So I've hit a snag, and I'm a tad overwhelmed. It pertains to the absolutely massive variety of KR Multicase trays.
I'm going to be buying the Kaiser4 transport bag, and 4 standard KR cases to carry my army. My question is, could I please have some help trying to work the system out? I'm not exactly sure what foam tray sets would be best for me.
So far I've worked out needing one of the "Two XV104 Riptides" foam trays, and a few Fire Warrior/Stealth trays.

Only 5 more days left in my vacation. I'm going to talk future.
I'm planning on buying a Barracuda model from Forge World. It'll be interesting to finally have a flyer, and a good exercise in magnetization.
The only issue would be porting the Farsight scheme to it. I'd like to paint it in a distinctive (maybe night-fighter black?) way, but I'm not sure how to do that and also signify that it's a Farsight fighter. If you have any ideas let me know.
Addendum.
I'm still making plans about a "great redo." I'd like to get rid of my old, outdated models (old Crisis Suits, all my Fire Warriors, and my Piranhas) and replace them with new ones. In addition, I want to rebase all of my current models to the standard of my Y'vahra, and even repaint them if I need to.

The barracuda is a lovely model, especially after the clean up. Great choice.


And just email KR with a list of what you want to house. They will reply in 1-3 days and help you. It's pretty much a major part of their job!

Seriously?! Thank you! I didn't know that! Is there a tray that houses the new Barracuda in the KR inventory?
When I get back to the states, I'll do an inventory of my army. Thank you very much.

There may not be, but their pick and pluck trays are superb. I use one for my Aquila lander.

Excellent. Are there pictures of your Aquila on Dakka somewhere? I'd love to see it.
Barracuda is on the way, along with the 50-something magnets needed for it.

UPDATE 7/31
A gun so big the tip is out of focus. My first attempt at OSL with a brush. I'd like your thoughts on it.

Nothing much here. I painted the little knobby thing at the back of the Ion gun. You can also see my second Riptide in the background. It's getting a redo after the Stormsurge.

The rear. No idea how that gold splatter got there. This is nowhere near finished, and will be cleaned up later.

And of course a shot of the Stormsurge. I felt the previous paintjob did not do the model justice, and the base was inexcusably bad.

A detail shot of some of my red. Stormsurge is progressing nicely. Much better than the previous paintjob!

I like the brutal-ness of that Tau suit!

Yes, it's a beautiful wonderful artillery platform.

All there is to do now is clean it up and paint the lower flamer barrel. Annoyingly, some minor resin texture issues have showed up, those will be fixed as soon as possible.

Barracuda:

I'm looking forward to seeing how work on the Barracuda progresses.

Great looking army so far!

Thanks witchdoctor, feedback is always appreciated.

About 50% done with the Barracuda. Still need to do the belly.

Rare shot of me in a game store.

Treble Riptides. Because they have no base.

Left is just being rebased, Right is getting completely redone with a new paintjob and base. I'll give you points if you can name all the models on my clusterfeth of a workstation.

Besides the Riptides, I spy a SM, and a 'Nid with a cyber attached heavy weapon, and a Necron command ark

That Nid would have been my July painting contest entry, but I was in Norway. I suppose it's a paperweight now.

It deserves some painting

Y'vahra is done. Shas'vre Vior'los Shas'tyr. (Flamewave)

Damn fine looking battle-suit! Tau are so Anime

Nice tau there :-)

Thanks guys.

Finished Barracuda:

Not something I normally do, but interesting all the same. This model took me about an hour and a half to paint. Unfortunately glare hides a lot of the markings.

A Lub'grahl produced Ghostkeel, assembled using modified blueprints recovered from Shas'O Mirrorstar's defection during the Damocles Gulf Crusade. This variant differs from Tau Empire produced Ghostkeels due to having a slightly reinforced sensor module and internal structure.

Assembly was surprisingly easy, unlike my other Ghostkeel. Tested my 2-Keel OSC against Eldar. They performed extremely well.

Tau army is looking good there. The pesky space lizards have pimped out their rides and suits!

Space fish, I'm sure you mean.
One Tau Two Tau Red Tau Blue Tau

I've stalled as long as I could, but nothing could stave off the horror of painting ~50 drones.

I feel your pain. I've got around 20 to do myself. Drones are really easy to paint, but SO boring...
