Tau: xv9 commander R'Alaiby ~Atropos907

Traditional Art / Paintings / Sci-Fi

an xv9 hazard suit commander R'alai from forgeworld.
99% airbrushed (bit of drybrushing on the base) . note the carbon fiber shiny armor, the recessed lights between armor panels, and the inconspicuous shields deflecting an impressive barrage with the shield drones pulling their own weight on the small arms fire, and the primary shield shrugging off a hit from a strength 10 weapon.

How did you make the cohesive sheilds?

~Atropos907 Apr 21, 2013

Airbrush very carefully on acrylic. These are christmas ornaments

It took 2 practice shields before I started getting it right , I think these are attempts #3 4 and 5

Is that an energy field?

Even we Necrons don't get these...

~Atropos907 Apr 14, 2013

Not sure what else you would call an invulnerable save...I always asumed it was a low output energy field that may or may not calculate and project in time and at the right angle to deflect a hit. Hence the little shield drones orbiting around this XV9 trying to throw themselves between the xv9 and the enemy. Thus if their shields fail, they eat the round before the XV does.

Makes sense i guess

~Atropos907 Apr 14, 2013

Every time I look at this I can just feel being in that suit as he takes a huge impact on his arm shield nearly crushing him and his suit as it deflects the shot.
