MAD TAU Suits list mussings

Hi every one, I have a deep love for Riptide, I love the model so much that even when I don’t have the money I got a second one, but after reading the new Data slate I must confess that a wild list has come to my mind, let’s see how many suits would fit not how good it would be:

First I would take the Farsight supplement as core for the following list:

Main Detachment

HQ the Riptide Commander

Troops: 2xCrisis suits (3 units each)

Elites 3 Riptides with the Earth caste equipment

Then is how much Riptide power we can fit no if it is a sane list

Heavy: 3 xv107

Data Slate:

1 Riptide

6 Broadsides

That is not including the Tau as Allied to add another riptide to avoid using the fire warriors

I’m not even caring to look the points on that list as I know first I would be broken just from the normal Riptides then the Data slate and to finish with the FW stuff, really nuts, but that list in a Third sphere expansion scenario would be so appropriated to fight endless tides of Guardsmen, more of a narrative than a competitive scenario.

What do you think?

And now What? GW's new online policy.

Is not secret for anyone that I live in Guatemala, then only contry I have traveled has been Mexico, and dont have a visa to travel to USA, so how do I get all my GW stuff, simple by using the discounts provided by the online retailers. with those discounts Im Able to justify to pay the 25% tax plus 12% IVA a total of 37% taxes on my beloved miniatures. I have always known that it is an expensive hobby, but that doesnt preclude me of trying to get them as cheap as possible.  and for me it is online from retailers, I only have purchased 2 broadside packages from the GW if the new policy comes into effect what I will do, and others in my position that to get the parts depends on them. many will search new waters like me with Relick knight or War Machine, a few will keep purchasing from the GW site but my guess is that it will mean lower unit sales, sadly their earnings reports will skyrockt and they will have fuel to justify the policy on more countries. why you might ask, becuase the lower sales will be done at a higher margin and that will help them in the long run (thank God for those U courses)

Ahh for the first time in many years I think a good bye to Warhammer is in order, and I sincerly hope that that policy is reverted or cancelled to keep on with my addiction.

Meanwhile here is a site with greater description of the issue:

My thoughs on the new Dark Angels models.

I been watching the new models for the DA. I might not buy them because the army hasn't appealed to me yet and after the new landspeeder, only the flyer was interesting but the the chapel on top I didn't like it.  however today I saw the other variant and my mind flew with blue strikes, my ultramarines would love to have it.

I don't like it.














I Love it.











they are from the same kit. blue instead of black on I take 4 to go.

My Ork Aegis Defense Line

(Warning pic heavy post ahead) 
Ok, After seeing Klaus post on a dynamic scene involving a Force Recon unit, I was struck by this image:


So struck in fact that I must confess that  I had to steal Klaus Idea, (please Klaus forgive me if you are reading this), since a complete steal is not my kind of thing, I decided that an aegis defense line Ork style had to be built, and my ork mekboy started to krank things,some bike bases had to be sacrificed and cut some sprue to get the same arrangement with some liberties due to length constrains

 with the pieces cut I glues some together trying to reproduce klaus style.

 with the frames done I created some metal plates from plasticard

 then some rives by cutting a thin rod of plasticard and gluing it to the

the following step on the process is to glue sand, as always I used my recipe for it.

 here they are completed

 a deploy test, they look good.

I'm happy now with it, proof of it is that I'm still awake beyond 1am.
now my ork settlement is just one step more to become a reality, until next time.

Reviewing the actual cost of entry to wh40k, Space marine version

After living with the actual prices for a while I got thinking about the money needed to field your first army, on a budget I m not talking about a winning list here just a playable one, mostly because not all players think about that when they are new, my thinking goes more on the boxes or blisters needed when you don't have or don't like the introductory box set (]remember AOBR is going out, and no everyone will want the new one) For that you will need at least the codex, 1 HQ and troops.
