The Shapers Sent Us to Serve

As promised, pictures of my wife's handiwork (in more ways than one).

It's definitely an alien life form...

But it's a charming one!

A picture is worth forty-thousand words.

TITAN POWER FIST!!

Portrait.

Profile.

I always was an ass man.  The black/red/white hair-spikes look really good in person; she was inspired by the similarly-styled (but different colors) models in the Codex: Tau Empire.

Making a Liar Out of Me

Within the last few weeks I posted to the Shack (in response to something K0LM posted, I think) that my wife would never voluntarily paint a miniature.  Well, words, if I could find you, I'd eat you.  She passed by the table while amrbean and I were getting ready to play the other night, caught sight of a Kroot Carnivore, and declared that she wanted to paint one.  And she meant it, apparently.

I've been barred from posting closeups until she's completed it to her satisfaction, though.

Albino Kroot

Pretty much finished priming all the assembled models I have this afternoon.  Unfortunately the white Rustoleum "plastic primer" I used on the Kroot was real thick, and it globbed out most of the detail on the models.  Part of me doesn't care 'cause A) I don't like Kroot and 2) they're much more complicated to paint than FWs and battlesuits, so my desire:patience ratio to do so was already very low.  But the perfectionist in me is eventually going to want to try the stuff discussed here. 

My ad hoc priming station.

Poor Kroot.  Those are the veteran FWs that survived this past week's game vs Mike.

Mechanized elements ahoy!  The one with the burst cannon attached is my Devilfish, the other is a to-be-magnetized Hammerhead.

The real reason people love and play Tau.
