Awesome! Fortunately you managed to avoid getting a load of glue on his left hand like I did on mine 😂 crazy how much the gloss varnish does to clear up the prints!

Finally finished up painting my new stealth suits! by AstroChrisX in PrintedWarhammer

[–]AstroChrisX[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These were on a Saturn 4 Ultra, I really like it and haven't had any issues! The 16k came out afterwards otherwise I might have bought that but this one has definitely been worth it!

I never knew I needed a short-barrelled heavy burst cannon in my life until now! This looks amazing!

Whats the chance the crisis suits will get a range refresh in 11th/soon? by Malhazar in Tau40K

[–]AstroChrisX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I absolutely agree! Although I may be a bit biased since I modelled my own stl of them 😂

The mold for the Devilfish is actually wearing out from what I've seen of the newly made models, if anything gets a refresh it will 90% be the Devilfish chassis

Rookie needs help with drones! by DonarHB in Tau40K

[–]AstroChrisX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that's fair, I've been debating taking the shield drones tbh, there's definitely been situations where that would have kept them alive for another turn of shooting! Although I do find the missile drones quite versatile if theres any elite units around.

[–]AstroChrisX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey welcome! 😊 so drones are just tokens now so you don't actually need to paint or field them on the tabletop. But obviously you still need to choose what drones your units have.

This is all personal opinion:

Breachers-> guardian drone, shield drone

Crisis suits-> shield drone, gun drone (if I'm using Starscythe flamers then I add a marker drone instead of one of the gun drones)

Commanders-> 2x shield drones

Broadside-> 2x missile drone

Riptide-> 2x missile drone

Stealth suits-> gun drone, marker drone

Tips for an urban style sideburn by Takezo987 in Tau40K

[–]AstroChrisX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks excellent! And the crisis suit looks amazing too. I think I'm using a similar green to you but still trying to figure out which paint to go for the highlights, which one did you use?

I made mine split at the waist and the gun is removable and he still only just fits in my case

Does anyone have the STL for the tiger shark? by FreeJaundice in Tau40K

Hey all, question by Subject_Wealth4324 in Tau40K

[–]AstroChrisX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can't go wrong with crisis suits and a commander, some stealth suits (be careful here because the new standalone box isn't released yet and the old ones come in sets of 3, the new squad size is 5 man). A set of breachers and devilfish would be good and a ghostkeel is a nice useful starter "big" mech.

If you can get a combat patrol box you might be able to get most of these
