I almost wish GW named them something else because "technical paint" makes them sound like top tier advanced level stuff when it's really the opposite.

I know you're supposed to use nihilakh oxide to make verdigris effects but it's so drat good for glow effects. Paint crevice white then put in a little bit of that and voila, white glowing plasma vent

Maybe detachment CP is moving to per turn regen instead of a set amount

I hope it's like that but think it would be kinda nice if each points tier had a set amount of CP. So like 1k gets 5, 1.5k gets 7, 2k gets 10 or whatever actual numbers make sense.

And in today's 9th ed Overview, we're dealing with Overwatch. Which now apparently costs a Command Point to do.

RIP in piss Tau

Edit: ok seriously after actually reading the article it's not all that bad. And looks like castling up in defensive terrain will be a "must" against punchman armies. Overall that's kinda cool.

Mostly they're meant to go with those clear plastic bases that they fit into, but otherwise yeah, you gotta drill.

Ohhhh, I trim off the base end and make it flat by running it on sandpaper or whitling it down with an xacto knife. Then I glue it to a base

Looks really good! Do you mind sharing what blue that is? I am doing a large force of Tau up and have been struggling to come up with a paint scheme.

Thanks! I prime black, then the main blue about two/three coats of P3 Exile Blue. The white P3 frostbite, which takes like 5 coats sometimes. And the glow attempt on the weapon is the white but with a little bit of gulliman blue glaze

I originally got these colors to make space wolves, but I think they look better on the Tau

Just wondering about the max of +/- 1 on the modifiers, does that apply to AP? So like do you think tau can still use the custom sept missile rule for -1 AP then also use an ATS for another -1 on top? Or is stacking buffs like that just not gonna be a thing?

If it's actually decent, and with fortification networks only being 1CP, and free if it's faction specific terrain, then Imperial Fists might actually have buildings to shoot at for the first time ever.

So at the end of the day, magnet mini bases and metal sheets, rather than washers on minis with magnet sheets?

I watched their video for Tau and it opened on "there are so many viable ways to play Tau now!" and then the video went into abusing terrain rules by having your three Riptides hump each other whilst having their toes touch a piece of Obscuring ruins so they could shoot through it. The suggested army lists both contained three Riptides.

Meet the new boss...

I think that was their way of teaching how terrain works using something that Tau players are familiar with.

Also by teaching how unit coherency works using conga lines of drones.

Cool, I didn't think so but I don't really have experience playing against random people as back when I played way long ago during 7th I played against my friends who got me into the game. I don't know how pedantic clubs/tournaments would be about stuff like that.

I'm hoping that by the time everything opens back up I'll have my tau ready for some games at the GW store nearby and FLGS as well, but given that florida is the laughing stock of epidemiological responses I'm going to have a lot more time. It'll be kinda funny if my first game in years is a fully painted 2000pt list
