Terrain and Foam Cutting

I received my hot foam cutting tool and got to using it as soon as I could. Our group at my old office really needs terrain, and I'm more than happy to spend some time making it. This article will be mostly about the terrain, but I'd also like to point out that it's a new Fire Warrior team there that I painted. So they'll help show case it. I know they're not hot women laying on shiny cars like most show case models, but hey! They're sleek and fancy alien men! That has to count for something? Right?

Devil Fish and Fire Warriors

I tried helping the troop painting process this time around, by painting something fun as well as troops in the same go. They do after all, have the same color scheme. So I assumed it would be a fairly ok thing to do, and so I did, and it was.

Tau Tank

Finished this one now, it was sort of the reward for having finished the entire Tau army box as well as 5 suits. I now have a heavy vehicle to add to my lists where I see fit. Hopefully he'll be useful. I ran into a few disappointing blunders with this guy, mostly with assembly and especially with priming. I've looked up online videos of how to use Army Painter, and I'll give those a try. If they fail, I'm never using army painter again and I'll suffer with black primer from GW I guess. We'll see. I'm torn... I love how the Desert Yellow Primer saves me time, but it's destroyed more models than I care to mention.
