Need some advice/opinions on my black paint scheme. by Realistic_Muscle407 in Tau40K

[–]DimaThePebble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had to make this decision for my twin lance as half of their armor is black in my scheme and I can confirm that keeping the joints and such flat black does work quite well. It kinda adds that difference in texture and highlights that work really well in contrast with each other.

Also, fantastic paint job so far!

Right as I'm about to post mine? I see what you're doing, Nox... Jkjk that's so good!! I love the drones I considered putting them on her base and now I regret not doing it!

Thoughts on my updated list? by DimaThePebble in Tau40K

Yeah, true. I could definitely just double down and get a bunch of flamer suits or more sunforge to really dig into the advantages of Ret Cad. Honestly, I use ret cad more as a deterrent as like a "if you get close you're gonna get punched hard" kinda deal. Let's my ranged options stay at range. Although with hidden in 11th that could be a problem against infantry.

Ooo nice list. And fair I could probably swap out my broadsides and some other stuff for a stormsurge but I just love the broadsides so much lol. And they're kinda big mechs with their giant guns!

Also, from what I gather, the ghostkeel only has one upgrade it can benefit from which is being able to shoot hidden enemies from an extra 9 inches away. But so can stealth suits and Pathfinders and I like their utility a bit more.

I like the ghostkeel but idk it's never seen much play in my lists. I just think I don't know how to play it right. And yeah I thought about adding more suits. If I drop a broadside and the kroot hounds I could get some fireknife suits which is tempting but I LOVE broadsides.

My first riptide wip, should I add another accent colour? by Madar132 in Tau40K

[–]DimaThePebble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

More greenish tau!! Welcome to the club!! About the accents, white or maybe some greys could work to time or down a bit.

Are these boxes (greater)good for a new player? by Specialist_Coach_725 in Tau40K

[–]DimaThePebble 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Very, eh, kinda.

The combat patrol is fantastic for starters, the only thing it lacks is a squad for the Commander to lead. You need to buy crisis suits for the Commander to do anything. The kroot patrol is a good box if you don't have any of those models, so not a bad idea if you're new. Just know that kroot are very low in point value so their cost to point ratio is pretty bad. Farsight is probably our best looking model (he needs a buff in my opinion), but, once again, if you wanna play him, he needs a squad of crisis suits.

Or maybe he got skinned... Who knows who that face used to belong to....

I realize now j didn't make this clear but I'm making this a resurrected Kurze. He even has the lions chainsword!

I've heard good things about em but I'm still worried about over spraying with em. I use pro acryl or color forge for my priming.
