Triszin Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 (edited) starting my tau, figuring out the paint scheme right now - it's based off of the Militia from Titanfall. Goal I've started: Firewarriors and breachers and all units will be mixed species, with armor sculpted on kroot and humans either in scion armor or sculpted on IG. background idea behind them: This remnant Tau force was once part of the 4th sphere expansion, when they were swallowed by the great rift they were sent to an unkown sector of space to the tau. the Ghoul star system, where space itself is distorting. Given the numerous loses the Tau took in the warp and subsequent battles when re-emerging from warp space, the casualties have caused the survivors to rethink parts of the greater good. amending or adding to them. Now any able bodied warrior for the greater good can be trained as firewarrirors, to fill in the absent ranks. A 10 man breacher team is now composed of 5 tau, 3 kroot and 2 humans, all trained together and perform up to par. this thinking goes to all branches of the military now, and the earth caste has been busy modifying interiors/chasis of the suits to accommodate other species, Kroot are now the go to pilots for the Ghost keel suits and xv25 stealth battlesuits. http://i.imgur.com/k5hu9ug.jpg?1 Edited April 17, 2020 by Triszin Doghouse, Trevak Dal, Brother Handro and 1 other 4 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panzer Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Awesome stealth effect. Doesn't look particularly stealthy but it's very interesting to look at. ;) Triszin 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triszin Posted August 21, 2017 Author Share Posted August 21, 2017 ya, was testing out an idea I had for perspective stealth, In the future I think I might make the triangles (i know i need to make these better in the future, probably with epoxy) into color gradient prisms. I like the green and tan/orange the most right now about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doghouse Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I like the effect mate especially with the yellow pillar. It has a very predator uncloaking feel to it. Triszin 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MithrilForge Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 not bad, what kind of scheme's did you have in mind militia wise?...as in whats your base suit colour and secondary colours etc greens (castellan,deathworld forest etc) are great for that Titanfall feel with yellow,orange and white all making good secondary colours... A Tau force done up like the mech's and pilots would be very awesome to see... Look forwards to seeing what comes of this!! cheers and good luck, Mithril also, these heads from Anvil might look cool on some Tau (they have that Stim pilot look ) Triszin, walter h and elmo 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panzer Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 I really wish the airburst was worth taking. A Commander with 4 AFP sounds pretty awesome. Just needs more shots at better range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 The added bitz on the Commander look pretty sweet. Just missing the shoulder pad. The Breacher with the high leg tho...LMAO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firenze Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Oh wow I like this army. I kinda made a few Titanfall styled bits in my Tau army but there still is a lot of Gundam in it XD Can wait to see where this goes. Also if you dont make a Legion Riptide with the burst cannon I shall be dissapointed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MithrilForge Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 What will the northstar colours be like? You should try to copy one of the games schemes that has your cour palette in it?, (gee I miss that mech, sniping scorches through choke points) although jump packs in titanfall2 are not quite the same as tau ones , you get shot at more instead of less!, Look fwd to seeing your work soon, Cheers, Mithril Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triszin Posted October 10, 2017 Author Share Posted October 10, 2017 @ Mithrilforge all my Tau will be painted in the Titanfall Milita Faction color scheme, Greens and browns, with orange marking ------------------------------------------- some of my tau are based, and figuring out the scheme right now. breacher team commander: (still have to build his drones) WIP Drone controller: Azekai, elmo, walter h and 1 other 4 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Krash Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 (edited) Love your fluff you should expand on it maybe a short story of there time in the Ghoul stars. Great work on the models as well. Keep it up! Krash Edited October 11, 2017 by Captain_Krash walter h and Triszin 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triszin Posted October 17, 2017 Author Share Posted October 17, 2017 I plan on it. started converting a Kroot into an ethereal, (logic behind this is the Ethereals were ambushed and dieing, so the last ethereal ordered kroot to eat there remains, so that they may take there place until they reunite with real ethereals again. also got the body for Scorch (flame ghsotkeel) and northstar (boradside) put together, will post pics later this week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
