Warhammer 40k Tau Kill Team

kt-pf-promo1

So I’ve begun work on Tau, I know, Shocker!

This group of models will be a strike team of individuals, kitted out in whatever they damn well please. Essentially think a group of monats brought together (and all the pyschological issues that entails) and given free reign across the plethora of Tau wargear.

Yeah, ..this should be fun.

So beginning from the first hooves on the ground, the Pathfinders, at this stage they’re 90% done – small touches of greenstuff yet to go.

I’ve begun work on a veteran shas’vre who has a penchant for overcharging his Ion Rifle whenever the chance provides. He received greivous wounds to the left side of his body, losing a leg and eye to tyrannic bio-acid and maw. Ever since, his aggression levels have been off the chart and he has kept his bionics to remind him never to give ground.

More often than not, when spotting for the QRF team, he’ll engage immediately with the Ion Rifle.

Overall the model is posed to be striding forward, his stance committed and the Ion Rifle aimed decisively. He’s walking heavy firepower across whatever hapless xeno decided to cross his path that rotaa.

kt-pf-5The Shadow Warrior cape is excellent due to the twin strap that rides over the cape – which allowed a convincing application of his ‘backup’ pulse rifle. I am yet to decide on what Aerial he will use.

Enter one aspect of my modelling ahead – I’ll be using bionics; as I do not feel limb grafting at the frontlines or in far off operations as an immediately feasible occurence due to down time and recovery. Cybernetics provide a measure of simplicity and functionality that I imagine, a firewarrior would appreciate.

Pathfinder two. Almost a polar opposite. This warrior has a far more pensive pose. He is observing and clearly not showing intent to engage. Suffice to say, his cloak is pulled aside, ready for action.

I’ll be adding another Pathfinder and then beginning to work through the Firewarriors proper. Then some stealth suits and finally a couple of battlesuits.

Should be fun indeed.

 

Thanks for reading,
