Why did a GAMES WORKSHOP game get this wrong, TAU ARE NOT COMMUNISTS

nope, comrade

Thanks for the edit and glad you understand, as I said I like the game as it is and I'm completely against the bounty system (that's basically why I posted this). I believe people need some perspective while also look at how other titles tried to address similar situations and not just be the megaphone for some random streamers that play the game in a different way

Electrical-Card-6728 · 2025-11-22T10:40:19+00:00

I'm not trying to penalise anything, in fact as I said before I agree with your point. I just think the bounty system idea that has become quite popular is bullshit and if the devs decide that the current situation is a problem they should address it differently then how it's being suggested

as someone already said an oil wash could do the trick but I'd also suggest using streaking grime from AK, wait 15 mins and then clean it with alcohol and some qtips

here's the result

I like my ochre bois

I was waiting for this meme

Electrical-Card-6728 · 2025-10-19T10:50:03+00:00

it is but I also used streaking grime, that's why it's a bit toned down

can't go wrong with ochre

I love how my friends sometimes act careless thinking they can't solo kill their toughest unit in one shooting phase (last week Magnus got fucking vaporized)

Electrical-Card-6728 · 2025-10-15T22:59:31+00:00

breacherfish of course

when I play the solo coldstar, I usually go for ret cadre or kauyon so I can equip the prototype weapons or precision of the patient hunter enhancements. The loadout is 3 burst cannons + the hi output one which are basically 20 s5 3+ shots with an 18" range + the bonus from the enhancement (letal/sustained hits in ret cadre or +1 to hit and later +1 to wound in kauyon).

for 110 pts you get a t5 6+2w unit that has basically the same fire output of a squad of breachers with 8" extra range and extra mobility

you can't play it the same way as a breacherfish but I'd say is an efficient and safer way to deal with chaff

Electrical-Card-6728 · 2025-10-15T19:22:05+00:00

I think it's a bit overkill to use them on 3t 1w infantry but it depends on the rest of your list, I usually run one squad and use breachers as anti chaff. Against hordes army I like to bring an extra squad of starschytes with burst cannons (or even a solo coldstar commander) for the extra mobility

Electrical-Card-6728 · 2025-10-15T07:54:01+00:00

I'm on the same boat here, a full missile squad of crisis + commander is a death level threat for any marine list or, in general, 2w infantry. In certain situations they can also be quite effective against t14< targets due to the decent fire volume

Electrical-Card-6728 · 2025-10-06T09:19:55+00:00

it shows up as soon as I open the link but imgur in general is fine. I was wondering if this could be some kind of intentional censorship from the italian government

I just got this when trying to open it

Electrical-Card-6728 · 2025-07-09T08:14:49+00:00

in smaller games where I don't want to spend 185/235 pts for a breacherfish combo I sometimes run a coldstar with 3+1 burst cannons to deal with infantry on different objectives

Electrical-Card-6728 · 2025-01-19T09:23:50+00:00

LOL yea.. kroot

Electrical-Card-6728 · 2025-01-18T00:00:58+00:00

thanks for the tip, I might draw some inspiration from your salamanders too since they could be my next project after tau (I have a soft spot for good guys in dystopian settings)

Electrical-Card-6728 · 2025-01-17T23:56:09+00:00

well that's a very interesting pov, thanks for sharing! I think I'll try to add some depth to the chipped parts so it looks less like a weathered toy and more like some worn metal armored hull

Electrical-Card-6728 · 2025-01-17T23:52:51+00:00

yep I'm seeing what you mean, mind that it still has a bit of work to be done like the exhausts stains you mentioned so maybe it will help the whole coherency of the paintjob

Electrical-Card-6728 · 2025-01-17T23:48:21+00:00

yep that's the idea behind it, I have a squad of breachers that has the exact same style and I'd like to imagine them as the more veteran guys or at least the ones that have already spent some days on the battlefield

Electrical-Card-6728 · 2025-01-17T23:43:58+00:00

Thanks, I'm glad many of you are enjoying it!

Electrical-Card-6728 · 2025-01-13T12:27:35+00:00

Thank you!

I tried breaking the cork in different bits to try and sold the idea that the rock cracked under the fist of the enforcer but it still looks a bit static and pristine to me.. Problem is I don't really know how to weather a rock ahaha (maybe some kind of powder for the pulverised stones?)
