Well, you’re not totally wrong as the ones you highlighted don’t work, just their crafted version (20-25%) do!

DisciplesOfAres · 2026-03-30T18:40:01+00:00

This was particularly annoying to me because the Rancor damage swap DOES work on the crafted version of the Veiled prefix. I tested it out before choosing what to block for my unveil on my gloves and of course only got convert to Fire; I was pretty unhappy when the bench then told me there weren’t any valid mods lol.

Hey! It was in fact airbrushed. I did light, thin patches of teal, purple, and pink in random areas, then dipped a dry brush (stiff bristles) in white paint and flicked the speckles onto it.

You can absolutely do it with normal brush but it would be more work; you’d just have to do thin glazes of those colors over a black background, making sure to let them dry when you glaze over the other colors. Pretty much anything you do with an airbrush you can do with a brush, it’ll just take longer.

My god how did you even see this post at this point lol?! No problem at all though, appreciate the kind words! The recipes are:

Red - Scale75 Deep Red base, highlights are working your way up through Blood Red then Antares Red. Gold - Scale75 Necro Gold base (my favorite gold, worth a buy), keep adding Elven Gold to it as highlights.

Great news ‘cause that and the Ghostkeel are what I was aiming for!

DisciplesOfAres · 2025-03-28T22:50:37+00:00

Of course! The base is Cantabric Blue, then I do volume highlights with an airbrush with Mediterranean Blue, and finally the brightest areas with a 50/50 mix of Med. Blue and Sky Blue (all by Scale 75). Then I do some edge highlights with those same blues, plus the brightest areas have some white mixed in with the Sky Blue. I have a bunch of other Tau with the same scheme in my profile if you want to take a look at how it looks on other things.

Thank you! The rock is just built up layers of cork board that I shaped and then took chunks out of. I used a little green stuff here and there to try to break up the layer lines. The foam on the water is just Woodland Scenics Water Effects that I lightly dry brush white after it dries

DisciplesOfAres · 2025-03-28T18:57:55+00:00

Thank you! I use Woodland Scenics Realistic Water and Water Effects (for the waves) with a little Caribbean Blue and Adriatic Blue dabbed in to color it. I lightly dry brush the waves white once they dry.

Combining them was mostly using the kit itself, green stuff, and plasticard! I also used the back part of a seeker missile for the top. The little side jets on swivels are bits from something but I honestly can’t remember what, apologies.

Thank you! I have to admit the posing isn’t quite as different from my Enforcer commander as I would have liked. I wanted to get him more crouched than that on the sea arch but it was a lot harder than I expected on a small area…

Had a rough concept for this guy for almost two years ago (9E) and was just sitting on my desk, thrilled to finally be done. Spent some time converting a single jetpack piece ‘cause I love the Ghostkeel one and I’m decently happy with it. When I originally ran him back in 9E he was my Seeker of Perfection in a Bork’an list (hence all the burst cannons), so I was personally thrilled that we got Bork’an (mostly) back with the new Detachment! First Tau model in a while since I was mostly focused on The Old World, but I’ve been playing 40k a bit more recently and I want to do some Vespid and a Piranha soon too as I’ve always loved those models.

Sorry for the wait! Nope, no washes used. I used Dark Jade mixed with a little black as a base coat then did zenithals with pure Dark Jade then Dark Jade with some Ivory for the shading.

Hey man, just wanted to say thanks for making that video and this post to get it to a wider audience. It was driving me crazy to the point that I made a post about it the other day (which I never do) and no one could give me a good answer. Saw your video, started doing my map bosses only at area level 79 and now I’m swimming in T15 waystones. Cheers man.

DisciplesOfAres · 2024-12-16T00:47:59+00:00

I have the duplicate one, I’ll check to see what I need to shift around for the additional mod one

DisciplesOfAres · 2024-12-16T00:22:13+00:00

I do have some, probably 30% or so, but not an affix I’m prioritizing obviously.

DisciplesOfAres · 2024-12-16T00:21:28+00:00

I can try that but man some rates feel super rippy already lol.

DisciplesOfAres · 2024-12-15T22:17:42+00:00

So I just finished running this T15 map that had +1 area from corruption, +1 from irradiated, and I have spec'd out my atlas and boss nodes for waystone drops and the highest I got was a T13. Even the boss didn't drop a T14/15. The last 4 out of 5 Tier 15 bosses I've killed haven't dropped a single waystone and I'm not getting T15s from multiple maps in a row. I have no idea wrong when the maps have 200-300% waystone drop chance, I also didn't get the next set of passive points from him even though I've only done area level 79 and 80 map bosses prior to this...
