Triszin's Tau log: Titanfall Themed, Shadowsun done

[Guest Triszin]

Now I’ve seen your inspiration I can see you’re doing a great job of recreating those suits!

 

Did you pledge them for the ETL?

I pledged a ghost keel (scorch), a riptide ( legion), and a fireblade and a few drones

[Guest Triszin]

need to take some good pictures of northstar, will do that this weekend, but in the mean time.

 

here's my work on my riptide: Legion so far

 

 

magentized his hands

Great job! Really like the dynamic pose.

[MithrilForge]

Well done Man! it's finally finished 

it looks suitably Epic! a real fine piece of work,you should be proud...but don't rest on those Laurels oh no! The Riptide is calling 

 

Cheers, Mithril

I have acquired 15 xv8 crisis suits.

 

o.o

lol!!! ......

While I don't understand the theme, there's a cool almost graphic art styling to them, and they say to me that they have seen their share of T'au and Gue'la blood spilled on the battle field. You've built something quite unique there (at least I've never seen any other Tau conversions like these)!

[Guest Triszin]

Planning 2 simple conversions for 2 riptides I got. Replacing their head with a Drone from their kit, but have to cut/position create stuff so it look appropriate.

 

like its part of their armor. hard to explain, but once I get one done should be simple enough.

[Guest Triszin]

went a bit heavier than I wanted on the dry brushing for this xv25.

 

gonna reel it way in for the others. Otherwise I like ti

I'm out of like so feel free to see this as an appreciation post. :P

[Guest Triszin]

realized I put my Riptide on the wrong base. So I'm going to cut up the base I made and put him on the correct one. -.-

[Bryan Blaire]

I actually like the dry-brush - it adds something to the Stealth Suit, like it blends better into the base.

[Guest Triszin]

finished the sergeant

 

working on the third

 

[Guest Triszin]

another done!

 

[Bryan Blaire]

I like 'em! The burst cannons almost look like a cool variant of an airburst frag projector.

 

Are you going to drill their barrels out?

Going forward I am, but I won't be drilling these out

I got the idea looking at the Tau'unar titan thing.

 

I really liked the triple cannon look on its back and realized, in squads of 3, smaller units can give off a similar visual aesthetic

PIP on scorch!

 

I plug away from time to time. I never stop a project. I just work slow sometimes

Hey, I'm right there with you on painting projects! Looking good!

 

How are you doing the blue glow effect?

[Guest Triszin]

Hey, I'm right there with you on painting projects! Looking good!

 

How are you doing the blue glow effect?

its 2 colors,

 

1. watered down Baharroth blue, then a few layers going inward of it.

2. source + edge around source in baharroth blue

3. 30/70, then 50/50 baharoth blue and white scar white.  going inward

4. white scar in the dead center of the lightsource

[MithrilForge]

Scorch is coming along very well indeed , gives me a pang for going back to titanfall... but i'd get monstered probably   oh well there's always 40K 

 

well done bro!!

 

cheers, Mithril

Triszin I love your models! These conversions are amazing and I wish I hadn't glued the burst cannons on my stealth suits because that little space swap really makes the suit look that much better!
