I'm going to be a bit naughty and double post in my own thread
But I thought it would divide the shots up a little bit as this thread is dedicated to both my tau and space marine forces, now as promised, I have a few pictures of Shas'o r'myr, the one joy I have with forge world battlesuits is that they are multi posable, and the inspiration behind this pose was something I saw at games day, with the model in question holding his shield up and poking his gun cheekily under it, I couldn't exactly reproduce it, but the effect I still like.

Here he is from the from the right


And from the Left


A full frontal


And here he is behind his shield

This next post is dedicated to my salamanders, I'm currently working on my command squad and I believe the last you saw of it, the apoth was in pieces, he's now finished, and I sneakily finished the standard bearer as well. I still have the assault gunner and the vet Sargent to go, but I'm currently working on a broadside for a comp ... that and I ran out of blood red <___<

Apoth from the left


Apoth from the right


Standard bearer


And the standard

some serious awesomeness going on in here. why is it that people only update their threads when i'm not around ? i miss so much cool stuff

love the battle suit dav, the forge world ones look so much better than the GW ones and your paint job really does it justice. the sallies are looking aces too, the medic is groovy but the banner is just something else!

Just a little update, this W.I.P. Is seemingly harder to do now that im on 13 hour shifts every day, so im getting along very slowly atm, but so far, i managed to get the command squad totaly nailed, and a terminator librarian, and the next squad in the works is a 10 man Veteran squad dedicated to my friends at the leicester store, pictures to follow tonight after work, and of course, please get me with your sticks, i need the motivation to paint after all these ungodly shifts

i can confim that after several months of painting on every stuarday and lots of uncounted hours at home the command squad is finished and look damn fine....by the end of the year he may have a kill team
and now everyone seems to be devoting a squad to the regulars at leicester....youre doing yu re vets, djs got his justicars, brads planning it....bit is a cool idea though

I Think my vets are gonna be the hardest to do, they are definatly gonna take longer than the command squad, not only am i putting in the normal effort for me, every single model is getting a personalized backpack banner as well.

Leave Blarg out of your Puny Salamanders he is a Shadowstalker, always was,always will be. On the same note (c# - C sharp for slow witted people) he has not existed since the dawn of everything he is the Founder and stupidly AWESOME BADASS Chapter Master of the Shadowstalkers. His Badassery is only beaten by Primarchs and the EMPEROR OF MANKIND!.

On a different note (E this time) they look awesome but how is it possible to spend more time on your veterans? i mean you took beyond ages with the command squad although this wets my lips as they will look quite badass when done.

okay im all done, my bad for off topic badassery but i had to make a point to the public.

ah its nice to see advice put into action, must say it was a damn good suggestion of mine to suggest that you make the flames look more yellow. The Libby looks quite on the awesome side as does the GD figure atm.

So when do you start a conversion for Vulkan H'estan from the new SM codex?
