Tau Piranha



It has been a while since I posted anything, life has been pretty busy. However I was able to complete a Tau Piranha for a painting contest at the local gaming store; ALL ABOUT GAMES - As usual there are several things I don't like about the piece (regarding my painting), but overall I like it. I was happy when it was moved from Forgeworld to Games-Workshop.

As far using it in a game, I envision this Piranha hanging on the edge of the battlefield until it can unload it's seeker missiles. Once it has done that, rushing it for an attack on armor or to contest an objective.

Tau- Working List

When I began to collect and paint TAU, I really didn't have an plan. I just collected the cool figures and tanks. So after a couple of weeks searching forums, I have come up with this working list with the models I already own.
