Moved to Galleries Forum with slightly adjusted title to reflect the "WIP" status of the army.

With your crisp highlighting, I bet this army looks fantastic on the table. Nice job!

There is nothing that motivates me more than seeing a completed army on the tabletop. You have painted your army beautifully and you should be proud!

Now, are the Devilfish completed yet? They still look a little WIP. I haven't read the whole thread all the way through, so I don't know if you stated that already.

Yes, they are WIP. ~ E.

You *really* don't want to know what I just said when I saw that Broadside! That is ace, mattrs.

GW Golden Demon advice is always to pay attention to the base of your model. You have certainly done that here, making an already impressive Forgeworld Broadside even more so. Excellent work.

Excellent Broadside!

If you do another like that I'd suggest cutting about 3/4-1 inch out of the Rail Guns to shorten them. I did the same conversion as you (but not with the FW model) and the short Rail Guns really balance the model.

Your whole army looks fantastic.

EDIT: I just measured my conversion. I was wrong, it's actually about 3/8-1/2 and inch I removed.

Absolutely stunning sir, very well done.

I am not generally a fan of Tau in green but your work has challenged my beliefs on that one. Very nicely done on the highlighting and, as has been said before, your base work is wonderful.

Well done!

This is beautiful work. I would feel a little sheepish bringing my army to play against your Tau; craftsmanship this good gives your opponent -2 to Ld.

Stunning attention to detail, and brilliant color choices. Love the white and green!

Sweet teeth of Torak!

Very nice colour scheme and nicely painted too. :smile: I really like the round bases you have for your Fire Warriors and your Broadsides look very evil and menacing..

Good job!

Been a while since an update. I have been busy making lots and lots of stuff, 10 Crisis Suits, 3 Sniper Drone Teams, 1 Squad FW + 1 DF plus loads of Gun Drones, Marker Drones etc.

Anyways heres a pic or 2 of my very WIP Sniper Spotter who's hiding in a fox hole.

Still need to do a lot of highlights, the markings need a tidy up etc but hes 75% there

Cheers

I can see it now..

    "Sir.. I don't distinctly remember that bush being there yesterday."
    "Excuse me lieutenant? We have an entire Tau cadre dropping about us, and you're tree hugging!?"
    "B-but sir!?"
    "Be useful damn you! Get yourself to the front lines you idiot!"
    "Sir! right away sir"
    "I mean, Really.. I don't know where they train these fools Commissar"
    "Indeed Commander, and might I add, it is a fine day to remind these Tau of the Emper-"
    SWISH-BOOM.

Great painting, and some lovely models.

~ Tael.
