elmo Posted September 14, 2018 Author Share Posted September 14, 2018 Finished the 6 x DS8 tactical support turrets (magnetised), 6 x MV36 Guardian Drones and 3 x MV1 Gun Drones. Next up a pre-primed XV8 (old style) and then there is a backlog of primed vehicles (2 x Skyrays, 1 x Hammerhead and 1 x Devilfish) to do before November. brother_b and Bryan Blaire 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmo Posted September 21, 2018 Author Share Posted September 21, 2018 And just finished the last of the pre-primed XV8s... Moving on to some DF/HH/Skyrays next And as I had an hour spare and it was not worth starting anything new I got some bases ready for more drones ;) brother_b 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmo Posted December 26, 2018 Author Share Posted December 26, 2018 Been a while since I posted anything T'au but that will soon change... I am currently in the middle of some ravenwing but once they are done I will be starting 2019 with a bit of a bang... My kids bought me another Ta'unar between them and this one has both the pulse driver and missile system. I am expecting to start assembly in Feb but will be doing some prep work this week :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antique_nova Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Except for the flock. What materials did you use for the drone bases and where can you buy them? elmo 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmo Posted April 6, 2019 Author Share Posted April 6, 2019 Except for the flock. What materials did you use for the drone bases and where can you buy them? Sorry - I have been lax lately and did not see your post... Here is a link to my How to the system is the same for all bases less the large ones which get the bark stuck on too...

elmo Posted April 24, 2019 Author Share Posted April 24, 2019 The Ta'unar has been primed in black and the base colour (Army Painter Angel Green) has been sprayed on after masking off the bits which are remaining black. All ready for the ETL to start now :) This is its older brother so you can check out how the end state should look... brother_b 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elmo Posted June 30, 2019 Author Share Posted June 30, 2019 The Ta'unar is now looking something like a Suit rather than a collection of bits The hips and legs have been reinforced with 2mm brass rod. Just the weapons to do and it will be complete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmo Posted July 7, 2019 Author Share Posted July 7, 2019 As the Ta'unar has now been finished and the display cupboard needed a dust and just out of curiosity on how many points I actually had painted up (still more to do :( ) here are a few photos of the collection so far. Excuse the crummy photos as I am not set up to take army shots.. Points wise there is approximately 15,500pts although that does not include suit support choices so it is on the low side. I have been collecting tau since 2008 and a lot of it is eBay rescues and box deals List wise: Aun'Va with 2 bodyguards 3 x Ethereals 3 x Cadre Fireblades Commander in XV84 Crisis Battlesuit Commander in XV85 Enforcer Battlesuit Darkstrider Longstrike Kroot Shaper 44 x Kroot Carnivores 8 x Kroot Hounds 3 x Krootox Riders 6 x Strike teams (10 x FW + 1 x DS8 turret + Guardian Drone) 3 x Firesight Marksman 9 x MV71 Sniper Drones 2 x XV104 Riptide Battlesuit 1 x XV109 Y'vahra Battlesuit 6 x XV25 Stealth Battlesuit teams (2 x BC, 1 x FB) 1 x XV15 team 29 x XV8 Crisis Battlesuits 5 x XV8 Crisis Bodyguards (XV89) 3 x XV9 Hazardsuits XV95 Ghostkeel Battlesuit 7 x Pathfinders (2 x Rail rifle) 2 x MB3 Recon Drone 2 x MV31 Pulse Accelerator Drone 2 x MV33 Grav-inhibitor Drone 63 x MV1 Gun Drone 22 x MV4 Shield Drone 19 x MV7 Marker Drone 2 x Tetra Scout Speeder 6 x TX4 Piranhas 6 x Vespid Stingwings 2 x Heavy Gun Drone 4 x TX7 Hammerhead Gunship 1 x TX78 Sky Ray Gunship 5 x XV88 Broadside Battlesuits (with 2 x MV8 Missile Drone each) 1 x XV88-2 Broadside Battlesuit 4 x Barracuda AX-5-2 2 x DX6 Remora Stealth Drone 1 x Tiger Shark AX-1-0 4 x TY7 Devilfish 1 x KV128 Stormsurge 2 x KX139 Ta'unar Supremacy Armour 5 x Drone Sentry Turrets 1 x Bunker 1 x Remote Sensor Tower brother_b, Bryan Blaire and Panzer 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
