A dynamic fellow indeed. He's weighted on his back foot, looking up the top's of the surrounding buildings... or what's left of them. His gun may be in a non-active position, but that left hand is definitely reaching to meet it or at the very least is ready to support it if the need to return fire arises.
If you're wondering where the antenna normally on the right-hand side of his helmet is... well, its not on yet as I need to add it. I want to get everything else finished on each fire warrior before I pull the antenna off the sprue, as they are easily lost otherwise.

This guy is going to hold a special significance for me. Why? Well, he is the first 40K model that is entirely my own. I bought the box, cut him from the sprue, carved the materials for his base, glued him together, and painted it all. It's original me.
I am forever grateful to my friend for sending me his Tau models to get me started (and I have many more of them yet to paint). Those models hold a different meaning for me. One that exemplifies friendship and comradery.
But, this model is the first in something unique. The first of my personal creations. When it is all said and done, I can say this is where I stood on my own and started the journey.
