MithrilForge Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Well due to being stuck attempting to "work" from home, I have finally caught up on my reading of your plog really nice stuff here, I really dig the Asian themed fireblade, it is reminiscent of early T'au themes when GW first released them, way back in the day Every man and his cyber mastiff could see the market and theme's they were attempting to draw into the fold of 40k I'm so jelly of the tide wall setup ! (really gotta get one of those one day) And the Tuna Looks... thanks for the inspiration to continue with mine! cheers, Mithril elmo 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/335067-wip-kavaal-korstlashais-working-on-a-manta/page/7/#findComment-5507210 Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmo Posted April 26, 2020 Author Share Posted April 26, 2020 Time for the annual "State of the Empire" photo collection of addiction... Tau where the first 40K army I collected after starting off with WHFB. It all started around 2000 and is a collection which has just grown and grown... Most is from starter boxes or eBay rescues. I am not sure of the points value as nearly all of the models have magnetised weapons load outs so it can change depending on how they are armed. You may notice a change in the scheme - the brighter ones are the original scheme but I have since gone a little darker... They will be repainted at some point in the future... Still loads more to paint... :( Focslain, MithrilForge, Dreagher and 4 others 7 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/335067-wip-kavaal-korstlashais-working-on-a-manta/page/7/#findComment-5512649 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Focslain Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 (edited) That is an impressive army. Don't think I'll own one that size, well in Tau. You've done amazing work there.
