Awesomesauce!!!  :D

That's what i love about your approach to gaming rules. You can choose any company figure, include them in the game, set the stats and you're ready to rock n roll cheers for sharing as ever.

thanks Commander, another design gaol fulfilled.  8)

Maybe it is an "old fart" thing, I am just tired of new editions, unusable minis etc.
In addition - there are so many great new minis around these days, it would be a shame not to use them!  ;)

Those OOP Tau models are looking good.

Your paint scheme is tremendous.

Nicccce. 8) Lovin' the highlightin'.

How long is it since stealth suits looked like that? Don't they look like a cross between Slave 1 and Marvin the Paranoid Android from the Hitchhikers movie now?

Looking good Agis.

these suits are still available from GW, in their 'fine cast' plastic resin disaster.
12 pounds for three, if you feel lucky.

I've still got about three fire teams of five in metal, they've only been in the painting queue for the last 10 years or so. They have have just been bumped up a few places.....

These minis are far superior to the current ones. You've done an amazing job with them good work.

Don't know why they ever substituted these models. IIRC something to do with better representation of high armour saves, they said. Well, GW… ::) Tau were my first love in 40k (yes, started that late), and the Ghosts in particular had drawn me in. So it's good to see those "oldies" rendered so nicely – excellent paintjobs! :)

Same for me.
When the 2nd edition of the Tau Codex was coming out, I was playtesting for GW and was really disappointed when the new "MaK look" Stealth Suits were 1st shown.
But GW was adamant, people will like them eventually...  ;)

When you like this figures, you should watch the Pig Iron-Stuff. The same kind of figures, but not for children under 25 years! ;)

Impressionable sot that I am, I just snagged a batch of 6 of these on eBay for a fair price.
Thanks Agis, for extending the painting queue.
