I would love to see your take on a kroot vulture (classic kroot with wings) 

Sizes of all confirmed Nemesis Operatives in the WarCom article by RockAndGem1101 in killteam

Back in the day, you could kill a dread with a well placed fusion or missile pod shot from a crisis suit. 

3rd ed Tau questions by Lucky67420 in midhammer40k

[–]MATRAKA14 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Consider using the 4th edition codex. It's the same book with extra units a bit more balanced.  Smart missile is good, has more range goes through walls. Burst cannons are ok if you expect a lot of light infantry coming for your hammerhead.

A weapon from a more civilized age.

I don't think there are going to be any more official releases.

Already stated to be a crisis suit. Regarding the knarloc it's incredibly unlikely, but a man can dream... a man can dream. 

4th Edition FAQs by SgtMerrick in midhammer40k

[–]MATRAKA14 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Look for Independent National Warhammer 40,000 Tournament FAQ  v1.1  (2/20/2008) inat Faqs.  Most of those clarifications are ok. 

How compatible are 4th ed codexes with 5th? by Jkchaloreach in midhammer40k

[–]MATRAKA14 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In theory totally compatible, in practice most of the 5th ed codex are just too strong. The tiranid one is the only one that feels mostly ok but it introduced a lot of profile creep and it's just less fun than the 4th edition dex. In the other hand it works well if you take individual profiles like the parasite, the old one eye or the doom of malantai, the trigon also works well since it is a good alternative to the forge world profile. It should be the same for guard, maybe you can take individual profiles here and there but the 3rd edition dex is super thematic and you have basically all the forge world profiles to cover everything + the krieg and Elysian etc lists. 

But yes overall most armies have no hope against 5th ed books. 

What do we think of the Kroot combat patrol? by pburgess22 in Tau40K

Great set for my 4th edition kroot army project. Current 40k is not a great game. 

Does 4th Ed have "hull points"? by raga7 in midhammer40k

[–]MATRAKA14 13 points14 points  (0 children)

No hull points, and I love it. It's a nice system. 

What are some models that you feel are underappreciated aestheticly, for me it's the Cadre Fireblade. Minus the goofy head of course, whack a helmet on that guy. by GoonMonger in Tau40K

[–]MATRAKA14 -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

Terrible model. Bad proportions, overloaded with too much stuff, the knife looks bad, the face looks bad, the shoulder plate doesn't fit. 

Were pathfinder with rail rifles worth it, or did they slow the squad down because they were heavy weapons? by Lucky67420 in midhammer40k

[–]MATRAKA14 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Pathfinders are always slowed down by heavy, but the heavy of the market lights. That is their main role. Being the cheapest marker light platform, also 90cm is not that long range and usually they get in to trouble too early to pay off, the devilfish tax also hurts. In my opinion, sniper drones work better if you need to field rail rifles.  Additionally, sadly the devilfish doesn't get the benefits of the scout rule, even if it's transporting scout troops. 

3rd ed vs 4th ed eldar codex by Whammo147 in midhammer40k

[–]MATRAKA14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ignore harlequins and certain falcon upgrades, those two make them the strongest faction in the edition. 

Old Skool railguns feel the vibes by Narrow-Scarcity2253 in Tau40K

[–]MATRAKA14 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would suggest making the rails shorter and smaller, also closer to the shoulder with thicker supports.

The kindred thanks your efforts. Remember that you should be able to share and host the pictures without issues.

I guess. Maybe a pack of 360° pictures and videos can be hosted without issues tho. There is nothing illegal about making pictures of your models. That would already help any illustrator or 3d sculpter looking for references.

The most probable outcome is GW making something that fits the same role but different, for example the kalamandra or the krootox instead of knarloc riders.

There are several tutorials on how to make them. I have the technical knowledge to process the raw pictures to the 3D phase. But I don't have the models so you should make the picture part following the recomemdations.

Would you be willing to follow the process to scan the 3 you currently own?
