more Tau WIP, Broadsides & Farsight re-basing

Started on a couple of broadsides, 1 old style and 1 new style. Black undercoat and then teal for the armour, gunmetal for the mechanical parts / weapons, and orange detailing on the railguns. The teal came out on the camera looking blue, might need to photograph them again in natural daylight.

Washes & highlights & detailing still required, but am happy so far, definitely tabletop ready.




 
 

Commander Farsight re-work
 The other day this very unbalanced mini decided to jump off my table. The base snapped just above the ankle and the right arm broke at the elbow joint. In a way its a good thing as the ankle join seemed like a real weak point on the mini.
Fixed the elbow joint with a pin and superglue, and chopped the foot off the rock piece on the base and glued it to the base of the leg, then drilled out the base of the hip area and inserted a magnet so it can go on a flying base. I actually prefer the mini now its on the flying base.
