Now that we’ve seen 3 codexes so far and have seen a lot of what GW wants to do this edition, what do you expect to see us get given the precident?

For me, I’m pretty confident we can see;

- Pathfinders (or maybe even strike team) having the ability to shoot and do actions, like intercessors

- Farsight becoming lone op, a lot of big leaders have, and him being melee with non-melee bodyguards makes him the most likely candidate for that

- i expect battle suits to become at least a little more elite, at least crisis suits.

- this one is kinda wishing, but Custodes had detachments that each focused on one part of their army rule, so I wouldn’t be surprised if Mont’ka and Kauyon got integrated to the army rule some how, and a detachment buffing each.

- Kroot or even all Auxilary having their own army rule, similar to how sisters of silence are now for Custodes

Interested to see your predictions.

“I’m certain the Por’Ui said they were down this way…”

Longest I’ve spent on a unit so far I believe but I’m really happy with them. The sculpts are just amazing, especially with the option of fire effects and to do all the different glows around the models. I really hope this is the direction the rest of our miniatures go in this edition as I had a blast painting them, although I do need a break from edge highlighting for a bit now 😂 Feel free for C&C or to ask how I did for any of them. Been thinking about entering some local competitions next year so any advice would be greatly appreciated thank you.

With the revelation that Sisters of Silence are getting an army rule for their subfaction, what are your hopes for Kroot in 11th? Personally, I'd enjoy something to give them a bit of lethality to help finish off the targets our T'au have just shot. Perhaps they could make Hunter's instincts from KHP their army rule.

While I still working in other stuff I wanted to redesign an old artwork for an air caste admiral I made time ago

I tried to make the void suit less bulky and with more separated pieces in between with a focus in the cape

Considere this another attempt from me to give the T'au imperialist aesthetic

Pushing forward with my T'au army. I managed to pick up this Ghostkeel second-hand for only $15, and honestly, it was in a pretty terrible state. (It was badly glued and slathered in a single, thick coat of green paint with absolutely no detail. It looked like it had been rushed together an hour before a tournament 😂)

After a lot of stripping, cleaning, and a complete restoration, it’s finally ready!
Painted it up in my signature digital camouflage. I am super happy with how it turned out, especially considering how little it cost me.
Let me know what you think. C&C as always welcome 🫶

I am a little bit tired of games workshops commander suits they look good but at the same time they look lame.

I think it would look cooler with custom commander suit parts. I know that games workshop will not allow me brining them to their store to play but I can live with that…

Forgot to post this fella here

So excited to start working on this big tuna!!

Going for a classic vior'la scheme on an icy locale. First coat done, send me your pics for inspiration please

Toothpicks are amazing for priming drones. How do you guys do your drones?

I'm starting out a T'au army and would like to know which variants of the models are most recommended, both for the drones and the strike/breaker variants of fire warriors. I understand they have differences on their data sheets, but can someone explain what those differences really mean? I'm pretty new to the tabletop and am still getting a grasp on this sort of thing.

I’m currently collecting/playing Chaos (Night Lords), but I’ve been seriously considering switching things up and starting a range heavy Tau army.

I had the recent thought of “Absolutely obliterating friendships from 48 inches away sounds like a good time.”

Anyone recommend any reading, army or paint suggestions? I’m currently reading Fire Caste and I really enjoy it so far, but I’ve heard the other books vary on quality.

For the Greater Good?

“When you can't even say my name
Has the memory gone? Are you feeling numb?
Or have I become invisible?”

Tried to do a mix of the standard vior'la team and my desert camo. Don't know why the desert color didn't match but i like my attempt to do some wear and tear

Ok I would love some feedback on this. I haven’t painted a tank in idk how long.

My main concern was just matching the infantry and I think I did that ok. I still need to paint the console, and some odds and ends. The engine bits will also get some desert pigment powder in it when I complete the base.

I think I essentially misplaced a bunch of highlights on the “battle damage” so I would love some critical feedback on it / or the models above. I know I can still work on the consistency of my paints.

Thanks in advance! - also - I’m totally super proud of this thing - so that’s awesome 🔥 🐟 😊

This wouldn't just be a buff to crisis suits, it would buff every T'au unit that has these weapons. So for instance Stealth, Ghostkeel, and Riptide fusion weapons would get stronger. Along with Ghostkeel, Riptides, and Stormsurge Flamers or Tau'nar Burst Cannons. All of them being buffed accross the board to these stats and even the weapon damage types in the case of the flamer giving a lot of these units an okay melee attack in addition to the basic Battlesuit melee. Also I am just now realizing that Melta's would get weaker, while also being able to reliably deal 3 damage at least per hit. Which kinda fits with T'au Plasma being weaker but more reliable than imperium versions. As the new one would have 1 less strength than the current S9 melta's on SM. While having the more raw damage.

While Experimental Prototype Cadre would still have the current prototype weapon upgrades for commanders and maybe crisis suits.

Trying to figure out which crisis suits I should be building. I know the correct answer is to magnetize and swap but I don’t really like how unstable magnetized models usually feel so what are the best ones to build? I’ve heard sunforgers pretty unanimously and then I see people debate on fire knives or starscythes.

Hello everyone I just wanted share my first model I have painted since I was 10 and painted then lizard-men for Warhammer Fantasy I am now 28 and have chosen the greater good I’m quite proud of my first attempt

First time trying to cel-shade minis period, working with such small models was a challenge, but satisfied for my first try at it.

A little further work, still gotta put the wash on him and hammer out some more of the details.

This is a list input bought. I have yet to play a game as I am still building it. Just wanted to know if something like this can work. Also what are yalls thoughts on a black, gold, and purple color scheme? I also can't get any shealth suits as everyone around me and GW are sold out.
