So now I dont own a tau army and do own a chaos army. Again. For the 4th time. So does that mean you sold your TAU? Just because they were successful...

I've never liked tau. Their looks, back story, models, everything. But I acquired a bunch in a trade. Not enough to make a decent 2k army but a decent amount and I added to them to make what I wanted. Well I played them and they kinda grew on me playwise. However my intention had always been, fix them, add to them sell/trade them. So I crushed my play group a few times, started a bidding war and got a chaos army. So now they are extremely happy, I'm kinda happy (I do love me some Magnus & Morty) and I came out way ahead on the deal (they knew they were getting the bad end of the deal but they still wanted it. I kinda didn't want chaos unless I was getting a good deal so... ehh). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPaceORK Posted January 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2019 Wow... I cant let this thread die! It's the only thing that's keeps the willingness to paint going. Mostly cause I feel ashamed after seeing so many batreps with fully painted armies... Anywhoo, same eldar opponent, same eldar list against; Nurgle! Epididymis, DP, HoN 6x plague drones 2x 30 plaguebearers Every nurgling base in existence Now the nurglings did their sneaky shenanigans and basically tied up the entire eldar army. After which the came became pretty boring. The eldars could't kill enough things. The nurglings are... well, nurglings. So the majority of the game was sitting on objectives and the eldar player realizing he couldn't score enough points or really do anything. And while the forces of nurgle got points, they really couldn't do anything either. So... Yea! I realized paint 750 of the same model will drive you insane, so I switched it to painting knights! 1 down, 5 to go... Man, that sound so much better than 33 down, 1000 to go.. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea I could do more things but I'm far to lazy. Although... maybe some actual highlights on the metal. It looks a bit flat. But keeping it simple does cut down the painting time. That guy was like 6 hours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted January 14, 2019 Report Share Posted January 14, 2019 I like it! Same basic combo as I used for my Renegade Knights with the purple and gold, tho yours is kind of lacking in fleshy bits and chitin and ichor and such 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It all started with an idea to make voodoo marines with crocodiles, voodoo fetishes, that deep south eerie magic feel. Then the back story manifested itself further with a horrible run on DoW 3 for my buddy. Now I paint everything purple & green. Painting knights is so easy! Even if they are only like 85% done they are still tabletop ready. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPaceORK Posted January 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 I almost did it! Unfortunately I dont think I can finish the 6th knight (stupid 2nd hand lancer). So my knight household is gonna be slightly smaller than expected. This guy sucked though. No chainsword, no shoulder things, messed up paint. But he turned out ok. The whole family! Currently... Probably gonna run 2 Gallants, helverin with catachans and vultures. Vultures may be nice now with so much orks running around. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tallarn Vultures, so no negatives for moving and firing heavy weapons, +1 to hit for staffing run. 43 shots, 28 hits, 18 wounds, 15 dead orks, 12 with KFF. So about 30-45 dead orks a turn. Orks are the main reason I'm taking vultures. That and they are awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is shown in that video very well. 20 guard die and take 16 orks with a strike from death or something like thst...
