This has been sitting on the back burner for a bit while I was focusing on the Harlequins, but I finally did get around to magnetizing it. Just the main armaments are have magnets so it can switch between the railgun and heavy missile system.

The next step in the Shadowsun squad. Commander Shadowsun herself and drones. I increased the brightness of the purple and put a bit more red into the trim. Since this is the reverse scheme of the rest of the army, the Broadside is going to be mainly orange with purple trim.
This is my first time painting her new scuplt. And I must say, Shadowsun has come a long way from her pewter origins. She looks so cool!

We have a small commission to change things up between doing many dozens of diamonds. Here is a WIP of Commander Shadowsun and her drone buddies. The regular scheme for this army is ochre/orange as the primary and purple as the secondary. But, as is tradition with Sahdowsun, I am doing the purple as the primary colour instead.
At first, I was going for a flatter ochre colour, but the shading lended itself to a more NMM look, so I went with it. I think I will work on the purple highlighting a bit more. I want to brighten it further so the blue shading I did on her isn’t so lost.

The Shiny Tau are complete. Lots of infantry and drones. This time we have stealthsuits and a Ghostkeel. Looking good!

Like the smaller stealthsuits, the Ghostkeel is also in active camo, prancing through snow. This model does have a cockpit that can open and its weapons are magnetized.

Starting off this army expansion with a few different units. A squad of Fire Warriors with a couple support turrets, Sniper drones, and some weapons.
Like last time, all the purple and blue sections of the scheme have been gone over with a gloss coat. The contrast between the shiny and matte areas helps to make the different materials pop.

A nice big Riptide with bits from Forgeworld to round out the World Eaters. A few drones and a tank hatch were from the previous batch of Tau that I couldn’t find in the box.

Finally finished these months after buying them. The pathfinders kit is infinitely better than what they used to be as metal models, good decision. The sprues are stuffed full of pieces to make both sets of Rail Rifles and Ion Rifles, and make different drones. The Recon drone is fantastic too, it fits in a Devilfish hatch hole, neat!
