Plasma rules! I mean, it insta-kills guard, and ignores marine armour! It's below 30 points as well!

I agree with -T, a little bit of blue in the recesses would liven it up alot, try a wash of asurmen blue, re-highlighed up to white, that wash kicks-ass.I think it may be the pictures, but the robes have been washed with asurmen, re-highlighted, washed with a light wash of shadow grey, and re highlighted again

I assume it's the pictures

Your painting is improving at a crazy rate. Keep up the good work mate. I wanna see more!

Yay for improvement!

Cheers and rep.Thanks

Knight

Thanks SK!

Nice work there Spammy. Very good painting on the Ethereal, and I like the skin. You've done the gold very well and the robes have a lot of texture. On the commander, the conversion is very good. Nice work on the plasma shot. You're very, very brave to use a guardsman in the conversion. Especially if I'm going to see it. It sets the Tau-bashing cogs going like crazy :p

Good work though. Your bravery is worthy of merit so heres some rep!

Wow spam, you've put a lot of hard work into this I'm really impressed. Rep for all your work (not just for the tau)

pilot00 · November 8th, 2009, 14:35

Those are awesome spammy,i liked the convertion and the ethereal s robe very much!REP

I got some new pictures for you!

First is a few shots show ing my full army. I just need 3 more boxes of firewarriors and 2 boxes of kroot. And that'll be my full army. A quick note:this whole army needs stripping quite badly

Pathfinders and their devilfish

Kroot and broken broadside in the background

6 battlesuits(commander, body guard, and elite of 3.

Devilfish, firewarriors, and stealthsuits

Vespids and Hammerhead

Close up of the Vespids

Sniper Drone Team with the Spotter

The ethereal and his honour guard.

My commander has had the flying stand removed and a slight bit of repositioning.

Finally, here's my test scheme painted quickly on a drone. There will be a lot of battledamege on pretty much everything. Due to the fluff(which will be up later)

I know the painting isn't very good

It was just a quick test.

Enjoy guys

Any C&C is greatly appreciated

Nice work, this may just be the angle of the picture, but the commanders plasma stream looks like it isn't coming out of the gun straight, as I said it might just be the pic, and it isn't horribly off so it shouldn't be a problem anyways.

I think if you're going for a worn down battle damaged look you should probobly add a wash of brown or black (or a mix of the two) to your guys armour. Especially on the pathfinders who would be scouting and acting ahead of the main force.

Keep up the good work.

Looks good. The colour scheme seems quite cartoony, but in a good way. It's probably just the blacklining but it look efectiv, don't get me wrong.

The commander looks very good now we can see what's going on.

I quite like the idea behind that Crisis Commander conversion. I'm not entirely sold on the pose, but I guess it's just a personal preference thing...

Also, what exactly did that white Devilfish run in to? It looks like it still has most of it splattered all over the front of the tank!

(I know you said you're going to strip it but sometimes against my better judgement I try and be funny. Occasionally it works...)

Lol! That's my original tau scheme, followed by green, purple, red again, black then white. I soaked the tank to remove the paint, and only scrubbed abit. It was interesting seeing all my different schemes come and go
