El'Areos

Well, talk about a long time in the making. Still he's finished now. El'Areos, who uses the rule for Farsight. Mostly this was just a for fun project, I doubt I'll use him much in battle if at all, because he does not suit my style of play, but I wanted to do a more unusual Crisis suit that was still game legal.

As you can probably see, the head of El'Areos is heavily influenced by Briareos Hecatonchires, because I like him, but I kept it Tau looking rather than try to replicate Briareos exactly.

The sword, as I have mentioned elsewhere is heavily influenced by Micheal Turner's Fathom, an energy blade projected in the hilt up the back rail, however when painting I could never get it looking how I imagined it in my head and eventually gave up and went for a more simple paint job that wasn't amazing, but looked good enough that it didn't let down the rest of the model which I am rather proud of.
