A project of Epic dimensions: Tau army in 6mm

[Sgt. Scream]

Its a 25mm base they are sitting on. If that helps?

Nice work.

I think camo on the tanks only would look good (one or two colours).

[OSHIROmodels]

Very good 

cheers

Yes, thanks! Bigger than I thought, then. Umh... But not big enough enough to convert them into grav (moped) bikes... perhaps drones for my not-cylons?
More thought must be put into this.

Regarding camo, I wouldn't bother, to be honest. I think these APCs look brilliant without it; and tau are generally painted in bold colours. But in the end it's all a matter of taste.

"Crisis" battle suit team


First test piece for my battle suit teams

Ok, taking the time that passed since my last post, others would by now probably have finshed the entire formation or more. 

But spare time to paint is something that I would really need more of. This is my first test piece of a unit of "Crisis" battle suits, again produced by Onslaught Miniatures.

What do you guys think?

[von Lucky]

Good at picking out the detail - and never mind the time it takes. Painting 6mm sci-fi is a blue-chip wargaming investment (as in it'll have long term use).

Looks great. Man I love Onslaughts 6mm stuff. 

[Agis]

Getting REALLY great!

[The_Baron]

Wow love the Onslaught stuff! Most of their pictures are renders (which don't always translate into what they really look like), but you have completely sold me on them. Excellent work!

[Sgt. Scream]

After way too much time since the last post here is the completed Crisis Suit Cadre:


5 units of Battle Suits, one upgrade to a Shas'el Commander (for a total of six), Shas'O Supreme Commander up front.


Shas'O (haven't come up with a good name yet - any suggestions?)


The whole units is made with Onslaught Miniatures, except the two commander's shield drones which are Forgeworld's.


The Tau lettering on the back banners is made with parts from old WH40K decals sheets.


I probably spent too much time on these tiny figures, but I am always satisfied when it paid off ;-)


The amount of detail that Onslaught has put on the miniatures is just stunning. I love them.


The Shas'el Commander, leading the Battle Suit Cadre.


Given the close combat weapon that he was modelled with, it probably also could be used for Commander Farsight - but I have no intentions to do so.

[The_Baron]

Whoah they are totally cool. It is so good that you can now put together a Tau army in epic affordably again

[Sgt. Scream]

I am alive. ;-) Yes, its been a while. Nonetheless work continues on my 6mm Tau army.

Some WIP shots of Forgeworld's Tau Tetra Scout Speeders.

I still need to add the final highlights, squad markings and sensor colours.

[Agis]

As good as ever! 

[sean_68333]

Great stuff.  I love these models and you have done a great job painting them.

I look forward to seeing more.

Lovely, lovely work! Well done!
