I then went on to Chaos, bought into them by starting a Black Legion force, which now is around 2500-3000pts with all units in some state of working progress, I then put them on hold with the rest of my Blood Ravens which also, is a sizeable force of around the same points value.

I then took interest in Tau, around summer 2014, however not purchasing anything Tau related until the Christmas period as I had some time off work, as I wanted to change from my usual tactics of full on assault and hoping to win through sheer might, I thought to switch to Tau, for a more challenging army play style, they can bring some power with them, however, they are a lot squishier than Marines, so for me, it required more thought and effort to use them effectively.
I want to stay away from cheesy Tau playstyles however my love of Riptide models has changed peoples perception of that, and just use Tau as competitive and fair army opposed to my all out assault Space Marines of two different flavours, so, this thread will include phots of my WIP Tau and ideas, bearing in mind I have not worked on them since around Mid-August to Early-September due to work...that will change soon...so, here are some phots of my Tau in their current states...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/670299/8256029.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/670299/8256029.page GMT The Killing Jokes WIP Tau force. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/670299/8256045.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/670299/8256045.page GMT The Killing Jokes WIP Tau force. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/670299/8256051.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/670299/8256051.page GMT The Killing Jokes WIP Tau force. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/670299/8256066.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/670299/8256066.page GMT The Killing Jokes WIP Tau force.

The pictures are fine, trust me, I've seen much worse pictures. If you intend to keep posting pictures to Dakka you could consider starting a P and M blog for your Tau/other forces.




I'm planning on creating separate threads for my Blood Ravens and Black Legion as soon as I can get home and bring them out of storage, along with actually putting more work into my growing Tau and keeping this thread up to date.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/670299/8256069.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/670299/8256069.page GMT Re:The Killing Jokes WIP Tau force. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/670299/8256088.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/670299/8256088.page GMT The Killing Jokes WIP Tau force. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/670299/8256124.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/670299/8256124.page GMT The Killing Jokes WIP Tau force.

What are your thoughts on all the next Tau suits that have come out?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/670299/8260081.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/670299/8260081.page GMT The Killing Jokes WIP Tau force.

I also added a second squad of Stealth suits and a third Piranha, next buy will probably be a Ghostkeel so I can use the cheesy formation for the Stealth Suits and the Ghostlkeel with the "Wall of Mirrors" Special Rule.

I just got fed up of seeing such awesome models in such boring poses or fake "dynamic" poses that didn't really look natural at all. takes a fair bit of work to achieve, especially with resin models.

Also, on the note of getting this thread moved and noticed more how do I actually go about that as I have no idea on how to actually use this site other than to post a reply haha, took me ages to find out how to start a thread in the first place! haha

When I magnetised this, I put magnets in the arm sockets on both the torso and the arm itself as the handy modern instructions that came with the titan said to, then I also drilled holes in the ball and socket joint on the torso and legs and then finally I drilled holes in the multi-drivers themselves and the rail they sit upon for them to balance nicely...helps that the magnets are strong otherwise it wouldn't be so sturdy haha, was a little worried when I put the multi-drivers on hoping that they wouldn't then knock the titan off balance haha]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/670299/8325853.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/670299/8325853.page GMT The Killing Jokes WIP Tau force. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/670299/8332204.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/670299/8332204.page GMT
