WIP: Tau Allies and first work with InstaMold

Well I caved in and started to make me some Tau Allies for my Orks.. (For the Greater Waaagh)

I was planning to field the following TAU allies.

• Suit Commander
• 2 Honor Crisis Suits
• Riptide --> hey wouldn't use this X)
• Firewarriors
• Skyray

Had a bit of a problem with the Skyray and I lost the sensor bit for the turret when I was cleaning it on the balcony. A wrong move and poof it went over the ledge..(phat Effing fingers). Fortunately I had another Skyray so still had that same bit .Well necessity is the mother of invention so out came the InstaMold.

After having this for months I finally brought it out and tried it and I was impressed with how relatively easy it was. I did use Epo-Wood putty for this which is the best putty really because this thing can be easily cut but is durable.

A friend of mine was gracious enough to prime and base coat my Tau Ally figs for me..  no way was I going to finish painting them all in time for the GT.. So now all I need to do is highlight them.

Well I got less than a month now to finish all of it .. :)

PAINTING: FINALLY SOMETHING FINISHED - Grot Battery Crew A done

And after a long long time.. I finally finished me some Converted (ie replaced square with circle bases and removed the bows and arrows) Grot Crew for my Big Gunz.
Just straight up used some extra Night Goblin boyz. I like the robes for them really, maybe they are part of the Ork Mekanikus team). Still got one more Grot Crew to finish painting.. then off to doing the Shokk Attak Gun.
