Description I used 3 x 3mm magnets on the chin turret to be able to swap between the Burst Cannon or the Sensor array.
Very easy to do

Elmo9141 It's great paint job mate Somehow I dont know why it look's like "it hasnt enought Tau in Tau". Camo looks great but i think I woulde change brown on engine intakes and details for some different color?? maybe white like in the bottom of the Hammerhead??

Thanks mate
I may change the engine intake colour (actually dark red like the weapons ) for the pathfinder devilfish but I am not quite sure yet.

I have never been a big fan of Tron Tau even though I have seen it pulled off very well. I am a firm believer that, as was written in the codex, the tau do not shy away from colour schemes which help them blend into the landscape. My cadre is located on a temperate woodland planet and the cam is based partially on WW2 German lozenge/splinter cam. The undersides of my skimmers and fliers are low-vis grey with speckled highlights which is blended into the upper cam scheme. Realism over futuristic... as much as this applies to plastic space men.

And don't I know it...

Out of my currently painted Tau vehicles about 60% need repainting to the new scheme and I have another 6 DF/HH to complete. Of the suits about 80% need repainting and I have at least 10 more to paint and loads of drones.

That will be a couple of years work split between other projects like my Chocochip (camouflage again) IG and DA and now nids which will have an even more time consuming paint scheme than either the Tau or IG.

Sometimes I think I will need another lifetime to complete it all

If all you can see is that gaping hole at the end of the Railgun pointing at you then you know you have done something wrong but at least you would not feel anything....

I would rather be shot with a Battlecannon. What if the Railgun tears apart my legs? That won't kill me, and I wil die in horrible suffering.

Hyper velocity (Rail gun) would vaporise you on impact:Β en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypervel…

Can't get much quicker
