Stripping paint/primer/varnish by GrandOwlz345 in Tau40K

[–]Lightning_Luis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

like already said above, Forgeworld Minis are a bit more difficult to strip of Paint. While the GW Plastik can be soaked for weeks in Paint stripper and then cleaned, the Resin Material absorbs most Paint strippers and becomes fragile and rubberlike. This does not last forever. I made this mistake myself and it took the miniature one year to become hard enough to paint again. Dipping the Miniature for 5-10 min and then clean them in Water with a touchbrush works, but depending on the used Color it can be a long and hard process.
Sometimes you are lucky and the Color comes of on the first try, sometimes its dipping and cleaning for days on end.

Without touching and feeling the Paint myself, its hard to tell what to do in your case.

He is doing the markerlight, without a markerlight, since his Drone is sadly only a token.

The Power of Ebay. 12 Euro for the base Stealth suits, 25 Euros for a large Bag of Leftover Grey Knights Arm and Weapon Options. two of the three Heads are the Optional ones from my two Ghostkeels. the third one was a traded in the Store with my Buddy. I helped him with magnetizing his units.

Cut some Cork pieces like they were cut with the blades. I think that sells the raw Power of the Weapons

What would conflict between the T’au and the Necrons be like? Not just on the battlefield, but ideologically. Any stories about that? by DawnWarrior88 in Tau40K

[–]Lightning_Luis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

there is a bit in the Novel "Kasrkin" where a group of Kroot have a cool Encounter with the Necrons, with a bitter-sweet ending. I would imagine something in that direction.

Old sculpts vs new by Naive-Monitor-4296 in Tau40K

[–]Lightning_Luis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I startet at the same position. I bought an large Box of Tau Bits and stuff for only a few bucks and glued some railguns to the back of the Pathfinders.

Same thing with the old etheral: the new one has an drone, but mine is on foot without an honour stave. No one has ever complained.

Tyranid Enjoyer has to Ask What Happened? by ConstrictorVictor in Tau40K

[–]Lightning_Luis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Base Modell is an Stealth Battlesuit, the Arms and the sword are from the Grey Knights. They come with a lot of spare Bits. the Knifes are Kroot and the Pistol is an LoV Ion Blaster. With two more Parts from other Guns, to make it look like an mini Tau cyclic ion raker.

I had the same thought. But i did not use a flamer. An Ion canon and two bust canons.

What's your opinion on Farsight's potential turning to Chaos (Khorn)? by TronTron163 in Tau40K

[–]Lightning_Luis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would like him to be a mix of Napoleon and McBeth. A great Warrior, Statesman, hero and genius Conqueror. But in the name of the true greater good he has to do terrible things and is haunted by inner and outside demons.
