Very nice Martial! The model is superb and the fluff really makes it come alive. While yes, I did assist with the grammar and all, the ideas were yours and the character is unique and complex.

Now I see a Kasrkin Storm Trooper model with a Firewarrior head and attached Pulse Rifle. What other modifications were made?

@Wolf: Thank you for your help! It's sometime difficult to find a good spellchecker on the web, and it didn't work with a 100% efficiency. I really appreciate the time you spent on this to correct it !

And you're right for the bitz parts you've seen. The only things you've missed at first sight is the Space Marine scope on the rifle and the Firewarrior shoulder strap on the left arm.

Good stuff as always! I can't wait for more stuff! Are you going to make a human battlesuit?

Mr Quaad looks good, you have done a good job converting and painting him.

Keep up the good work ... if WoW allows that

@Terminator: Well, I was thinking about to build some Gue'vesa battlesuits a long time ago, but since a human is an humanoid (obvious conclusion is obvious!) like a Tau, a little modification of the cockpit to fit its morphology won't put a problem to the engineers of the Earth Caste (10 to 20 cm higher, five fingers, plantigrade). It will take only a little rearrangement of volumes and internal spaces

So the GXV-8 will look as similar than a normal XV-8, sorry to break your dreams. :p

This is why I've add the species under each profile to know if the pilot is a Guel'a or a Tau!

@Che: Shhhh, you fool! Don't tell anyone that I play to this game! They'll believe this is why I'm so late in my army!!

Clarification,

Gue'ui Martial is not playing an on-line game called WoW, neither does that cut down his efforts to work on his Tau/Gue'vesa, neither has Gue'vre Che Gue'vesa any knowledge of this game nor any other so called MMORPG's

Have a nice day

-Department for Gue'vesa interests
-Office of Gue'vre Che Gue'vesa

It is a funny coincidence that my spell-check wants to change MMORPG's to Morphine's

Yeah, those two drugs have the same secondary effects on the user: dependance, state of detachment, difficulty of expression...

Ahhhh, good old WoW...it's been so long...

Anyways...there's really not much more I can say that hasn't already been said, and I don't think I even have to ask at this point!

As fast as the turtle, I deliver you the last report from the CAV-5!

It was time to take a handle of brushes and release the Citadel rainbow.

And I didn't find any better case to reopen than a model that I didn't touch since two years!


It was my first attempt with the "new" Baal Red at the time, and the colors were suddenly too bright, compared to my precedent XV-8 who were based with a Scab Red and its traditionnal density problem.


So I decided to base the model anew, and restart from the beginning.


The result was enough satisfying to my taste, so here it is, the last little one of my growing family!



See ya for the next update!

That red is as crisp as always, good stuff!

Looking good Martial! I have always liked the way you did your reds and this is no exception. You still are gonna finish that base, right? Seems like it needs some painting!

Now tell me we won't have to wait another few months before the next update, right? Seriously though, it's great to see you updating again!

Thanks, Termi, It was hard to find a new way with the Foundation range and still keeping the same feeling of red of my older suits!

And sorry Wolf, but I'm really really bad at drybrushing, so I will keep the most natural look of the sand like I already did before. But you're right, it misses one or two touch of grass or plant.

And concerning my updating schedule, well...I paint more than I ever had. the reason is my friend who come to my place every friday so we can paint and exchange idea together. I hope this will keep me more motivated than before!

Yes, keep painting and posting, your work looks great!

I hope to be updating one of my projects soon.
