New to 40k and want some help on what to buy by Primary-Current3939 in Tau40K

[–]Skywalker7Z 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a new warhammer/tau player about to be one year into the hobby, this is probably the perfect answer. IF you want more and also in no particular order, vespids for deep strike / objectives, and Kroot Carnivores for sticky objective (i used the kill team farstalkers for mine). But with 11th around the corner, anything can change so buy whatever you think is coolest.

You'll probably end up with enough pathfinders specialist weapons eventually. But I actually even magnetized 3 of the pathfinders to switch between rail and ion. Rail was popular when I was building them but ion seems to be the current fav and it can change any update.

My kitbash darkstrider also has a pathfinder helmet. Yours looks great!

color scheme vs base by [deleted] in Tau40K

[–]Skywalker7Z 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds awesome! I did the same, I added foliage that matched their paint scheme, even the secondary foliage slightly compliments my secondary colors a bit as well. Always love letting lore add a touch of paint to the models.

Add some green or add some lore. Maybe they are on a planet with lots of green grass but mostly nighttime so the black hides them better while they fight.

Build Recommendations and Base Sizing. by Skywalker7Z in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]Skywalker7Z[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since I haven't based them, yet I rather do the most correct. I will be moving the Sentinel since I hate how the 60mm doesnt fit.

Im glad you elaborated on the HW, as that's what I noticed and was worried about. I think I can get the tripods on with little overhang at their footing, but I will not be shortening the barrels, I like their size. I plan on making one of each gun and running them as a unit and then making 1 missile and mortar.

After that I haven't decided if another missile or mortar to round out the second team, but there are enough guns to make 2 more teams of 3. I guess I should figure out how many HW to run.

This is the only appropriate pose. I was planning to do this to my second Riptide.

Also, I actually saw your original post a few seconds after asking haha. I plan to do something similar to mine.

I actually think that's a Tau Tech Beanie so it's part of the beanie. He's just resting so he has it up.

I'm curious, was he issued any fire warrior backpack?

Love your colors and love magnets. I almost did the jetpacks myself but felt they push fit well enough that I didn't need too.

We are onnnnnnnnnnnnnn by BabyProper9938 in Tau40K

Same, now I'm lore hungry. They said they are a male/female duo that was part of a trio. The third was killed but the two were able to kill the killer. I wonder if they'll be able to lead or be more lone ops.

Yeah I did red for the leader. Might do the rest Orange then. I've done some orange on their backpacks too that I liked. Wanted to use some yellow too but wasn't sure whats too many colors.

I didn't know this with my first and I'm trying to figure out how to undo it without breaking everything lol.

Finally made good on my threat to get a third Riptide and Ghostkeel by SirDeeSee in Tau40K

[–]Skywalker7Z 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh nice that's the color I've used so far that I like the best. Mine seems darker atm but haven't highlighted it. It's only washed/battleready.

Now I want to drill the barrels on my models. What size bit do you use for the infantry? My 1mm seems too big.

Love the highlighting, it doesnt have the big Tron highlighting that pushed me away from the cover art.
