Here is a look at the box...
and the contents...
I was a bit surprised by the clam-shell packaging. Maybe it has just been so long since I had bought some new GW merchandise, but I was expecting the styrofoam dividers. Oh well; clam-shells are certainly cleaner and probably less expensive. But I will miss the ability to make ruins from the packaging...
Here is a pic of something I didn't want to find:
That is going to take some time to clean up, and it is right on some of the engraved detail of the shoulder pad.
(NOTE: That is not a rant against GW. When I start my historical projects, I will be just as quick to point out their flaws as well.)
Here is the rail rifle on the sniper drones:
Beautifully cast, as are the antennas and the drone controller...
This will be a fun addition to my Tau force; hopefully I will get it assembled and painted before the end of the year!!

Ah yes, gaming! And a lot of fun it is... but should it be miniatures or MMORPG?

Making progress
Howdy,
Lots of stuff happening...
Over at TMP several new blogs have started up, and they are looking good so far. Here are their links:

I'm also working on finishing off the Tau force. I have purchased what may be the last two items for the force - the new Sniper Drone box and the new Commander crisis suit. Hopefully I will take some work-in-progress pics of these cool new items as I progress them from box to completion. The drones are getting painted up - sloooowly, and I have contracted with No. 2 Son to finish my Fire Warriors and Kroot.
