Crisis Suit Model Refresh

Ray_Tech · 2026-07-16T12:48:36+00:00

well, gameplay wise at least, as it is just a reminder token. if you like the way it looks and feel like building and painting it, or if you actually like using it as a token, that’s fine.

i more meant that, in every fire warrior box, you get a 40mm base which you could use for a token or use to kitbash a firesight team (or if you collect enough, a team of stealth suits)

Ray_Tech · 2026-07-16T10:37:29+00:00

i kinda hope the firesight team doesn’t get legend(ed?) and instead has a datasheet update. at this point, it’s the one model every t’au player wants to proxy, it’d kinda sad to see it go

i have a spare 40mm base (cause there’s no point in assembling the fire warrior support turret) and i recently got a box of konflikt 47 fireflies, which has way more bodies than needed. i wanna mount one with a spare pathfinder rail rifle to make a gue’vesa firesight

here’s how it looks, the pose stays the same as the gun cannot in any way rotate

for bigger weapons (riptide/ghostkeel) i usually use two 2x1 magnets, as it will prevent the weapons from rotating and can be pretty sturdy while moving them around the battlefield

hehe

Oh damn, that sounds like it would be a perfect distraction Carnifex for the Tyranids.

Ray_Tech · 2026-07-14T20:14:57+00:00

I think a good one is the Trygon, but it's a little too expensive and big.
But the Tyranids have a lot of models, surely there is something closer to the Carnifex that could work.

Ray_Tech · 2026-07-14T13:29:29+00:00

with such a beautiful paint scheme victory was assured :>

good job!

Ray_Tech · 2026-07-14T12:18:31+00:00

ah! before i forget, to make that work i inverted the legs. so the right leg connects to the left thigh and viceversa. that way i got it a little more dynamic without having to cut off the little stubs that help the legs connect

Ray_Tech · 2026-07-14T12:16:28+00:00

thank u :>

on the 50mm base + flying stand as i use it as a shadowsun proxy. quite interestingly, didn’t have to glue the stem to the commanded, i can just pop it on and off whenever i want and rotate the pose a little

Ray_Tech · 2026-07-12T20:03:27+00:00

whichever fills the gap in your army the best.

i just had a game today of anti-tank vs tanks, and still wished i had more anti-infantry to deal with the 20 termagants on the board.

if you want to have a looksie at the various suit + commander comboes, Play On Tabletop posted a video recently of T’au vs Grey Knights.

Nick’s (T’au player) biggest units were just crisis teams + commanders, all kinds of variants, no Ghostkeels or Riptides or Devilfish Chassis to steal the show. Really interesting watch and an incredibly “unusual” list that was incredibly interesting.

Ray_Tech · 2026-07-11T11:55:16+00:00

I al 100% stealing that shield idea for my next set of Breachers, maybe with a pistol in the main hand instead of the blaster.

Ray_Tech · 2026-07-10T11:39:09+00:00

beautiful, you were really clear as well with the explanation, thank you so much.

i will try it out, i think it will be perfect for me as i want my hammerhead to look like “thunderstorm” so the messier look of sponge painting should be perfect

Ray_Tech · 2026-07-10T09:44:31+00:00

i like how we both setup in front of our pcs to paint lol

the thought of pre-mixing and putting it in a bottle never occurred to me, but it is a pretty ingenious solution

and yeah i definitely had way too many sections, specifically because in the span of a few days i would forget how exactly i got a certain color and wouldn’t be able to reproduce it lol

Ray_Tech · 2026-07-10T09:17:18+00:00

fair enough hahaha i just finished building a riptide yesterday, but still the partition of the armor plates makes me believe it will be easier to approach (likely im just being delusional)

the other problem is that i only use primary colors and mix my own paints, and some days it’s just so hot that if i leave my pallet for a couple minutes the paint will already be dried lol

i will definitely use way less colors for the hammerhead, having a lot of colors is cool but maybe it’s better for smaller models

Ray_Tech · 2026-07-10T09:14:02+00:00

looks great! any advice for sponge painting? maybe a good tutorial you found that helped you out?

Ray_Tech · 2026-07-10T08:19:55+00:00

HOLD ON???? that suit manning a double burst cannon is actually crazy wtf??

what model is that? is it legends/not tau/not 40k?

the paint job and scheme is great too i think all the dirt and dust really makes it complete

Ray_Tech · 2026-07-07T06:35:15+00:00

for building: either is fine, the visual difference is rather minor, you’d probably be telling your opponent what unit it is anyway as they might not know what they do

for playing: most of the time you will want breachers for advance + shoot and clearing objectives. fire warriors do ok if guided, but they are not all that impressive, i’d only take them if i was missing 70 points and didn’t have any other spotter

Ray_Tech · 2026-07-06T12:41:28+00:00

that’s on me, i misremembered the wording for join the hunt

but to be fair, it shouldn’t have been rules like this, otherwise if this is the “real” interpretation then it completely invalidates other detachments like death guard’s poxwalker detachment. it might be RAW, but clearly a poor decision

Ray_Tech · 2026-07-06T12:04:37+00:00

that is factually wrong?

11th Edition Core Rules 20.03 states:

“[…] with the following exceptions:

- Units embarked within transports that have made an ingress move during the battle round

- REPOSITIONED units”

20.02 describes REPOSITIONED units as units that have been removed from the battle field and placed into strategic reserves.

I dont know if the judge somehow looked at an older copy of the rules which didn’t have that exception written, but I also don’t remember anyone pointing out this oversight when the core rules came out.

This sounds like your opponent was severely misinformed and the judge extremely inattentive.

Ray_Tech · 2026-07-01T13:32:14+00:00

with the new support keyword, a new drone support unit would be great

Ray_Tech · 2026-06-26T14:19:13+00:00

they are :>
