Tau Devilfish

This weekend, I had some time to work on my Tau Devilfish before playing a game with them.  While the game did not go my way, I was happy to be able to field another painted model.

Tau ethereal

As I talked about before, I completed work on a Tau Ethereal after finishing the Ghostkeel.  Like the Ghostkeel, I have had this model for a while and I am just now getting around to it.

Alternate Vespid Stingwings

I have been thinking about adding a unit of Vespid Stingwings to my T'au army but they are so expensive and are a finecast kit. So instead of paying $90 for two boxes of five,  I decided to lean on my favorite Polish company, Puppets War,  and make my own.

Tau Formations Leaks

Over on the Warseer Forums Iuchiban has leaked out the rules for all the formations.  Here is a list of them and my first impressions.

Tau Commander and crisis suit prices.

Over on warseer we have some more leaked information on the new commander model and crisis suit models.

Rumors: Tau Commander and crisis suits

So it looks like rumors of the new suits have broken.  They look cool and there is a surprise for the Tau as well.

What is Next for Tau?

While RL has been keeping me busy there has been a bunch of leaks for the new Tau forces coming out.  There are new troops, new suits, and a piece of terrain.

WIP: Ghostkeel rumors and thoughts

There have been a lot of rumors about the new ghostkeel battlesuit.  I guess this is as good as time as any to throw out my two cents.

 

Rumors: Stormsurge rules and prices

Today Master Sheol over at Bolter and Chainsword leaked a picture from the upcoming White Dwarf.

Rules Drop for the Tau KX139 Supremacy Armor

Wow oh wow are these rules harsh.

New Tau Spotted!

Someone got a hold of the november Warhammer Visions book and we get a sneak peak at some of the new tau coming out.  Pictures taken from Bolter and Chainsword

Forgeworld: Tau Titan?

This weekend was Forgeworld Open Day.   There were a lot of cool models like the Iron Warrior Primarch, a couple of Chaos Titans, and the Mastodon Troop Transport.  The one thing that caught this Xeno lover's eye was the new Tau KX 139 Ta'unar Supremacy Armor.

Showcase: Commander Shadowsun update.

With whatever flu or cold that was kicking my butt last week I didn't have a lot of time to work on the hobby.  I did get to update my Commander Shadowsun to match my current scheme of blue helmets for HQ choices. I also added some highlights to her armor.  I hope you like her.

Showcase: Fire Warriors

I continued on my quest to finish up my Tau force by working on some fire warriors. 

Showcase Cadre Fireblade

I have a few moments to work on my cadre fireblade this weekend.  I like the look of this HQ choice and he has been waiting to be painted for several months now.

Like with darkstrider I had to change up his head and give him a helmet.  I painted it blue to match my color scheme with all the infantry.  Too bad I didn't do this with my crisis suits.  I am tempted to go back and fix Shadowsun as well. 

I just can bring myself to paint over the briliant paint job of Brandon Anderson's crisis suit commander.

 Hope you guys have a great rest of the weekend.

Questions? Comments? Pew pew pews?

Pathfinders completed...

...just in time to cancel Adepticon! While I am happy that the pathfinders are complete I have decided that I will not be going to Adepticon. Things have come up and so I won't be able to make it to the great con. I might be able to hit up another con we shall see.

Showcase: Pathfinders

Last night I had some time to work on my Tau Pathfinders. I finished up 5 of them. Warning loads of pics incoming.

Plans for the firestorm Redoubt

So last post I talked about how I wanted to make a firestorm redoubt for my Tau. While I could get the actual set and use it I think that it would look better if it was more of a Tau feel. First of all I have to have an idea to start with.

Showcase: Darkstrider

My friend Stewie gave me a pack of pathfinders and Darkstrider for my birthday. I quickly assembled the models and primed them this weekend.  Last night I started painting them and focused on finishing Darkstrider. Here are shots of the fruit of my labor.

Showcase: Gun Drones

I didn't have a lot of time this week to work on hobby stuff but I did have time to finish up some gun drones.
