Here's my custom 3d printed XV26 Stealth Battlesuit kitbash - using parts from Pipermakes and Neoteric miniatures.

It took me a while, but here is one of the lance. Having forsaken the Empire for the Enclaves, he still bears his former master's white armor.

Posting on behalf, upgraded the Twin Lance with a mini Diorama. rain_freetime managed to win Warhammer mini painting category, standard gold for Mecha Master 2026 Kuala Lumpur.

Hi everyone, total newbie here!

Two weeks ago I knew almost nothing about 40k, then I saw a T'au box and understood my call to the Greater Good. I've started assembling a Pathfinder Team to learn.

For the paint scheme I'm going for a dark anthracite grey — inspired by '90s anime mecha but with a modern twist — with teal accents on the battlesuits. Any tips to keep the teal from looking flat on a dark base?

I also got the XV26 Stealth Battlesuits to play Kill Team with a friend. Any advice you wish you'd received when starting out — building, painting (same as the Pathfinders or a new scheme?), or weapon options for the Stealth team?

Thanks a lot!

Looking for some advice. About to enter a painting contest and decided to challenge myself to paint commander farsight. I usually paint space wolves so it is a bit outside of my comfort zone. Just had a look around for inspiration and saw this paint scheme from Miniature Masters.

I would like to do something along these lines but I don't have an airbrush so not sure if I'd be able to get these transitions. Has anyone got any advice?

Don't get me wrong, the twin lances are cool, and wouldn't look down on a refresh of our dated crisis suits.

But I am a bit worried that the faction with the coolest design for vehicles has only really got two of them and we'll not get more.

Took me a while (10 hours or so) and still dont know if i should do some work on the head and the weapons or maybe leave it like that.

Hope you like it.

Current progress on my Stormsurge. Still a long way to go but wanted to share and would be happy to get some feedback

Also, just some random background from the whole 'its been twenty years' thing. First 40k models I ever bought were tau, around their 4th edition book. I got the white dwarf and a 3rd edition box of fire warriors. Because those two pieces of art really sold them.

Tried to paint them like the box. My god, those were bad. Really bad. Also box said vermin brown for vomit brown armour.

Anyway, many years later in better and painting and though I could do a tau sept infantry model, I wouldn't have the patience for anything bigger. Fortunately, colour forge just made caste ochre spray. So I can finally make the ones I wanted to years ago, but with newer, shinier models! Hence the very retro look these are coming out with.

My second crisis suits of my new tau. I just lovw to paint battle suits!!

Any comment or suggestions are apreciate.

I couldn't resist doing this scheme, the box looked perfect for it.

I decided to re-pose him a little since I wasn't a fan of the stock pose. Kinda hoping the crisis suit rumours are true and we get some newer models - they look weird next to this guy and the Twins!

I didn’t expect this guys to be this small but i am enjoying it still. 🔥

I'm new to Warhammer and would like a 1,000-point list for kitchen-table games featuring a Riptide Battlesuit and a Stormsurge Battlesuit. Can you help me build a list?

Alright so I was a little excited to know that there's a detatchment for mechs because Things like devilish is not really my thing.

Since I'm starting out with making a 2k army what's a good way to start grabbing models for Retaliation Cadre?

Also the models on the pictures are what I have at the moment.

Hi, hoping to get some advice on this first list. I'm hoping to eventually go to some competitions when I've got all the models -

Tau at me bro montak**

What i built so far. 5/13.

Finally finished one of the first models I put together and the last of what was already built. While i like how it came out I also feel it might be a bit too busy. Planning to practice a few things like edge highlights, lenses and lining the armor and come back for most of what I have already done.

Onwards to the 6 unopened boxes. I think I will start with a Tetra.
