Oh heck yeah, that final Narwhal looks stellar! And with all the effect bits on it, it's just *chef's kiss* I do agree, one of the more common struggles with this one was getting it to fit well on the 170mm oval base, but that's just the way it goes when you're modeling around a completely different footprint like you were sayin', and the base you worked out does look real good~ I'm glad you guys liked the kit~ ~Pipes

the tau bits painted in metallic colours (u used more of a red colour in this video) are actually pieces that balance the parts. For example, u can see they're in the tau pulse rifles, and that helps to stabilise the gun to guarentee a straight shot.

The Narwhal, designed by the legendary Earth Cast engineer Fio’o Sakura Po’pir. It was originally envisioned to replace the KV-128 Stormsurge. However, due to its unconventional design and material cost only a handful have made it past trial stages. When deployed alongside the fire warriors of the Sakura Sept, Narwhals cause quite the commotion…

I love the overall design of this model, I like Dave's sakura theme, and how all these all fit together! I also appreciate the the nice looking effects of the weapons firing. However, I think that is too much. All the rockets going off and that cannon firing kind of distracts and "noises" the otherwise somber aesthetic of the model. In this case, I think less would have been more. In any case, it is still an awesome result!

The stealth companies include a lot more black, inverting the usual scheme. So drones have black inner areas, black undersuits etc, a bit of a ninja vibe. I think pathfinders will be similar
