Cross posting some pictures from the Hall of Honor > Army Showcase thread. I didn't take a ton of close ups, those can be found elsewhere on the B&C. Comments and criticism welcome. Characters Shadowseer Solitaire Troops Fast Attack Heavy Support Dedicated Transports Transportation

So my local event organizer designed a large-scale battle to cap the year off. This will take all five of the large tables in my FLGS as the community battle over the course of the day. The main forces in this are: Defenders - Xenos Factions (minus Nids) Attackers - All chaos factions, GSC, Guard and Admech (Traitor and dark effectivately) The over arcing mission of this event is to stop the Chaos forces from completing a ritual on a majority of the tables. This is a modified version of the Ritual mission from 9th if my guess is right. The defenders will be divided by faction to protect their assigned area/table. So far there is only one other Tau player in this. However between the two of us we are fielding a combined total of almost 9K (5300 for me, 3600 for him). So this is going to be a semi-packed table. I’m not sure on my counterpart’s force comp, but here is the list of units that I will be bringing to the defense. Dark Wind Cadre 7th Gue'vesa Wing This is pretty much my entire collection, at least the painted portion. I do still have more units to work on, but will not be done by the event (Dec 16th) as I need a break from tau after finishing the Ta’unar. Speaking of which, some pictures I took of the battle ready unit. I want to add another GCS trooper and some flare to the other two engines later. Just ran out of greenstuff and I don’t have access to another trooper. The one I used is from the Ridgerunner kit I have and the splated arms are used from my sister’s spare parts of her GSC collection. For the suits, plan is to consolidate them and do 3 teams of 3 with a commander, this will leave a commander on their own, but the same will happen with the fireblades. My major hope is that I only have to face one of the three Chaos Knight players I know are attending. Honestly I figure the EO will spread them out a bit. The rest is going to be how the first turn goes cause whoever gets it will be causing a large amount of pain in the opening salvo. Also not sure if their will be some version of Sustained Assault, though there is a decent chance there will be.

Greetings all! So I'm starting a new thread to track my expanded hobby progress since my last one was sorta here and there, and maybe a little unwieldy. I've had work in progress shots shared between so many threads that have either been lost in database resets or are quite depreciated from age. So the purpose of this thread, or at least the hope for it is that I keep it updated with all the projects in the pipeline. While I would love to start off with a bunch of pictures, as of June 2017 a certain image hosting site has lost their fool minds, and now I've gotta move everything over... For now, I'll just leave the list of completed units up. Currently this army consists of the November Warriors Space Marine chapter, the Knight House Garaipena, and recently a few sisters from the Order of the Frozen Flame. Eventually I'd like to add in the 156th Farbanti Lightning Riders (Elysium Droptroopers based/ODST inspired), A proper Titan cadre, and from there who knows (maybe Mechanicus?).

My Biker force is rather weak and I'd like to get that at least up to Jump Infantry sized. Transport is sorta an issue with only two three Rhinos, and a drop pod that needs to be build. The Devastators are more or less ready to get going, but I've been so focused on clearing my resin backlog I'm not quite sure when I'll get to them, same with the 2 tactical squads I want to build to round out my tac company. The 2 mystery machines are tracked and that's all that will be said about that That's not all this thread will have though, currently I'm slowly working on an Apoc sized 6x8 urban table nicknamed the Blade Runner's Table for it's rather wet look, I'll also soon be painting a 4x6 set of Forgotten City Secret Weapon Miniature tiles. Terrain and buildings are on the docket, as well as a rather important bridge that will play into one of our campaigns in the future. I'll probably post some more pictures later once I do finally get the Squad Photo Station set up, but for now this is a good start. For more details of my DIY please check out my 2017 Entry into the Iron Gauntlet. Also within my banner are links to previous event threads and an apoc battle report between Honda and I!
