Thanks for all the help and input with my army!!

Took longer to paint than expected, but I made it! 

One fire warrior may have a pistol, to put me at 2000 points, exactly, but that may just be a rumor. 

Can't wait for the mayhem and fun on Sat!!

A buddy bought a knight and it only had one gatling cannon.  Now he's got 2.  Still seriously impressed with this printer, even at .05 (been printing at .02, but wasn't gonna print for 15 hours).

I am seriously considering getting an FDM printer, just for terrain.

Really was getting things going well with my photon - but it crapped out about 2 weeks ago with a weird error.

I joined the Anycubic Photon Owner group on FaceBook, and there seems to be a lot of that going around.  I guess for $400 their quality control isn't the best.

I am loving my Photon.  Although it's not running at the moment.  It's set up where I paint, and I need to paint a LOT before the OFCC...

I did make some Tau objective markers, a Space Marine that turned out to be about 30% too large, and a wound counter for my StormSurge.  Oh, and a few bolters.

Very cool, what stl are you using for the CIBs? 

I found the file on Thingiverse, after searching for a good bit.  I'll see if I can find the actual link a little later. 
Had a few options depending on the printer, different parts to glue together and stuff.  but I found the full gun printed just fine for me.

New to the group.   Got an Anycubic Photon about a month ago, loving it so far.  The detail is crazy.

So far just making a few extra cyclic ion guns for my Tau battlesuits.  Well that and D&D minis.

Don't think the repair works for a StormSurge, either.  The stratagem says Battlesuit. 

I knew about the repair drones, but didn't realize the shield drones didn't work. 

Maybe have to swap the extra 4 out for some markerlight drones or something.  Hmmm....

Right.  Drop the Riptide, and keep the one Stormsurge.

Use the Riptide points to add some Pathfinders (if I buy more) and troops (if I buy another starter box).

Don't have a huge collection, so my options are kinda limited.

I'm the Tau guy in question.  I'm new to the group, and new to Warhammer (about a year?). 

I am considering dropping the RipTide and buying some more pathfinders and maybe another start collecting box.  I do love the markerlights...

Any thoughts?  Would that make it more OFCC friendly?
