Hey guys,

http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j188/dave38x/40k/P7251097.jpg
Tau Auxiliaries Destroyer Tank Hunter - this thing will have a heavy railgun

I have a few other projects in the pipeline, however im going to scotland tomorrow so doubt ill be able to get images up etc...

What do you guys think so far?

@Faultie - i used MIG Pigments, they are essentially powdered pigment that you combine with different bases to get mud, dust, rust effects etc.

[Snarf]

WOW! I bow down befor your painting skills... do you do comission work?

[daggitkiller]

Love it all. The Tau Russ is great and the Wraithlord is awesome in its simplicity. I am a big fan of the "this is going to hurt you a lot" varirty of poses.

[Slann]

looking awesome nice stuff , looking foward to seeing more

[Snarf]

Have to just Add that i realy like the riders on the Hammerhead. I never saw them the first time. So once again well painted.

[Steakhouse]

That Pathfinder sniper ghuillie suit is a slick bit of modeling. How did you do it?

[Lord Inquisitor]

Dude, I am basically speechless. That stuff is amazing. All of it, just wow.

[mikedtheartist]

Do you use an airbrush for your weathering on your tau vehicles? I love the look of them. they are detailed, but not to the point of having too much to look at. Wonderful work.

[ChapterMaster2]

I have to say those are the best Tau tanks I have ever seen in my life. They make my tanks look like a pile of dead Orks stepped on by a Titan and then having exterminatus called down on them. I wish I could kidnap you and tie you up in my basement painting all of my models. But seriously, great work and I can't wait to see more of your work, especially more Tau stuff :)

[ThePov]

LOVE it all, especially the Tau Auxilaries. Always found them to fun.

And that BFG battleship is pure Space-pr0n, dude. I love it.

[Le Scriv]

Love. That. Sniper. :)

You've really pulled that off. The base really seals the deal for me.

[wittdooley]

Love it man! I'd also like the 411 (if you're willing) on the ghillie suit! Looks really slick.

[Sheldog]

"Lord of the Hunt" did it for me. I think I stared at it for 10 min drooling.

[CrusherJoe]

Holy moley this thread is pure modeling pr0n...and I mean that in the best way possible!

[Dave38x]

WOW! I bow down befor your painting skills... do you do comission work?
Im certainly amenable to doing commission work for people if they want it doing yes,

Im on holiday for the next week (and have been for the last week) however i have a few good ideas for when i get back, including scratchbuilding more BFG ships :)

Im also gonna finish the auxiliiaries destroyer that im working on :)

[Dave38x]

well ive been doing a bit more work no that im back from scotland, got some rather complex ideas involving casting scratchbuilds, but so far ive got this:

Continuing work on an old conversion ive been working on, will post up pics of the finished sections tomorrow:

[ThePov]

I'm intrigued... what were you thinking these would represent?

[Dave38x]

Well the escort im building is going to be a firestorm class escort, i have already built a cobra and a sword, and i am going to cast them in resin to make myself a fleet of slightly different ships :)

the battleship is just an apocalypse class battleship :)

[Dave38x]

Hey guys, as promised here are the other BFG models ive scratchbuilt:

Cobra:

[Dave38x]

http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j188/dave38x/40k/P8170515.jpg

It needs oil washes, lights, OSL and a few other things

[Farsight]

It's Tau models like that that made me what them in the first place. Looking at my collection after seeing yours makes me feel I let them down.

[Dave38x]

Hey guys, just a small update on the valk:

[deadmilkman]

Awesome weathering! Is that sponged on, or a stabbing motion with a brush?

Fantastic work.

Wes

[Dave38x]

Sponge, really would take far too long with a brush :P

[Dave38x]

Well i guess i kinda neglected this thread :/

I finished a 2000 point list for the auxiliaries armoured company:

Being a tau auxiliaries baneblade :)

[Fantomex]

Damn. That is some fine work. Thankyou for resurrecting this thread! I just don't know where to begin..:D

[bb-dawg]

That is really some superb work! Where do you find the time?

[JxKxR]

Oh my god that sniper and Hammerhead with the guys sitting on it!!! You sir are something else.

[LemanRussCommander]

I might have missed it earlier but how'd you do the ghillie suit on the sniper?

[Porty1119]

*sobs*

Brings a tear to me eye...

How did you do the ERA? That...looks...AWESOME!!!! :D
