Battleforc...Drathmere...let me think here a moment. Battleforce + 12 more Fire Warriors + 2 Skyrays...what points level?<br /><br />Regarless of points, the Crisis suit has to be your commander because you need at least one of those. I'd kit him out like a fire knife suit. Make him a Shas'el and give him Missile Pods, Plasma Rifle and Targeting Array. Hard-wired multitracker. 3 stealth suits should be given burstcannons, upgrade one to a team leader, give him a markerlight (they have relentless) and give him two markerdrones (you'll have to convert a gun drone into one). 12 kroot, good to go. 2 squads of fire warriors one in Devilfish with disruption pods and multitracker. <br />Make one skyray a hammerhead with railgun and the other a skyray, you'll need those seeker missiles for high strength shots. <br /><br />This way, your stealth suits can mark targets for the skyray and stay aorund 30 inches away, in safety from their stealth rule. They can move, shoot markerlights, then jump again. The rest of your army moves, shoots, moves. Kroot can outflank or be used to protect your fire warriors on foot. Deploy them in a wood for 3+ cover or 2+ going to ground. Them and the fire warriors hold home base and your commander, hammerhead and devilfih move out to attack. Stealth suits hang back with skyray providing support via markerlights. <br /><br />Its not an unbeatable list but it is playable with what you got.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11680110160882762433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2896607568583881271.post-32840636529136781302010-01-19T20:35:32.212-07:002010-01-19T20:35:32.212-07:00Old Shatter Hands, any thoughts on a small tau lis...Old Shatter Hands, any thoughts on a small tau list? I am having a terrible time list building and really just want to get to painting. Iv'e got a battleforce, two sky ray kits, and another fire warriors box. I am not used to a codex where all the options seem to be non-bit upgrades! I'd like to paint with a list in mind, so any help is much appreciated.John Stieninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01860350974000948346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2896607568583881271.post-82432594336020119992010-01-19T16:27:42.823-07:002010-01-19T16:27:42.823-07:00I used a sponge from one of the blisters and just ...I used a sponge from one of the blisters and just sponged chainmail on.

I simply painted little chips of mithril silver on the hard-edges. How did you do yours?Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11680110160882762433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2896607568583881271.post-83022898981651122772010-01-19T10:16:54.179-07:002010-01-19T10:16:54.179-07:00Thank ONI!

I am now kind of book crazy, and have dry fitted another one to my rhino.....I know I shouldn't do it! It makes the thing look like a weird book mobile, but I just love the recipe.<br /><br />1) Prime white<br />2) clean coat of gryhonne sepia<br />3) controlled develan mud just in the creases and around ropes<br />4) then paint the pages.<br /><br />What do you think about adding all kinds of purity seals to the bikes? Do you think it would be going too far?John Stieninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01860350974000948346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2896607568583881271.post-18732963055338401752010-01-19T08:11:13.933-07:002010-01-19T08:11:13.933-07:00Right on, those are awesome.
