The Arks of Omen series continues with the fourth book Farsight, in which the legendary T’au renegade faces disaster during the vicious War of Dakka.

Here's the Farsight link. Also has a nice boarding patrol set.

[Bev'an]

That is a sweet model 

[Jscarlos18]

Damn, the updated model looks awesome. Cool to see his face without helmet in the book's cover.

[Matrindur]

Why does Farsight have the Dark Angel hexagrammaton on his arm?

[Firedrake Cordova]

I'm sure T'au players will be happy - the new Farisght model is certainly striking!  

 

Personally, I rather enjoyed the video - the art style felt different to the normal GW videos.

Slipped on some ice and fell, and once he recovered from his fall it was just there...

[acrozatarim]

Ooh, a mention of Nazdreg! I haven't followed the ork codices since I had one in 2nd edition - has Nazdreg been mentioned in any of the recent ones?

I'd love to see him come back as a special character with a cool model to rival Ghaz's.

[Borbarad]

Farsight makes the old tau suits look terrible next to him

[Gamiel]

 

At 0:40, that's the same symbol, as the one used for the Hexagarammaton, right?

 

EDIT: Ninjad

I take it that pathfinder/firewarriors do not come with farsight enclave marking shoulder pads?

Weren´t those resin for longest time?

[BLACK BLΠFLY]

They really knocked it out of the park !!

[tzeentch9]

Nice enough model, bit too curvy armour for me though, prefer the boxy look

[m_r_parker]

So they're recalling doubling down with the feudal Japan / Samurai theme with this new model. Perhaps the cherry blossom trees are a little too much here.

It's a good sculpt, but what i'm now doing is comparing this to the Crisis Suits, and boy are they now showing their age...

[StrangerOrders]

Damn, I am actually wanting to buy a Tau model... what has the world come to?

 

Jokes aside, its a gorgeous sculpt. Really am tempted to buy it on its own as a painting project and shelf piece. Might be inclined to expand to a full force if future Tau releases have this flavor...

Hopefully means they get an update!

[Xirix]

Pretty nice, I hope he's modular enough to have him not in that static on-top-of-a-rock pose though, would be silly if he was less posable than the standard Crisis Suits.

[Sergeant Centurion]

Maybe i must start a Tau army. maybe. 

[Chapter Master Valrak]

4th book title is confirmed...you know what that means 

[Magos Takatus]

That sculpt is fantastic as far as I am concerned. I collect Blood Axe Orks and I'm more interested in Farsight than Snikrot. 

[Evil Eye]

The model itself is really rather good. The base is a touch excessive though. Tactical rocks are one thing, but tactical cherry trees?

[gideon stargreave]

Like a lot of people here this light convince me to buy some tau. The box is exactly what I think of when I think of tau, and as a painter and converter rather than a player, I'd never need anything else

[Legionary Pallas]

I smell a Commander Khornesight kitbash in my future...

[Sete]

Great looking model.

As one that liked the original concept that T'au was a coalition of different species (with the tau as most equal) do I find that sad to hear since there is only one species reprcented in that box.
