I have now completely finished farsight ... I dry brushed the base and washed the scroll but went futher and tidied up the white as it wasn't very smooth or clean (which is very important when painting white I have found out)
I also felt I went over board with the object source lighting and battle damage chips. I tuned both of these things down a few notches for a more subtle effect in both cases. It doesnt show much in the pictures but it is a big improvement on the 90 percent finished model I feel. Here are some more pictures.
I plan to buy some more tau soon, a hammerhead, a skyray and some crisis suits. Then I can finally build a proper far sight list and do a bat rep for all of you good people. Also we are going to do a give away soon I wont say what or why, but hey everyone loves a good free stuff thing dont you? I never win give aways but at least I can give stuff away to our followers and live vicariously through you lol !

Pathfinder Shas'ui (paintjob)
Hi there hope you all have checked out the battle report the post before this one ;) anyways this is just a quick one to show you the first painted guy in my unit of 6 pathfinders.
They are built from fire warriors with no conversion work that is pretty lazy I'll admit but I had run out of green stuff and couldnt put off painting one as i had the painting urge at the time. I think the pathfinders are going to look the same as the fire warriors but for the sergant/ shas'ui I painted the helmet red and white as opposed to white so he stood out.
I did a minor conversion on his left arm and hand so that he is putting his hand up as if to say "hold" to the other scouts behind him the other pathfinders are all crouching down to make this look more so as i imagine it you can see this better if you watch the bat rep. Happy blogging/wargaming !

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 ...
