Twosoc's Tau wip.

[Twosoc]

In my ever expanding quest to destroy Mike's sister of Battle, I bring you my latest venture.
I aim to have most of my squads based in devilfish, to fit in with the fluff I came up with of them being a fast moving group relentlessly pursuing Mikes' Sisters as they retreat from a failed strike on their homeworld. Gamewise, devilfish don't really do much so I may drop them.
Here's the first of the finished ones.

You really think you have a chance at that?

Paul's been trying for years and hasn't managed that yet

[Twosoc]

So far I'm two for two with my tau, so much so Paul went out and bought some for himself.

[War Griffon]

Paul's had Tau for years or did his wife kidnap them?

Or was it more he bought!

its probably about a year ago, my 40k progress has been glacial recently. These were all rescues from a lad in the shop they were originally painted thickly in orange, and needed a lot of work to salvage them. Plus they've sat in my case for a bout six months so I thought I'd better get to work on them.
Here's a group shot of the tanks, I left the hatches off a few of them so I can use them as skyrays and hammerheads, plus the ion cannon is loose so it and the railgun can be switched out.

Cool. I like these, have always wanted to paint some up. Good job on them.

There's a nice pitted and weathered feel to these guys that I like. It'll be a very good looking army when you get it all done.

[Twosoc]

Thanks, I've a long way to go unfortunately, my battlesuits are a bit of a mess, there's bits missing that I can't even source on ebay like the little drones for the ends of the skyray, and trurret hatches etc.

[Noddwyr]

The warstore has a bunch of bits and it looks like their skyray bizx thing has a drone. Might be worth checking out: http://www.thewarstore.com/TauEmpireBitz.html

EDIT Not sure if they ship to the UK, but I found that with a quick google search of "tau bits" so there might be something similar here.

Oooo found one in the UK: http://www.bitzbox.co.uk/index.php?cPath=21_29 however they dont appear to have skyray bits.
And one more: http://www.letthedicedecide.co.uk/ca...lphabeticalAsc
For that one, the box links dont seem to work but there are photos of bits on the bottom so have a look through those.

Didn't GW do an upgrade sprue for the Tau vehicles?
Command bits





Or the Hammerhead weapon pack



There is also the shield drone set
