Are we on the same page here .. or is this a tongue in cheek joke of saying stealth suits even when there's nothing there... ... although in saying that "Pounder get some stealth suits and paint em up" , apparently they (XV25's) from what I've read may be a better way of providing guided units and forward observers in 10th ,of which I think last edition people used to spam tetra's for this ... I'm definitely going to get another unit of Stealth suits (they're quite cheap actually) to add to my Future roster...

MithrilForge Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 @The Pounder - Any plans for Painting "T'AU/Kroot" over the Easter break ?... Cheers, M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pounder Posted March 28 Author Share Posted March 28 That’s the plan! I’m hoping that my box will arrive on Saturday. Once it does I’ll be all over it! I want to start with a Krootox Rampager! That way I’ll have my colour scheme nailed down for the rest of the Kroot. MithrilForge and Focslain 1 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pounder Posted April 17 Author Share Posted April 17 It’s been ages since I’ve added to this thread! (I’ve completed my AoS project so no excuses) I’ve finished my first Krootox Rampager. These kits are stunning and huge! Can’t wait to get cracking on these full time. Kroot Rampager Kroot Rampager Kroot Rampager Kroot Rampager Kroot Rampager With the imposing size and angry looking face I thought the Krootox looked like a bull so I went with red eyes to add to the furious look. I’m also happy with how the base came out, not sure how urban it looks but still I feel it’s effective. Thanks for looking and please do leave a comment or give advice.

MithrilForge Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Rampager Looks Awesome Jud, The Colours you chose create a Cool tone to the Model the red eyes are just right !! There would be grass and mud on the Outskirts of an Urban environment (parks etc) perhaps adding something here and there to suggest urban like paving stones or a ruined Girder or destroyed objects, road signs... The easiest way I think would to make a half/corner or just a side part of your bases the edge of a path or road using plasticard or card that's done as chequer plating...and run the mud /grime up to overlap it... like I did here on my Orks... but with less plating in your case... Keep up the Great work and i look forward to seeing More Kroot from you!! Cheers, Mithril The Pounder 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pounder Posted April 18 Author Share Posted April 18 Many thanks @MithrilForge! I definitely think you’re right, the base needs a little bit more work. I have an old piece of damaged terrain not doing anything useful so I can break that into bits for the bases. Yours looks great so I’ll take inspiration from that! Hopefully it won’t be too long before another update. MithrilForge 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MithrilForge Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 An old piece of terrain sounds like the right tool for the job here , look forward to seeing how they turn out ! cheers, M The Pounder 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pounder Posted April 19 Author Share Posted April 19 Thanks @MithrilForge! I’ve built and based my second Rampager and will be working on it sometime next week. MithrilForge 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearson73 Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Nice work on the Kroot! I agree with @MithrilForge about some small additions to the base. MithrilForge and The Pounder 1 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pounder Posted April 30 Author Share Posted April 30 Well I’ve managed to complete my second Rampager! I reckon the basing is as I’d like it now. I really wanted to add some Urban elements and still use my tufts. I feel the balance is about right now. Thanks to @MithrilForge and @Pearson73 for the honest advice. Here’s the pics: Krootox Rampager Krootox Rampager Krootox Rampager Thanks again for the ongoing support!

TheArtilleryman Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 (edited) Really nice work! I love your shading/highlighting style. It’s like one of those photo filters where it turns the photo into a painting. Really individual. Edited May 2 by TheArtilleryman The Pounder and MithrilForge 1 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MithrilForge Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Outstanding work The base looks really good !! you've nailed the urban overgrown rubble look quite impressed with the way the Rampager looks to be in Mid motion, well executed use of tying him into the new look base. This army is going to look awesome altogether on the table... We want more ...Work Faster and as stated above your models do have that photo turned into cartoon image to them (in a good way!)

The Pounder Posted May 1 Author Share Posted May 1 Cheers lads! I wasn’t aware I had a style! Just the way I go about things. @MithrilForge I’ll endeavour to work quickly! Not enough hours in a day! I’ve built and based the next Rampager, hopefully the weather will be accommodating so I can get it primed. MithrilForge 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pounder Posted May 8 Author Share Posted May 8 Finally finished my first milestone for this project! I’ve completed my first unit of Krootox Rampagers!! These were a joy to work on. Beautiful sculpts and relatively easy to build. I’m really happy with the paint job and the basing. Here’s the pics: T’au Empire Krootox Rampagers T’au Empire Krootox Rampagers T’au Empire Krootox Rampagers I’m thinking of painting a couple of characters next. Thanks for looking!

The Pounder Posted May 14 Author Share Posted May 14 Thanks @MithrilForge! Yeah they’re all pretty brutal looking! I just love the Tribal/Feral look to them, you can really tell GW have done their research into different cultures. I’ve been really busy of late but I’ve managed to finish my War Shaper! T’au Empire Kroot War Shaper T’au Empire Kroot War Shaper T’au Empire Kroot War Shaper T’au Empire Kroot War Shaper Can’t say enough good things about this range so much so that I bought 2 boxes of the Hunting Pack boxes! They’ll form the backbone of my T’au force for now. Atm my list is: 2 Squads of 20 Carnivores War Shaper Flesh Shaper Lone Spear Trail Shaper 2 Krootox Riders 2 Squads of 3 Krootox Rampagers Piranha Sky Ray Crisis Sunforge Team Comes in at 1250pts now all I have to do is paint it up!
