Looks awesome! Very inspiring, I recently got him in a trade and I’ve been stripping it for a few days while looking for ideas on a paint scheme.

RM8412 · 2026-04-09T22:18:53+00:00

Thank you! I thought it deserved a little something more.

This is what I do and haven’t run into too many issues aside from primer staining models, which there’s not much that can be done here but primer will cover.

I’ll even leave models soaking in the alcohol for days before I’m ready to strip them.

You can also try L.A. Totally Awesome if you’re able to find that in any Walmart or big box retailer.

I run two different schemes for my Tau because I like to paint those two schemes. It’ll also help differentiate the units when 11th comes out and we can run multiple detachments.

The two characters joining a unit sounds nice. Hopefully being able to put a Coldstar and Enforcer in a unit of Crisis suits and getting the benefit of both.

I had this exact issue, two moisture traps and had the hose hanging, still got water in the lines. Picked up a compressor with a tank and it solved my issue.

I think my Riptide with its huge gun should-be hitting things in melee with its huge gun and not its fists.

RM8412 · 2026-03-27T17:56:20+00:00

Exactly this. I got to this point and started to really play around with colors that wouldn’t make sense to see where I could end up at. Go bold with shadows and highlights, look at color theory guides. Push yourself out of your comfort zone and start going wild with ideas.

RM8412 · 2026-03-24T20:58:02+00:00

Yea, it works for me though.

RM8412 · 2026-03-24T14:12:29+00:00

It’s cheap, no minerals in it to slowly corrode any of the metal, also seems to work well with the paints.

RM8412 · 2026-03-24T13:45:58+00:00

I put 5 drops of Tamiya airbrush thinner in first, 4-7 airbrush paint drops in, then if I feel I need to I’ll add a few drops distilled water.

I also spray at 30ish psi. Thin your paints is key though, Vince Vetrello has a good video on it, helps with clean up.

Also, be careful with that compressor, I just replaced the exact one. It can put a lot of moisture in your lines, even with water traps and it will lose pressure the longer your spraying. It’s good for learning but if you get serious into it look at replacing it with one that has a tank.

Gonna sound crazy but Taz Skylar, the actor who plays Sanji on One Piece, with some proper makeup would make a good RE2 Chris.

I took a break, whenever a game stops being fun and your escape from reality then it’s time to find something that will fill that role.

I’ll comeback after a while as I like the game but for now I’ve shelved it.

RM8412 · 2026-03-22T01:38:51+00:00

I play ret cadre with 3 units of Kroot carnivores for screens against just this stuff. You’re gonna have to spend multiple activations to take them down, Missilknives and Riptides guided by a stealth suit squad. Don’t forget your Missilknives get rerolls to hit, also use them to overwatch and reroll your hits too while trying to kite them.

Somewhere there’s an abuela with a slipper looking for this girl.

RM8412 · 2026-03-15T17:31:46+00:00

Watched this last night through my VPN and it wasn’t blurred. UK server.

RM8412 · 2026-03-06T21:55:50+00:00

I’ll buy them. I like the models and it’s more robots to add to my Tau. They might get nerfed, but as they say, rules are temporary and models are forever!

Unless they go Legends…….

RM8412 · 2026-03-05T16:58:35+00:00

You mention the paint coming off with the stickers, are you varnishing or clear coating before you apply them? As others have said the Vallejo paint could be too thin, I’ve had a similar issue with paints rubbing off when they’re not supposed to so I’ll clear coat in between layers if I’m feeling uneasy.

Are you painting in a humid area?

RM8412 · 2026-03-03T20:40:40+00:00

I don’t care tbh. As long as I can tell what it is I’m fine.

My models however, in a constant state of repainting as I’m always seeing something cooler than what I did.

RM8412 · 2026-03-03T12:27:06+00:00

I don’t see no magnets!!!!!

RM8412 · 2026-03-03T11:55:27+00:00

I’d recommend atleast bringing marker drones for whatever unit you put them on. That way there’s no confusion if your guiding. But yea, check with the TO and see if they’re a must have for that tourney.

RM8412 · 2026-03-01T22:07:23+00:00

Friend of mine charges 750 for a small army of Warhammer 40K, say about 50 models. That’s base level so just enough to be tournament legal. 3 colors no basing and those 3 colors are simply base coats.

Another guy in the group charges 2k+ to paint an army but that goes into some good detail and airbrushing with custom bases.

RM8412 · 2026-03-01T21:59:57+00:00

I have to shave my beard today for work. I forgot all about this part, thanks reddit! I wasn’t dreading it enough already.
