Title: A Pathfinder of the blue variety (and his pals)
Post by: Zirone on August 24, 2012, 02:59:43 PM
Hi,

After a long break from Inquisitor my gaming group decided to we'd blow the dust off our old warbands and make some new models.

My obsession with anything Tau has been going since I first saw them released in 40K, so when it came to playing Inquisitor again I decided to strip the paint off a Tau figure i acquired ages ago and do some work to him.

Background-wise i haven't got anything for him except that he's currently tracking down an Inquisitor that wants to unleash a superweapon that threatens to cripple the Tau Empire.

Enough rambling on from me, here he is:

Although I must confess that the tau are a part of the universe that I really dislike, this model is some redemption for them. It looks immensely good and quite a bit grimmer than the usual tau look.

Love it!  I am even more inspired to work on my Tau warband now....as soon as the models arrive.

nice paintjob and conversions there.
I do like the original sculpt, but it's certainly a bit bland - you've fixed that with your additions.

Very Nice!  You acquired it you say?  Do you have any pics of it before? 

As Dolnikan said, Grim is good.   ;D

Just got my minis from Papah today--he's still in business, and the models are slick.  This pathfinder gives me a good idea on how to convert my own stuff into a bodyguard for a water caste trader that has frequent dealings with Eastern Fringe Rogue Traders.
