Aeronautica Imperialis Skies of Fire Planes - To DONE

 

Aeronautica Imperialis Skies of Fire

Hello and welcome back.  The Aeronautica Imperialis Skies of Fire box set project is now complete with the finished T'au Air Caste planes on display.  This faction was a lot of fun to paint; even though I traditionally do not paint much Xenos stuff.  I painted up the Orks from the Wings of Vengeance box, and now these T'Au planes have come out well too.  It has been fun to do something so different.  Wait until I show off the surprise Necron flyer project I kicked off as a year end thing to celebrate finishing the Skies of Fire box. But for now, let's give this project a big stamp o'DONE.

Now here's a look at the completed T'au Aire Caste planes.

The Tiger Sharks are BIG with lots of detail.

They are big, but mighty thin...

Here's a look at the undersides of the planes.

The Barracuda fighters look pretty cool.  I decided to give the squadron leader a white nose cone.

These planes are also pretty thin...

All-in-all, a successful completion of the Skies of Fire box set, bringing me to two of three available sets completed.  The final set to paint will be the Wrath of Angels boxed set with Space Marine and Aeldari plans.  I might have to push that into the queue for this season, just to see all three sets complete. I'll get painting recipes up soon, too, for anyone interested.

I'll have one more post this week before the holidays swing into full gear for my family.  Not sure I'll get in much else before the new year, but we'll see.  I'll have some hobby time over the break so there should be something to show for it.  For now, look forward to some Necron planes on display later this week.

Cheers and Happy Gaming!

  1. These look great. I love the colour scheme and the marking on the squad leader. Nice one!
