Sitnams WIP Shop - Gue'vesa

The more I look at it, the more I think there's an element of optical illusion in there, due to a combination of the hunched forward running pose, and the shape of the helmet creating a false impression. I think if the head is "low", you're probably only talking about 0.25mm or so.

Love the idea behind the conversion, I think i can kind of see what others have said, but it does look to me like he's just hunched over, trying not to get his head blown off

Nice work with the contrast paints and I’m a huge fan of the Tzeentchian infantry kitbashes.

Appreciate it, I loved how they came out. I'm tempted to do a second squad once I clear up my backlog.

 

Speaking of my backlog, I finished my Gue'vesa kitbash:

 

 

I'll hold off on painting these guys until March when the Knives in the Shadows start. Now I just got to figure out the Dal'lyth paint scheme

They look really good - the helmets do really make them look distinct, even with the tau weapon ends, chest and shoulder plate.

 

What's with the actual Tau there?  Just for comparison?  BTW, not sure if its just the photo, but the gun on the guy next to him looks... odd, as if it doesn't line up straight.

I think it's the angle of the figure? I'm sure that's the one that was discussed further up, running with his head down. If the base was rotated slightly it would make a difference.

The Fire Warrior will be like a tactical liason. These guys are part of an  expedition with only a limited number of T'au, so Gue'vesa squads take the role of Fire Warriors, with most of the Fire Caste forces being Crisis and tank cadres. The few actual Fire Warriors attach to Gue'vesa squads, taking up a variety of roles from  Drone operators to Squad leader, depending on rank and experience

 

Your right about that one guys gun. I don't think I flattened it out enough. I snapped off the T'au end and re-filed it, I think it looks a little better. I'm hoping a paint job will also help blend the two weapons parts together

That one is actually back on the far right. Similar poses though
