The Pounder Posted September 12, 2018 Author Share Posted September 12, 2018 Thanks Triszin! I’m looking forward to seeing Scorch! I’m going to be off the T’au for a bit, I’ll be playing games with them but I have a need for something a bit different. So with that in mind I’m going to be working on some Death Skulls (Orks in blue ftw!)

The Pounder Posted November 12, 2018 Author Share Posted November 12, 2018 After a few very fun (and mostly victorious) games I'm back on the T'au in a big way!I've taken an army shot and the progress on my first team of Breachers. Tau Army Pic Breacher Team Breacher Team Breacher Team Breacher Team Breacher Team Next up will be a team of Pathfinders and however many Drones I can scrounge up from the bitz box!

The Pounder Posted November 13, 2018 Author Share Posted November 13, 2018 Thanks Mithril. I’m trying to get an Apocalypse sized force together so expect more to come!

Bryan Blaire Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 These guys look great, Jud, though I am a bit biased toward dark green. :D I like the ochre markings, they add some additional interest! Maybe in the name of camo, a grey panel or two on the different armor types for the grey rocks on the bases? It would also add some interest and break up the overall green tones some.

Panzer Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Kinda wish I would've gone with this tone of green for my T'au as well ... then again I'm about to repaint them anyway so maybe I will still do that after all. :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/345077-juds-ksymyen-sept-hunter-cadre/page/5/#findComment-5191286 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pounder Posted November 14, 2018 Author Share Posted November 14, 2018 Bryan Blaire, thanks very much! It seems Green is the new black! I’m not one to go back and change things once they’re done, that said, I could add some grey in the mix on my Stealth element once I get it going? sfPanzer, go for it! I wanted to try and make my T’au look like a real world military force. Hence the green. Right, time to start the Pathfinders and raid the bitz box!

teku Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Like them! Not much great Green T'au around. Any idea if you will be adding Riptides?

The Pounder Posted November 15, 2018 Author Share Posted November 15, 2018 Thanks teku! Funnily enough my next purchase will be 2 Riptides! I think it’s time, hopefully Chapter Approved will point the way as to how to arm them.

The Pounder Posted November 19, 2018 Author Share Posted November 19, 2018 OK, I was going through my bitz box whilst bored and decided after building a load of Drones that I had 2 bodies leftfrom the Hammerhead sprues. I thought that I'd try and make use of them. Now I already have 2 Fireblades and didn't wantto build anymore. I flicked through the codex for ideas and found the entry for the Farsight Marksmen (characters with Markerlights)After a little while of playing around a bit they slowly came together now I don't usually post WIP but wanted to see what you guys thought.I'm unsure if the scopes are too big? Or if I can get away with it? Tau Farsight Marksman Conversions Tau Farsight Marksman Conversions I'm pretty happy with them but thought I'd seek advice before priming them ready for painting.

Pearson73 Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Nice idea with the marksmen, I do feel that they would benefit from crouched positions due to the size of the weapons, but dealing with odds and ends doesn't always allow such freedom. As it is, I think the scopes are just about alright. Really good looking force, by the way, the green is just the right shade and the ochre works well with it, as do the blue lenses and screens. Very professional look to them all, a nice clean battle group.

The Pounder Posted November 22, 2018 Author Share Posted November 22, 2018 Thanks Pearson73! They would look better crouching or even lying down but I used what I had to hand. I decided to remove the scopes, they were just too big.After scouring my bitz box I found the perfect part for the scopes! I ended up using the end of a Railrifle.

Panzer Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Much better this way. The scope on your first build really was way too clunky.

Pearson73 Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 The new scopes fit much better, much more streamlined. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/345077-juds-ksymyen-sept-hunter-cadre/page/5/#findComment-5196988 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pounder Posted November 27, 2018 Author Share Posted November 27, 2018 Thanks guys! I'm really pleased with them now. May search through to try and make a third!

teku Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Shouldn't Marksmen be on 40mm bases? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/345077-juds-ksymyen-sept-hunter-cadre/page/5/#findComment-5201686 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pounder Posted November 28, 2018 Author Share Posted November 28, 2018 I dunno tbh! These are the bases I had to hand so I went with it! I play in a very laidback group so I shouldn’t think it would be a problem.

Panzer Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Yeah normally it would be a 40mm base but it honestly shouldn't matter considering that Fireblades are better and stand on a 25mm base so if someone complains about the base you could just play them as Fireblades instead lol Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/345077-juds-ksymyen-sept-hunter-cadre/page/5/#findComment-5202127 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pounder Posted January 4, 2019 Author Share Posted January 4, 2019 Happy New Years everyone! Finally broke my painters block. Got this Broadside for Christmas and I had a free day so progress at last! Tau Broadside Tau Broadside Tau Broadside Tau Broadside Tau Broadside Really happy with it, not sure how great it will be in game but I had to get a 3rd Heavy Suppport slot so I can run a Brigade Detachment and already had 2 Hammerheads. Given the pts reduction I just had to! Next up some Stealth Suits.

Panzer Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 One of the best models in the T'au range (with the HRR at least) and you executed it nicely! About how it does in-game, according to my experience you either need lots of Markerlight support or multiple to make a real dent in tanks.
