Really good airbrush job on the devilfish. What kind of airbrush did you use? And did you use GW paints on it? I love the colors you used. I think I found the cloth color that I want to use
Thanks. I use a double action bottom feed airbrush with Vallejo Air paints. I started out using GW or normal Vallejo paints, watered down - but I've since learnt it's not the dilution of the paint that causes blockages but the fact that normal acrylic pigments are not milled as finely as airbrush pigments.
Updates:I've not been idle, but been working on many little things that didn't seem worthy of an update. I've been working on crisis suits. At the outset of the project I intended to completely magnetise every single one with 8 magnet points, but after completing one have since realised the impracticality of that goal.
I've since built (stuck down) a fireknife (plasma rifle/missile pod) team knowing the ubiquity with which they appear in Tau army lists, and settled for the rest on sticking down one weapon with two magnetised hard points. Here is one such team, with the stuck down hard point:
And with a second burst cannon and shield generator attached:
The components - a total of 49 magnets goes into this little lot. The plasma rifles, flamers and fusion blasters each have 3 so they can be attached to either arm or to the backpack:
(Small round bits at the back are the rear end of some burst cannons, which I'm using as drone controllers).
I also completed construction of my second broadside. This one has the same torso construction as the first but has swapped his smart missile system and railguns around. The arms aren't stuck yet - need to settle on a good pose for them.
Finally - your opinions please. While I was fiddling with posing, I wound up with this "superman" pose. Cool, or too cheesey?
