I picked up everything from my army except for the commander. I have been looking for a Tau commander for my NOVA list. I was thinking of picking up a Shadowsun since the weapon loadout is what my commander is running (two fusion). The issue is I can't get it from my FLGS.
I was thinking of going to my local GW and ordering it this week. I decided to look at Forgeworld for a good laugh after some of the Beltway Gamers said they were using them for their HQ. What I saw shocked me.
Commander Farsight is $50 at GW. IShipping is free if I add some paint but I can have it shipped to my local GW and pay $53 with tax. Not bad and I like the model. It's Finecast.
TAU BATTLESUIT COMMANDER SHAS'O R'ALAI WITH DRONES from Forgeworld is $57.61 shipped and the 1% from my bank to change funds to pounds. I really like this model and you get two drones. It's NOT Finecast.
So, I can have a better model for $4.61 and skip Finecast.
Now, for my commander I can get the generic commander for $43.46 from my local GW. Meh...I don't really like the model and it's Finecast and really static.
I can order from Forgeworld a XV9 with Fusion Cascades to have it as a count as a Commander with Fusion Blasters for $54.01 shipped and all. It's $11 more but I really like the model.
This week I will order the XV9 this week. Not sure when I am going to get the other yet. Need a bunch of other parts for my Farsight bomb first.
