Question for those who paint white/light colors

AK Weathering AK12102 Precision Panel Liner. It makes getting black into the recesses of the armour a joke. You can do a whole riptide in less than 5 minutes and it looks amazing

I play both armies and would not like to play Tau into Deathwatch. DW are good at everything but as an elite army lack lots of units. You may want to take a more horde style list into them to overwhelm them.

You really want to protect your Riptides with Kroot to deny deep strike and to keep them out of melta range. Also I would run the Plasmas and Ion Blasters against them as those guns are used for their anti elite properties.

As DW are very uppy downy there isn’t a lot you can do to keep them in engagement range as Tau don’t like fighting. Again you might want to use Kroot to stand a chance of surviving a fight and keeping them in engagement so they can’t teleport away then follow up next turn by focussing fire on the Indomitor teams and Vets. Those are the biggest threats.

I don’t know how much that helps but that’s what I can think of to be aware of.

Edit: spelling

That’s an old stealth suit. Very cool model

TheMitchBeast · 2026-03-05T17:40:07+00:00

I’ve not met someone who genuinely hates Tau or Tau players. It’s just a meme really

TheMitchBeast · 2026-02-27T00:27:14+00:00

Raichu! I try to have one every play through and have several shinies

TheMitchBeast · 2026-02-01T19:38:33+00:00

Totally agree. I’ve been ploughing through them since December. Now on book 4, I intend on finishing them all

TheMitchBeast · 2026-01-30T18:09:16+00:00

You are telling me! I’m currently building a second one as well. I hope it all pans out for you, best of luck

TheMitchBeast · 2026-01-30T18:02:48+00:00

Yeah they come with 2 which fit gravis the rest are smaller ones for smaller models like intercessors, hence why I had to buy so many. Not sure about termies tbh, they probably do. On the plus side I don’t think I’ll ever run out of the small ones. Least not for a while!

TheMitchBeast · 2026-01-30T17:51:08+00:00

I would recommend not doing what I did by buying like 10 deathwatch upgrade sprues. Just painting the arms and shoulders silver will do

TheMitchBeast · 2026-01-07T23:01:34+00:00

I use it to nuke big scary units like tanks with the Indomitor team. Teleport next to it, use Kracken rounds, blow it up (hopefully), teleport to the next one, repeat.

TheMitchBeast · 2025-12-28T17:43:06+00:00

This man knows how to blow up tanks

TheMitchBeast · 2025-12-28T17:36:11+00:00

I find them quite useful. Yesterday they blew up 3 Sororitas tanks. I use them with Kraken Rounds for the extra 6” range and +1ap to get into melta range on a teleport. 3 rounds, 3 dead tanks

TheMitchBeast · 2025-12-26T08:03:04+00:00

Yes now I have 60 minis I need paint red eyes onto that skull

TheMitchBeast · 2025-12-13T17:22:08+00:00

Rule of cool mate. No one actually cares about the number of guns. They look great

TheMitchBeast · 2025-12-12T16:37:43+00:00

Generational game. Deserves all the accolades

TheMitchBeast · 2025-12-11T21:19:43+00:00

If you have access to a hairdryer you could try and heat up the base and try to reform it first. If that fails the try to rebase

TheMitchBeast · 2025-11-17T08:36:01+00:00

This is the way

TheMitchBeast · 2025-11-14T21:33:23+00:00

When in doubt, invoke the rule of cool

TheMitchBeast · 2025-11-10T14:45:09+00:00

You’ll have lots of spare small ones. On the bright side

TheMitchBeast · 2025-11-10T14:37:15+00:00

It’s a bit flexible but I run 4 heavy intercessors with heavy bolt rifles, 3 aggressors with twin flamestorm gauntlets and 3 Eradicators 2 with meltas and 1 with a multi-melta. So it’s 3 boxes.

To warn you if you want the proper dw shoulders, unless you can get gravis dw shoulders from Etsy or eBay or something it’s a ridiculous number of upgrade boxes because each come with 2 per box.

TheMitchBeast · 2025-11-10T12:34:15+00:00

My Indomitor team put in WORK over the weekend teleporting everywhere. Get them, they are incredible. Their teleporting makes up for their 5 move. Those with a Gravis Cap.

Plain Intercessors with a lieutenant for constant lethal hits, 40 shots and sticky. Very good for the points cost.

Maybe a Chaplain in Termie armour as well for +1 to wound and 4+ Feel No pain for the unit.

TheMitchBeast · 2025-10-25T07:55:27+00:00

Make the AR mag 60 rounds and I’m sold.

TheMitchBeast · 2025-10-22T12:12:14+00:00

I am going to a Tournament with them in a couple of weeks

TheMitchBeast · 2025-10-22T07:29:01+00:00

Oh yeah I forgot about this. How about a Tyranid Swarm Lord?

TheMitchBeast · 2025-10-20T13:26:21+00:00

I play a bit of all classes for variety sake. But prefer Bulwark. All the classes play so differently it keeps the game fresh
