Hi all,

I have decided to not only crack on with the Novamarines, but decided they needed a suitable enemy, the Tau empire seemed a good choice, what with all the excellent proxy models about these days

So far I have painted up 1000pts, and had my first game, where the Tau were obliterated by the Noble Novamarines!

Anyway, the Tau will bounce back...heres some pics.



Original test base. The missile drone is a spare weapons pod fron a Baku APC (onslaught miniatures)



Mechanised fire warrior detachment.



Closer look at the stand in Devilfish, (Baku APC, Onslaught Minis) I converted one to have a commander poking his head out for a look through his binos....



Crisis Battlesuits, with attached Shas'el Commander.



Piranha recon craft. (DRM Kraytonian skimmers).



Tetra Recon craft (DRM Kraytonian skimmers).



Recon skimmer detachment



Broadside battlesuit Detachment.



1000 Points done!

The plan with these is to get another 1000 points done by the end of the year, hopefully ill get more than that done, however im still chipping away at the Novamarines too.

Updates soon, thanks for looking.

Steve

Gee those OM tanks work well as Devilfish! I love the fact the minis for the Tetras and Piranhas actually have a fishy look to them as well!

Nice colour scheme too Yorkie

MMmmmmmmm smells like awesomesauce!
Never noticed those DRM skimmers. Great fit!

The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed.

Great looking battleforce sir. I like the desert bases too what colours did you use on them stands please?

The desert bases, basecoat decoart tan, then a light drybrush of Anitas sand. Both cheap craft paint.

Really nice. Red and white is a striking color scheme. Those Onslaught minis look absolutely great.

you've done a great job with these! excited to see more

I had planned on using those DRM skimmers a while back, and they look like they're a perfect fit, especially with the colour scheme you've chosen and executed so well! kudos!!
