A surprise visit from the Tau empire :O



Right, I have been a warhammer 40,000 fanatic since I was 5....yes 5....my grandad unwittingly bought me a set of empire Halberdiers, ollllld school ones, all in the same fixed positiion, he clearly assumed they were prepainted and all....nope, but I loved them. Hooked ever since.
Now got in touch with a friend recently, she was going to be down my way with her son, so we were planning to hang out, went to Tangmere museum, Sussex (old RAF base) to see some REAL warmachines ;)
Anyway, turns out she had a "box" of warhammer Tau, that her sister had dispensed with, so asked me if I wanted them. Yes please, SOLD!
So got a nice little package it seems in the end, in a non descript brown box, under all the bubble wrap, this is what I found...
 
 A big oooooooh, on my part. This is what was actually in there, quite a nice selection....



 Oh, and this little beauty, Shas'O r'myr's....or lord of apostrophes it seems. But none the less, a forgeworld model, I have never owned a forgeworld item before hah, so is a nice novelty for me :D
 Label detail....even though I am one of those sad hoarders/filing obsessives so I have practical ever instruction booklet/packaging from all my kits/models, ever! (My dads fault, when I was little he showed me that he still had the instructions for his old airfix kits from the late 60's....the idea stuck :D )
Definite update on these beauties soon :)
Oh, and at final count the package contained...
2x broadside battlesuits
1x crisis battlesuit
1x forgeworld apostrophe lord
1x etheral
6x vespids
8x firewarriors
and 3 pathfinders.
