The Pounder Posted May 21 Author Share Posted May 21 Finally found time to work on the Kroot! This is a Flesh Shaper from the Kroot Hunting Pack. Another incredible sculpt from the new range. It seems the higher the rank of the Kroot, the more clothes they get! So much fun to build and paint because it has so many different textures to paint. Definitely one of my favourites from the range. Enough preamble here’s the pics: T’au Empire Kroot Flesh Shaper T’au Empire Kroot Flesh Shaper T’au Empire Kroot Flesh Shaper I think next up for the Kroot it’s time to work on the naked masses! About time I did some rank and file.

The Pounder Posted May 22 Author Share Posted May 22 Cheers mate, I think I’m going to need it! I reckon I’ll do 10 Carnivores then the Krootox Rider with Repeater Cannon should keep me motivated!

MithrilForge Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Great idea...Bite size chunks (as the Kroot would probably say ) Look forward to seeing both !!

The Pounder Posted June 22 Author Share Posted June 22 I’ve finally managed to complete half of my first team of Kroot Carnivores! Seriously, the amount of detail on these sculpts is incredible especially when you think they’re rank and file. There’s so many pouches, knives and slabs of meat etc. My personal favourite is the Kroot Hound pup! Here’s some pics: Kroot Carnivores Team Kroot Carnivores Team Kroot Carnivores Team Kroot Carnivores Team So that’s the first part of my vow complete! I’m going to do the 3 Zoanthropes next but will be back with a Krootox Rider soon! Thanks for looking!

MithrilForge Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 Awesome work brother !! they look fantastic , very clean work and so much detail (you’re right about the high amount of detail on the models ) look forward to the next instalment, after your tyranid vow Cheers, Mithril The Pounder 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/382308-urban-t%E2%80%99au-in-the-snow/page/3/#findComment-6047002 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheArtilleryman Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 Stunning as usual. As always, gobsmacked as to how your models stand up to so such close-up photography and still look so precise and with not a single stroke looking out of place or bit of paint looking thick. Brilliant.

The Pounder Posted June 24 Author Share Posted June 24 Thanks @MithrilForge! I was getting the paints out for the Zoanthropes and realised how few colours I use compared to the Kroot! So should be able to knock them out at speed! @TheArtilleryman, thanks very much! Really happy you like my style. As for the close ups, I use a Magnifying Lamp so it makes it easier to see the details!

The Pounder Posted July 18 Author Share Posted July 18 I’m planning on fielding a Coldstar and Enforcer Commander in my Sunforge and Fireknife teams. My question to any experienced Aun among us is, which Commander to attach to which Team?

My question to any experienced Aun among us is, which Commander to attach to which Team? Personally, I like the Coldstar with the Sunforge suits. Getting the extra movement plus assault is so critical for getting them into their tiny 6" melta range. I also like the Enforcer with the Firekives. Since they don't have shields anymore, the -1AP against them really helps their survivability. Also, great job on all those Kroot, they're looking really good.

The Pounder Posted July 24 Author Share Posted July 24 Was good to see your progress in your thread! Making the most of the kids being away? As promised here is my first Team of Sunforge Battle Suits! I’m still working on my neatness but I’m happy with how these turned out. I have continued with my Urban scheme though I used the T’au Ochre more to depict the ranks of the team. Here’s the pics: T’au Empire Sunforge Crisis Team T’au Empire Sunforge Crisis Team T’au Empire Sunforge Crisis Team T’au Empire Sunforge Crisis Team T’au Empire Sunforge Crisis Team T’au Empire Sunforge Crisis Team I go on holiday for three weeks at the end of the week so hopefully I can finish my vow before I leave!

The Pounder Posted August 24 Author Share Posted August 24 Well I had more time today than I thought! I spent my time wisely and finished my Lone Spear! The inspiration behind this was that of the Great Crested Newt. After all it’s a Kroot riding a giant salamander.
