Pathfinder Progress Part 3: Almost Done!

Thats most of the first pathfinder squad finished off, just need to add a little snow to the base which is tomorrows job methinks.

I’ve really enjoyed painting this squad, especially since its my first miniatures in years that don’t feature any metallics.  This is something I waned to do from the start, as I’ve always seen Tau as using something else, something more advanced than mere metal, like the Eldars wraithbone. Also need to think of a good excuse as to why they are running around in a snowy urban environment in bright red armor, as Tau seem to be one of the few armies that understands how camouflage works!

Pathfinders Progress Part 2

I have most of the pathfinders sorted, just some small details and the bases to be done. Oh, and the sept markings, as I’m not sure exactly what I’m doing with them yet. Overall I am happy with how they’re coming out, which bodes well for a full force.

A wee bit of painting has been done on the pathfinders since my last post. Have the armour and the cloth done on the first five and will be looking to get the sept colour done next, which I think will either be a light blue or turquoise(I’m notorious for having this colour somewhere in my forces).

Tau Spotted!

With the allure of the new codex I have decided to go ahead with a slow burn Tau army. Need to keep myself disciplined on this though. I will only be getting new models once the ones I have are finished, and will only be getting them to the table once painted. It’s my hope that this will ensure the whole lot gets done in the end. So without further ado here’s some pics:

Just a basic battlesuit here, I was tempted to go forgeworld but the pricetag really throws me off and I think the GW kit looks great with a few minor alterations.

The new Pathfinder kit has to be one of the best kits I’ve seen for a while. £16 from my local retailer and you get 10 excellent looking pathfinders, a recon drone and two other drones of your choice. Bargain! Admittedly the there isn’t much posability(its a word :D) to them without a lot of work, but I don’t think its even necessary unless you where going to have loads of the blighters.

“Mons Meg” finished!

After finishing off the at ease squad I found a whole lot of enthusiasm for the daunting task of the Basilisk. Finished the beast off earlier today and am very pleased with the results, especially with how the Aquila turned out. Cant wait to get stuck into the other vehicles that are in the army now 🙂

 

At Ease Squad Finished :)

finished off the painting on the at ease squad today and very pleased with it. The whole force together looks great so will have to get an army shot together over the weekend. In the mean time I’ll be getting stuck into the Basalisk, all those flat surfaces are begging for something special…
