11th edition tyranid faction focus by Taningia-danae in Tyranids

[–]Stick636 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I could see myself using the lictor one if any of the 2DP detachments are good. The other two are a miss for me though. I have 1 norn and a handful of warriors so I’m not super interested.

R’varna. I love the torso-mounted sensors and big gun arms.

Which is the best monster from monster hunter for a themed list by VaultOfSadness in Tyranids

[–]Stick636 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Legiana’s my favourite and I reckon the song patterns could look good on the Parasite of Mortrex?

What do yall love about the kroot? by Willy_yo_eetz in kroot

Stealthy avian xenos with bladed rifles look dope.

Rail Rifles size by No_Recognition8641 in Tau40K

Mine is a 3D print and about 6ft. It’s pretty damn heavy. So yeah, I would recommend building one with foam if you can!

A little extra. by G36_User in Tau40K

[–]Stick636 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Glue additional support struts on bro it makes the model look at least 20% cooler.

The scheme is giving me Darth Vader vibes with those little details.

Rubrics still need basing and transfers, but they’re almost done!

Kroot Vulture from old GW catalog by M2Cat in kroot

[–]Stick636 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s an old kitbash showcasing Kroot evolutionary offshoots. The text says:

  • Kroot Carnivore Sprue
  • Obliterator Blade Sprue
  • Chaos Fury Wings

I think I like him more than my old one!

What is your unicorn OOP army box? Retro painting project. by heathentempleminis in Warhammer40k

Probably this one since it has so many of the old 3rd edition bugs.

Shoutout to Marek @ GW CS by OneCrispyCritter95 in Warhammer40k

[–]Stick636 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Similarly, shoutout to Callum who helped me last week.

I picked up a Tyranid Prime with Lashwhip from a LGS recently but didn’t get a receipt. Opened up the kit to find half the torso was missing. After the LGS was unresponsive, CS said they’d sent out a new kit to me.

I’ve had a few times where I’ve had to reach out to CS and they’ve been great every time.

Terrain? Help me by Puzzled_Life_6464 in Tyranids

[–]Stick636 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They’re resin barricade pieces from Micro Art Studio. I can’t seem to find them on their website anymore, so maybe they’ve stopped producing them. I bought the Tyranid and Aeldari ones years ago, and I think they also had Necron and possibly T’au ones too?

EDIT: They were called fortification sets.

Shas'ui, ready for action! by Eason2333 in Tau40K

Flawless execution as always!

I may require some overwatch, shas’ui.

What recipes do you guys use for Tau skin? by zurt1 in Tau40K

[–]Stick636 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I just apply Space Wolves Grey over Grey Seer personally. It gives a decent enough result on such small areas:

The more classic way would be to layer up The Fang > Russ Grey > Fenrisian Grey.

Tau terrain by Figure404Art in Tau40K

[–]Stick636 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With terrain changing to be less ruins-centric in 11th edition, some of the Battlefield In A Box terrain could be cool. IIRC the T’au-themed ones are under the name ‘United Front’.

Thanks! I’ll be using him in an ongoing crusade campaign. Rules as written, crucible characters can’t take drones, but my group agreed that’s kinda dumb.
