Tau Devil Fish

I started work a while back on a Tau army and here are some pics of one of my Devilfish.  The Tau army has a nightworld / cities of death camo scheme and I currently have about a 1000 point army.  I will take some pics this weekend of some of the troops and suits and post them.

Cadian 110th 1000 Point Army List

Here is my army list for the Cadian 110th army that I am building.   It is currently set at 1000 points and when I complete all the models I will expand this to 1500 points.  It currently is a balanced shooty army that will give me the flexibility to change out things like the HW lascannons for autocannons so I can add another Chimera to the 2nd Platoon or the Command Squad.  I will probably include an Ogryn squad and have painted one for test purposes.  I will try to post some pics of the Ogryn soon.

Cadian 110th Squad 110 and Valk #7

Here are some pics of my first finished Cadian 110th Squad.  Still working on the camera and pics so please bear with me....

WIP

Here are the Cadians that I am working on.

Cadian 110th Project

I continued work on my Cadian 110th 1000 point army.  Worked on Squad 317 (1 Sgt, 8 Guards and 1 Melta) and prepared 3 alternative HW teams for building.  I currently have 3 HW Lascannon teams and will switch between the LC and Autocannon teams for points.  My current list consists of 1 Cmd Squad, 2 Platoons one with HW, 1 Chimera, 1 Valk, and 1 Russ) and I will post some pics and the full list hopefully tomorrow....

Here is another test run that includes pictures of one of our terrain pieces.

It is a park scene with a monument to the Mechanicus. It is a 12x12 square that fits into a modular Cities of Death Table. We have done several pieces that square up to make city blocks. The statue is from GW's Inquisitor Specialist Game. Here is an article from GW on how to build your own modular table: http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/content/article.jsp?catId=cat410002&categoryId=1100022&section=&aId=6300002.

Iron Warriors Vindicator




This is one of my first posts so this is more of a test.

Here are pics of an Iron Warrior Vindicator that I did for my son. We did a 1500 point + Iron Warrior Army for my son and this is one of my favorite pieces. It was my first Vindicator and it didn't turn out that bad. This adds to my son's vehicle list of 2 Rhinos, 1 Predator, 1 Land Raider and 1 Defiler. I will post some more pics soon.

As for the pics, please excuse the mediocre pics, I am learning the ins and outs of picture taking and will hopefully improve over time....
