Go Me

Once I take care of a remaining piece or two of WizKids paperwork, I'll be approved to carry a loadout of 12 tons of armor, a particle cannon, 6 lasers, two machine guns, and a six-missile launching rack. However, I may not be allowed to appear in public thanks to the lawsuit over Dougram/Macross images.

Nope, that paint job's not mine, just a figure I found on the web after a hasty search.

I have three painted Battlemaster figures... the first two aren't really stellar, being early work of mine... the third I'm really proud of, but it's been heavily modified to represent a 90-ton jump-jetted missile mech with a hatchet. (We called the design "Mazinger" or "Merkava" depending on our audience.)

Was thinking about you this weekend, looking at a boxed Tau army for 40K while Rain took another venue prize. What I was thinking was, "if I fielded this army, how long would it take for ogresama to clean my clock completely?"

*doesn't exactly know what's in the Tau army box set, but has played against them several times*

Tau Battlecry - "NOT THE FACE!! *cringe*"

They have absolutely no problems shooting at you from 30" away with their st5 weapons, but get them into H2H and they just kind of shrivel up and die.
Guardsmen can beat them up.
