At last I have this kit available, that is an upgrade of a model I created some time ago. I finished some new components like 3 new bare heads, 3 new diferents heads with helmet and 3 new sets of arms. Most of them are interchangeable as you can see in the pictures. I hope you like it.
If you are interested in obtaining a cast of this kit, please let me know by sending an email at papahminis@gmail.com and ask for more details with no compromise.
This "Alien Commander" kit is designed as a multipart kit, casted in white metal and resin. Each kit includes some common parts, such as torso, backpack, shoulder pad, sword, ponytail, antenna and 40mm round base. You can choose 1 head from the 7 options available. And 4 parts from arms sets, that you can choose freely from between any of the 4 basic arms sets.
It is possible to assemble a good number of combinations just by using different heads and arms sets alone. You can use the ones shown in the following pictures as a guide to design yours (check the list of components at the bottom of the image).

Wow cool stuff - these coupled with some imperial
Guard traitors would make for an interesting force. Would love to see some painted examples!

Me too!! Here you have a few of them painted by friends, they are all "Alien Commander 1.0" combination (BH4 + Arms Set n.4). You have a few more painted models in the following LINK (https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=117dae163fa2a588#cid=117DAE163FA2A588&id=117DAE163FA2A588!1383).

are mine; you're welcome to use 'em but a link to The Conclave'd be nice :)
you should look at some other castes (http://buildyourimagination.co.uk/minis/files/tau_sculpts.JPG) (i'd love an Earth Caste! :) )
Thanks for your pics, sorry for not posting them here first. Good way of solving the pose to have the carbine on the right hand.
About some other castes, I don't see it coming any time soon. I have a lot of 30-35mm personal stuff asking for attention in my workbench.
Cheers
They look great!
I'd be careful about selling them though. They are damned-near perfect versions of Tau, and GW has a history of being completely arse-orificish when it comes to their IP....
thankfully the 54mm market is quite small and they aren't advertised everywhere :)
bought mine.. quite a while ago :lol:
Nice products! Congrats! ;)
Cheers,
Bernhard
lovely work Papah, nice to see some variation added :)
Thanks for your comments! ;)
Ah this is pretty fantastic. I purchased a Commander V 1.0 some time ago and I am just building it now, and my conversion is similar to some of the new options. When I get mine fully assembled and base coated I will post some pictures.
They are truly amazing. Awesometastic work. YNWA
Hello!
I recently digitally painted some pictures of some of the assembly options of this kit so you can have a better idea of what can be achived once they get a paintjob. Hope you like them!
Cheers
