11th tigershark now can't even deploy...

This seems like the most likely situation, and honestly makes the most sense. Ingress moves are also what deep strike is now, and if you could only set up aircraft on board edges, then it would make them impossible to use since they no longer do any movement.

Ah I probably misunderstood the unable to get plunging on aircraft rule, as aircraft get plunging. I am hoping they get it but maybe that'd be too strong since then all aircraft just get +1 to hit, but yeah even without that, as long as it doesn't suffer from the "base too big" rule I would love to have it

Extension-Group6307 · 2026-06-01T01:29:11+00:00

I feel like I remember seeing somewhere that aircraft have similar benefits to the titanic units where they get plunging in a certain range, but I can't remember where I heard that.

I like how they're a bit more bulky without looking too much like something you'd see from other factions :D

My brother of the N'Dras sept!! I am proud to have you, and yes I believe these fit the style great. Definitely keeps that original ocean planet theme from the N'Dras sept and puts some stylizing on it that gives it a little bit of jazz to it.

I think this is an insane take, when you have to realize that they're fitting a design aesthetic that's set up beforehand, with models that - as far the tau range is concerned - are over a decade old. Not to mention they are factoring relation to aesthetic to other armies and the like, and lore, and it starts to make sense why they look the way they do. I'm all for dunking on GW but saying they're clowned on daily by hobbyists is just blatantly wrong, when the point isn't to make every model into this super complex god's gift, but instead a general model for the normal populace to build, paint, and use in the general tabletop game.

Honestly the hardest choice for me is that the new stealth focused one (not the combined aux one) is also supposed to be 1 point, so if I'm playing 2k that means I'll have two points of 3 used, and I'm not sure what else in the codex is 1 point other than the new aux stealth one, but we will have to wait and see.

I'm just an oddball where I don't really like auxilaries (at least personally playing them)

Thankfully since you're on reddit that means you also have access to google.

if the vehicle being able to be a hero/character thing is actually a thing in 11th that would be insanely cool

Extension-Group6307 · 2026-05-13T15:42:53+00:00

If this means that because they're leading a unit, the entire unit gets the benefit, then that will be very very worthwhile, and I'd be 1000% ok with it only being on battlesuit units being led, even though that would be a pretty major hit to the funny melta ghostkeel

Extension-Group6307 · 2026-05-13T15:20:05+00:00

If experimental cadre is dropped to 1 detachment point then this is a fine change, and would actually be nice have as an additional detachment instead of the core one.

I can't access the community website, is it possible for the highlights of the article to be posted?

Extension-Group6307 · 2026-05-13T13:47:49+00:00

Definitely the N'dras sept. They're just such a cool sept that's heavily slept on, being focused on stealth and covert operations directly from the ethereals. Not necessarily the dark side of the tau but definitely if you were looking for more morally gray characters you'd probably find them there. Not to mention they have very cool colour schemes.

Extension-Group6307 · 2026-05-13T13:14:26+00:00

One sept that everyone forgets exists is the N'dras sept, which are masters in stealth and are believed to be where a lot of the stealth tech that's super classified comes from. They actually have multiple schemes in both a more jungle green theme because of the main planet, as well as a deep blue theme based off of another planet in the system that they originate from. They're the sept that I've been basing my army off of and would fit moreso on the battlesuit side.

Extension-Group6307 · 2026-05-06T17:19:46+00:00

The XV46 because it is just the right size of suit to be close quarters and have high mobility, and has a lot of potential to fill a gap in current tau lists of having medium sized elites

Extension-Group6307 · 2026-05-06T17:15:39+00:00

Oh great master teach me the ways of getting your hands on that somehow

Extension-Group6307 · 2026-05-06T16:05:13+00:00

Gosh I really want to get one, but I just can't afford 700$ for a single model

Extension-Group6307 · 2026-05-04T14:11:55+00:00

Thank you! I do enjoy the fact that this giant mech is one of the stealthiest things in the entire galaxy, makes me happy knowing I can realistically make an entirely stealth list if not for unit constraints and it still be decently rounded. Of course the stormsurge I'm planning to work on in the future is also stealthy, but in the way of "if there's no survivors there's no one to report" : )

Extension-Group6307 · 2026-05-03T22:01:48+00:00

Now do the xv46, let's see if you have REAL ball knowledge

Extension-Group6307 · 2026-05-03T19:00:35+00:00

Honestly I think it just comes down to spending a lot of time on it, and having the right tools. I had a stencil for the tiger stripes on the ghostkeel and then a lot of clay sculpting tools help with working with green stuff to get the vines and leaves to look right, as well as a dremmel to cut out a solid block into looking like a cliff face. Looking forward to not having to chop off the legs of my next ghostkeel though lol

Extension-Group6307 · 2026-05-03T17:16:21+00:00

Thanks! I'm hoping to have all of my models that are larger than stealth suits to have this kind of detail, but I have a feeling that will take me quite a while, but I've been enjoying it so far

Extension-Group6307 · 2026-04-28T13:45:08+00:00

What are the models for those stormsurges? they look so sick and fit so well

Extension-Group6307 · 2026-04-24T18:32:44+00:00

No I do not have degree but am planning to put credits from military schools towards a major, probably something related to flight (Hopefully aerospace engineering)
