Hey guys, I recently purchased some NoS Tau piranhas but I guess part of the cheap acquisition was no instructions! Does anyone have some general tips/steps for assembling them? I'd exalt you so hard for a step-by-step tutorial with pictures........Thanks!

Depends on how well you want yours painted. I would magnetize the under nose turret, pinned the wings, not glue the torso at the waist of the pilots, or the drones to the piranha. Search YouTube for build instructions.

I did search google and youtube and came up empty. Lots of painting tutorials but none for assembly; and the few painting tutorials I watched didn't include even a hyperspeed assembly portion.

So, anyone willing to walk me through it...even from memory?

Otherwise I might call GW and ask them for an instructions packet. ..actually; is anyone willing to snap a few photos of theirs and PM them to me? You would surely please the dice gods.....

This subforum is usually for completed tutorials as I understand it, rather than asking for something, I'll slip this into the main Painting and Modelling subforum, more traffic more likely to get an answer Good luck

I wish I had time for all the game systems I own, let alone want to own...

Just take your time, look at pictures and test fit everything before you get the glue out and I bet you can figure it out no problem.

Besides, not following the directions can be fun, look at what this guy got:

Makes me want to get some so I can do the formation with them and fight some Knights or something. Hoth style!

I found an imgur gallery of the piranha instruction manual...not the best instructions I've seen, but it could help? LINK

Wow that looks awesome. I'm not too familiar with Tau but the markerlights (is that the name?), can they be shot while on the piranha or is it basically a passenger vehicle?
