Somehow, sneak previewing these two on our Whatsapp group chat turned into an extended Sound of Music pun riff.

| Far - a long long way to strike |
Commission work for Kasfunatu, as usual for my Tau efforts. First up, we've got Commander Farsight and his spiffy new model.

| Tau, do you solve a problem like Maria? |
Lovely stuff, but super-fragile ankles! Carrying him over the North Sea caused double fractures, which took quite a bit of careful pinning to fix. Nice pose, though, with the dramatic flourish in full swing.

| KV129 Stormsurge, the infamous Lonely Goatherd configuration |
The other one is a second Stormsurge suit for the T'pau Sept. This time, it's been converted very nicely so that the missile launchers are on the shoulders and it's carrying the big gun like a trooper. It's a great look, more of a giant Broadside than the slightly static look of the original.
Battleship dazzle for the paintjob. Last time I did one, I embarrassingly ran out of Tau Light Ochre mid-paint, and ended up doing it in much darker shades than the rest of the army. This one redresses the balance somewhat - a few transfers to finish it off, a few crystals on the base and Bau'b's yer unc'l.

| Tau'f wedersehen, Goodbye |
In between the endless panel trimming, I managed to fit in a quick pair of Rhino doors. Now the black Rhino can be fielded with the Alpha Legion more convincingly than ever before.

| No magnets, just a very pleasingly exact slotta fit. |
And that's my lot for the week!
