As a nice contrast, having reviewed the Tau Pathfinders, I thought I’d take a look at a heavy hitter and a staple of every Tau army from its original release – the Broadside.

When Ferrus Manus awoke to find himself alone amidst the wilds of Medusa he, as one would expect from a child, was scared and confused. However, unlike a normal child, he was scared and confused because he assumed that he was there because he was weak. Unlike many of his brothers, Ferrus did not seek […]
So after finishing the bases for my Plague Toads I started to think (which is never a good idea), I started collecting my Daemons quite a while ago and didn’t really think much about the bases for them. I just tossed some pain on and whatever type of static grass I had at home at [...]
Just finished them, decided to use 60mm bases for them so they will actually fit on the bases.

Those that read my review of Codex Tau Empire back in April will know that I was rather taken with the grey skinned bastards. So much so that I’m doing a little 1,000 point allies force to go with my two companies of Ultramarines. And those that read my review will also remember that I […]
Yesterday I got a nice package that I’ve been waiting for eagerly, not that the shipping was slow, it was actually quite fast from NZ, containing an old OOP Keeper of Secrets to buff up my Daemons a bit more. I’ve always liked that model and when I found a cheapish one on Ebay [...]

Here is Brother Captain Stern for the Grey Knights. Like Sammael in the previous post I airbrushed two smaller fades on the power sword as supposed to one longer fade. I like the effect it had on the model.
Here is a Relictors version of Sammael paitned up to match the Relictors I have been painting up. I kept to the scheme without adding many more colors to the fig for continuity. I like how the robes turned out and have a lit…
