Tau Cadre Commission Part 3 - Crisis Suits and Broadsides

Alright so here is the last part of this amazingly large project, the Crisis suits. Now none of the models have weapons because they are all magnetic and I didn't put them on when I took the photos but i will try to up load them to show you what they look like, nothing fancy, but just in case you are curious as to how they turned out. All of the suits have been converted with some of the suits engine packs being heavily converted. As you can see from some of the photos the middles of the packs were removed and the chutes were put together and then marine jump packs chutes were added to the sides, which looks amazing. I did not come up with this idea but was

Now we are on to part 2 of 3 of this amazing Tau army I was so lucky enough to convert, build and paint. Theses are troops choices for this army, there are 24 fire warriors and 9 pathfinders, as shown in the pictures above. Now the thing was that the pathfinders were quite simple to convert, well its nothing crazy, but I had to remove to of the metal heads and replace them with actual heads without helmets.

Well a while back I got a commission for a large tau force with a lot of conversions. And when I say a lot, I mean A LOT! Almost every vehicle battle suit and soldier had to either have magnets added to it or needed to be reposed. Most of it was a blast to do and I learned a lot about magnets. But you don't want to hear about that you want to hear about the first part of this army, the vehicles. Well if you read this and not just look at the pictures then I will tell you that I had to paint 3 piranhas, 3 devil fish and 2 hammer heads. Most them were put together straight forward but some of them need a little more work then normal. For example, the hammerheads needed to be able to swap out there weapons for different setup and thus magnets needed to be used. Now figuring out the magnets for the big weapons like the rail guns that
