Tried to depict a Callidus Assassin transforming from a Tau Ethereal

I had a failed 3d print of a Callidus Assassin, a spare Ethereal, and an event requiring models that were no more than 25% 3d printed.

So I tried my hand at manual kit bashing again using clippers, a dremel, and tamiya putty.

I did a zenithal and then used Army Painter Speedpaint v1.0 and some GW washes.

Was originally going for white Viorla armor, tried to put some Army Painter Dark wash, but it was still reading as unpainted to me, rather than white. So I just added some GW Sepia Wash instead.

Still debating if I want to add a Tau text transfer decal to the middle cloth thing.

Anyway, still haven’t varnished it, not looking forward to the Speedpaint V1.0 reactivating again, but not a whole lot I can do about it.
