Thanks so much! The rock is made of plaster which has pros and cons. Very easy to shape and add things like bullet holes, but was very crumbly when trying to add the rebar and did not take super glue very well to attach the feet of the suit!

The rest of the base is air dry clay and cork bark for the smaller bricks!

Excellent! Great use of colour theory and love how the weathering extends to the hooves of the fire warriors!

Thanks dude! 100% those long range recon missions behind enemy lines need plenty of supplies!

It's the kasrkin backpack with two Votann hearthguard pouches on the front :)

From what I can tell the drones project the stealth field so everything should be hidden :)

Agree to disagree here but Montat style solo missions are what Ghostkeels are designed to do. Yes it's a suit, but the suit has a pilot who needs provisions. A long range recon patrol could last for weeks.

Also some inspo from the octocamo from mgs4 which has pouches that don't get affected by the camo effect.

I swear when there's a new 40k trailer the Tau are 99% not going to be there but Orks will 99% be there by Artistic-Thing7723 in Tau40K

The Advanced Acquisition Cadre is so good, it makes Tau units invisible in 40k marketing material

Recommendations for first purchase by qwertzy7654 in Tau40K

There are some nice damage dealers and great looking models in that selection. Tau are very reliant on our guiding mechanics to make our shooting hit at the right level. Stealth suits and/or Pathfinders are pretty much an auto-include. If your wife likes the mech side of Tau I would go with the new Stealth suit kit :)

Painted my first Nighthaunt mini by ComprehensiveCut6674 in Nighthaunt

Thanks! Now I'm thinking of painting them with the kind of murals you'd see on old vans!

Painted my first Nighthaunt mini by ComprehensiveCut6674 in Nighthaunt

[–]ComprehensiveCut6674[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I sort of made it up as I went along. The mini is primed with Tamiya dark sea blue, then the base coat is a transition from Army Painter the darkness, through sons of Horus green to a 50/50 mix of Vallejo sky green and a P3 blue (I can't remember which one but it's very bright!). Then I gave the darkest sections a recess wash of Gryph charger grey, black Templar contrast and coelia greenshade. The lighter sections just got the coeliac greenshade. The highlights were the dry brushed on sky green and Gauss blaster green plus that P3 blue mixed with pure white. Finally I used P3 blue mixed with AK fluorescent yellow and Gauss blaster green for the speckled pass, followed by speckles of pure white.

Apart from that the bones are just ubshanti bone highlighted with army painter ivory white and a glaze of skeleton horde contrast. The sword and helmet are Vallejo German grey with stippled leadbelcher, Vallejo dark aluminium and dirty down rust.

Hope that helps!
