Title: Tau Android Painted


GreyDeath - April 24, 2005 03:45 AM (GMT)
Well its a little dark need to set the new Hobby Room up with some good lighting for taking photos at night.

But here you go, oh by the way it was hard to pick a color to go with an Android.
He needed to look like a robot
He needed to not look like a conversion
He needed to still look Tau
So it wasn't easy to come up with what I wanted but I think I am happy with everything but the face.

Pepper wanted gold so she got it.
But not shure I couldn't make up my mind so I let her pick


But here you go

Well now what do you think of him and how he turned out?

haha, thats a neat model. I like how you painted the gun, spiffy.

Very nice, that will turn heads for sure! ^_^

GreyDeath - April 24, 2005 05:06 AM (GMT)
Oh thanks guys.

Ya it was sort of a urban camo look on the gun. ^_^

Thanks

:D

very nice great conversion such conversions on small figures are difficult the paint job really makes it and it really does look like an android! B)

Brother Etheren - April 24, 2005 07:15 AM (GMT)
I'm sure it's C3P0, nice job on the color scheme. I like it alot.

shas'la Dre'Kai - April 24, 2005 10:14 AM (GMT)
I think it looks really good - for some reason, the android reminds me of I, robot, but only in that the face is a tau face, but it's not a face you'd see on a living tau...
Anyway, it looks good. Well done.

IRONMAN LIVES!

( more infos on page 2 )

Eye-witness reports: "I've seen him at GreyDeath's Hobby Room"
When asked Greydeath ( aka as Count Converter, Master-Maker and Coming-Up Golden Deamon Winner ) denied everything: "No Comment."
Our super-snoop found a hint in of of greydeath's internet posts: "... Pepper wanted gold ..."
--> Is Salt `N`Pepper involved? Is IRONMAN held hostage at greyDeath's Hobby Room? Is Pepper the ( unknown ) daughter of Goldfinger? And where do the Tau fit in?

Read the full story here on AMAZING NEWS - everything is real!



;)


I like it, although I do not think that such an android would be good at the battlefield. maybe for targetting practices ( can be seen over a great distance ).

But really: does none of you be reminded on the legendary IRONMAN ( his famous and classic suit ) when looking at him?

Nice work. Can't wait to see Spider-Man. :P

Ethereal Shas - April 24, 2005 12:12 PM (GMT)
Hmm, that paintjob suits the model really well. and i always love a gold and red combo, so well done Pepper! Its really like the ofspring of a tau father and a necron (mother?) :P well done!

Shas

That's a really sweet conversion there GreyDeath.

One thing that I don't get though... what DO Tau need with a protocol droid anyways?

And Dloo'al, yes I too thought of Iron Man because of the colour scheme.

Fio'la Bork'an - April 24, 2005 05:34 PM (GMT)
Very cool GD!! Kudos to Pepper for the color choice, it looks great.

And yes...it does have an Iron Man look to it, but i think it still looks unique!!

GreyDeath - April 24, 2005 06:17 PM (GMT)
Where to begin, oh where to begin?

Dloo'al that story is funny and I love that you have a good since of hummer and make up things like that.
I love to read your posts.

No they wount be very good on the battle field there to replace the Gue'vesa so there supposed to only be ok.
So I just thought this is a way better looking and better way and unique way of adding Gue'vesa to your army.

shas'la Dre'Kai,
Thanks
I really like the little guy. Oh and I robot is cool.
Oh and his face is not Tau but a converted Necron skull to look Tau.
Not a bad likeness if I say so?
ANd thanks for the feedback.

And ya I hadn't thought of it letting Pepper pick the colors and all but the older Iron Man is just like him.

Cool I made Iron Man for Tau.
Now Spider Man for Eldar?

I will let her know she will be happy to hear she was right. ;)
And thanks for the kind words.


Hard Rain Falling,
Thanks man yes what you say is true and I worry that it will come to gether at all and look cool because you are dealing with such a single fig and small fig at that.
Thanks.


Vui Geno'shava,

:)

Nice model! I have to admitt, the whole model looks really good. I was questioning the feet, but it turned out really good. The gold is a great touch. Keep it up!

Shas'ral'ta - April 24, 2005 07:08 PM (GMT)

GreyDeath - April 25, 2005 05:27 AM (GMT)

Yes I believe I will.

I will give 8 of them a low powered pulse carbine.
I conversion of the pulse carbine with no grenade launcher underneath it and it will have the stats of the lasgun.

Then I will make two of them with actual pulse carbines with grenade launchers.
So a total squad of 10.

This way its an exact squad of Gue'vesa and I can use them in a game.

How does that sound?

Cool I hope?


and dont worry about the nice words thats what this site is all about.
Everyone is very nice and friendly and we try to help one another out on here.
So just enjoy yourself.

^_^

Nifty, C3PO meets the Tau, though I suspect this lad will turn the golden boy into scrap metal quickly.

Thinking about using the Gue'la rules, the Imperial reaction could be remade as a "Cleanse the abomination to the machine god' ideal.

Either way, nice work my man. :D

Hey man did I forget to mention how great it is to see you again? ^_^

Still have your artwork in my sig. Nice.
would love to see some more? Hint hint?

You know I was thinking about the hole guard thing and ya the imperium would flip out over the machine god and all.
So thats a good fluff piece to change it to.
Nice one thanks.

Glad to see you again and thanks for the kind words.
