I really should have posted about this guy earlier as I've been working on him for a while now, but for whatever reason I've always forgotten to take a picture, so here he is, almost finished and ready for painting. It's not entirely evident from the picture, but he's pinned and magnetised to his base, which uses spare parts from my Storm Raven. The toothpicks are there to build up tracks either side of the main vent part to make it look like its crashed and skidded along the ground. Once its covered in basing material and built up, I'm hoping it'll give a nice effect.
You may also be able to see the disc of a magnet on the underside of one of the arms, I've placed them in the same place on the other arm, as well as in a place so that the shield/sword thing can be magnetised between the two arms depending on how I feel he should be armed. The arms will be glued to the body though in a fixed pose.
You can just about make out the squad of Firewarriors behind him that'll form the minimum Troops and HQ component for this allied detachment. Looking forward to getting these guys painted up with a quick and lightly coloured scheme so I can test them out on the board.
More updates on this one should be coming soon.

Tau eh ? Humm. Now where did those Black Templars go ?
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't be too worried, our upcoming game could be its first outing, and you know just what happens to any big, new, shiny model in its first game ;)
