Forge world Tau commander battle suit finished

Hi there fd minis back with another post (we are on fire!) This time just a little miniatures showcase for you I painted my commander as you can see here is a video from our youtube showing the model and some talking stuff about it and some pics at the end. It starts with the eldar model you have already seen and very badly focused.

So skip to about the 44 second mark to avoid bluriness cheers!

Eldar harlequin troupe master and forge world tau commander

Hey all,
This Harlequin dude is for my mate george who plays eldar ... now this is the first Eldar i have ever painted and let me tell you it may look so so but it was an absoloute joy to paint I didnt even get round to finnishing all the gems there are that many I kinda gave up but there is also loads of oppurtunity to go nuts with freehand stuff.

The diamond black and white diamonds was freehand as is the yellow heart/cross thing on his chest most of the stuff i stole from the GW website pics anyways I hope he likes it because it took ages lol here are some more pics of the dude ...

In other news I have got full on into collecting tau again with a major purchase of a forge world XV9 battle suit which i hodge podgedly converted to a different load out from two twin linked burst cannons it came with to a more legal missile pod and fusion blaster with shield generator load out.

I've almost finnished painting my cities of death tau kill team which i will post pictures of tommorow happy blogging/hobbying thanks for readin... :)

Emperors children Raptors and Battle report

 Hi there, allan here and I've finnished a few raptors in the following paint scheme...

I already described how i changed it first on space marine the ps3 game so I thought I'd show my raptor skin for the game first.
Here are the minatures ..

Today i played against George a 855 point each side capture and control table quaters game of 40k my chaos marines against his eldar.

I had daemon prince with mark of slaan and doombolt, two 5 man squads of chaos marines one with power weapon and a 7 man squad of raptors with two melta guns and a champion with paired lightning claws.Finally i packed in my havocs with  the big guns we all love to shoot at things.

George had a jetbike seer council with all the lovely cheesey stuff i can never remember, a load of guardian jetbikes, 5 dire avengers and 5 banshees.

I went first moving toward georges base keeping the havocs in my own with their long range goodness and my daemon prince in reserve. I shot some dire avengers and made a load of saves from the guardian fire.

George shot loads of flamers at my raptors with the warlocks in the seer council he killed all but one then assualted and killed that one :(

I Brought the daemon prince in from reserve, finished off the dire avengers and lost some more guys to shruiken fire.

Plasma gun chaos marine killed a banshee and then got assualted by them and the seer council. I was thoroughly wiped out.
Right about turn 4 i finally got the daemon prince into assualt range and got some revenge on the seer council.

The Daemon Prince did not do well against them in the first round of close combat as he hit out against everyone except the farseer this was stupid of me because he was giving them fortune and guide and all that nasty eldar trickery! DP lost combat but made the fearless armour save. This left the prince with one wound left however but then next turn turn 5 assualt phase the daemon prince struck down the farseer rippin him and his bike in half mwuahah then turn six came after we rolled to continue.

The guardian bikes and banshees assualted the remaining five man marine squad with power weapon and flamer the chaos marines were cut down before they could respond. The bikes then consolidated back into the eldar base securing their victory as all the chaos troop choices were dead and the game ended.

Hello, quick mini segment from S,

I finally decided on a chitin colour scheme and look forward to painting the rest of my aweeesommme nids arrrmy.
