Description
This model is kitbashed from about six different kits (fire warriors, stealth suits, pathfinders, space marines....) and main purpose of making it was table cleaning. After all it is now one of my favorite characters and I decided to play her as Cadre FirebladeRelated content

Nicely done with the detail. This is a hero character from the updated codex, right? (I' haven't played Warhammer 40k in a long time and had the first codex.)

This is a custom kitbash representing character introduced in sixth edition codex, cadre fireblade. It is kind of generic infantry leader

I wouldn't have used the Stealth Suit legs myself. Aside from that very cool work and paintscheme ^_^

I really wanted this model to stand out when joined in fire warriors. Those legs make her taller and more massive then line troopers. And to be honest, with those muscular legs, she is such alpha-female

Height could have been achieved with terrain, and some sort of come device like the IG Vox-caster.
Also, an Alpha Female doesn't necessarily need to be bigger then the males. It also doesn't quite gel with Tau being all about equality and unity.
I can tell you that had you left it at the shoulder pads and bare head that the model would have stood out.

I am sorry, but I still pretty much like those legs, she is not that much bigger than males anddifference is made by height of hoves not legs itself. Also, if you read fluff written at my commanderm you wil understand, that my army should represent lost army abandoned by greater good, so the ideas of tau'va, unity and equality are little out of theme. It is a sad comuniy where only the stronger are alive.
Also I do not like riddiculously huge scenic bases (yes I know this model has no base at all, yet). But firstly the leader must look as leader.

head is from wargames factory kit of female apocalypse survivors, this head looks in hat kit really weird and artificiali, but after some plastic surgery (cutting off nose) it looks really tau
