That thing looks flippin' huge. A nice job, but I have to admit I'd like to see the same Hammerhead camo pattern on this guy too.

It needs a Fire Warrior beside it, for scale! grin

very nice!
while i agree the hammerhead camo looks awsome, i wonder why so many people use this "default desert pattern" on their tau armies?

Mardaddy21 Apr 2013 2:15 p.m. PST

I was thinking maybe since that seems to be a quasi-official scheme, it helps maintain resale value if they ever drop the army?

Your blog is very nice! especially the special effects!

I have this problem with their very small flimsy legs and after my friend broke off a couple of Crisis suits…I am not sure…

Textbook colour schemes are good in case fickle minded people wants to sell them, but its good too!

Likely because it looks good, tho it should be noted it is the home/fleet uniform of the Tau homeworld and its Sept not just some random theatre specific scheme.

I think Mardaddy is right. A friend who has had a number of 40k armies and who sells them when he tires of them says he goes by the codex exactly for that reason: to maintain resale value.

Myself, I'd rather make the army my own, but different strokes for different folks.

Riptide? Shouldn't it be called Sailor Moon or Bubble Gum or similar?

Riptide sounds like a decepticon name, call the lawyers IP infringement.
