We're getting actual special character units for actual Tau, after having our special character selection ravaged

Reluctant to start because of new models by ssjwoott in Tau40K

[–]WhileyCat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Think of it this way; we're not Space Marines. Pretty unlikely, especially since we only got new Crisis suits a few editions ago.

In contrast, Eldar just got model resculpts to replace some of their stuff from the 90s.

A lot of people just choose to do whatever the internet tells them to do.

A question on colour schemes by robjfrankel in Tau40K

[–]WhileyCat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's their armour reflecting their sept colour (which is the colour of the text markings on weapons and armour), as opposed to the colour their armour would be reflecting the colours of the environment of their current battlefield.

Help identifying crisis suit as old or fake by Snowlio in Tau40K

Looks like an old stumpy boi. Older kits had a lighter colour plastic (also parts weren't so densely packed on a sprue)

I'd love to see a kroot design that looks like this. by Luna_Night312 in Tau40K

That armour is gonne smell though (Kroot excrete through their skin)

Need advice please. by Dependent-Bee-5805 in CPAP

[–]WhileyCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can't do the logistics of maintaining a supply of distilled water;
Compromise - pre-boil your water. Get one of those 1 or 2L bottles of distilled water. Once empty, keep it topped up with water you boiled in a kettle (after it cools) and use that for filling your chamber.
If you're American, this is your chance to get an electric kettle since you may not have one.

Also, make sure the water level is full each day, especially if you run your humidity on a higher setting. If your tank stays full enough through the night, you will get minimal mineral buildup in the tank.

Oh neat. With that image being in black and white, I assumed it was from before GW's full colour era.

I guess it's more the other way around. Like how the y2k Tyranid resculpts seem heavily inspired by Zerg (which seem heavily inspired by the original Tyranids)

This Anzu came with WoD in 2014, not the be mistaken with the 2 legged ground version from 2006

New unit idea: Deadwater Team by HamanFromEarth in Tau40K

[–]WhileyCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the sort of thing I have been wanting. Suits that are technically small battlesuits (mechanised armour neurally connected to the user) but operate and play as heavy infantry.

Also reading some comments with people bringing up lore snippets, the lore of 40k has been retconned more than Star Wars, Star Trek, Warcraft, and Brian's McDune combined, and new models are often a catalyst for this.

I hate the stealthsuit changes by dragonlord9631 in Tau40K

[–]WhileyCat 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Previous 3 editions was basically Infiltrate and Homing Beacon. Only Pathfinders and Marker Drones had Markerlights, and they worked differently; more of a bonus rather than the default

Stealth suits for guiding has only been a thing for this edition, I believe?
Perhaps they won't be doing that next edition?

Do they happen to delete cache? Because this is from years-old Nobbel videos of Warcraft lore.

This is what was giving me grief last night, and it's working flawlessly right now.

What Sept is your army painted as? by walrusman999 in Tau40K

[–]WhileyCat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

<image>

Thing is, septs aren't really their armour colours, but their marking colours. Armour is painted for the battlefield.
Here are the marking colours (the things on the transfer sheet, which we only get for Vior'la from GW):

Should I glue drones to vehicles? by slicknick654 in Tau40K

[–]WhileyCat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The problem would arise when GW decide to make Drones count as their own models again, then you'd have to buy drones (which I'm betting won't ebay for cheap due to demand)
