my head which I just can't shake.

You could totally do a Tau vet. One springs to mind from the books - a tau pathfinder called Jhi’kaara or 'broken mirror'. Think she was badly wounded to the face (lost an eye maybe) and gets all hardcore and grumpy (for a tau). She's in a book and a short story - Fire Caste (not a great read at all but she's pretty cool in it) and Out Caste as well I think. Fluff could make for a pretty cool conversion piece.

Not a bad idea, gotta tell you though it was more that my Dark Angel idea got me all excited. I started thinking about visually what a veteran was and I come across people who have "endured" life and some who have been through war. It's about loss, be it physical or mental that marks that they have survived. Veterans just keep going despite this. So I landed upon the idea of prosthetics to mark those who found a way to keep fighting. So I'm using a combination of standard SM Company Champion parts, DA veteran parts and Iron Hands finecast components to form 3 members of a Dark Angels Command Squad who are attached to Azrael. I own an old metal apothecary and brother bethor models, but not sure I'll focus on these primarily. I want Brother Bethor's standard to be swappable so I can have all of the sacred standards and company standard etc and I can't immediately work out how to make the metal apothecary look veteran.

Long explanation, but it's why I never even got close to thinking about a Tau veteran, because I got super-motivated to make these DA veterans.

Sounds good man. Go to it! Cleaning'n'trimming this solitair model now - crikey - delicate wee bugger!

Hey guys, I'm in 4 the first time.

Pics will follow.

Hey guys,

here is my project.

A Space Wolve even when I don't usually built and paint SW.

Most parts are from Scibor Minis.
My brother in law gave me these parts a while ago and I never knew what 2 do with them....

Looks cool!
