[MrStupidjoker]

[MrStupidjoker]

NICE REMORA!

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

@MrStupidjoker Thanks.

[ramboartist]

Cccccccoooooooolllllllll

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

@ramboartist Cheers ;)

[Icefyre6]

I love the weathering on the drone fighter... any tips on recreating it (unless you don't want to give away any trade secrets ;) )

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

@Icefyre6 Basically its just washes streaked on with a brush bud.

[TheFenianOfGermania]

This goes straight into my favs for two reasons.

1.) Awesome painting (not even my brother was THAT good)

2.) Awesome soundtrack (wish anyone knew the title)

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

@TheFenianOfGermania Cheers ;)

[dazzytech]

@TheFenianOfGermania sounds like Two Steps From Hell created it.

[torcher123890]

eather that thing never gets cleaned or it crashes alot XD

[188Katana188]

oh yeah....

right....

sometimes i'm just slightly stupid, forgive me

;D

[188Katana188]

awesome paint jo, but i really want to know how big the drone fighter is compared to something like a firewarrior

its not easy to figure out the actual size of that thing in the video, there's nothing to compare........

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

@188Katana188 See it on the Forge world web site.

[sonhighguy]

one of the single nicest painted models i've ever seen...period

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

@sonhighguy Many thanks.

[sonhighguy]

@MarneusAugustaCalgar well deserved my friend

[sonhighguy]

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

@whyDraw Thanks, about 8 years.

[Lamec1989]

Really a goood job specially the dirt.

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

@Lamec1989 Thanks.

[thecoolos1998]

incredible paint job.

but is that an actual tau unit or did you create it because i collect tau and ive never seen that

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

@thecoolos1998 Custom paint job.

[MegaSquig]

@thecoolos1998 Its from forge world

[icrackpot]

awesome paint job

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

@icrackpot Thanks.

[Hardcorekid53]

the dirt marks are incredibly genius and very very life like. very impressive you made it come alive. you got some mad skills

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

@Hardcorekid53 Thanks buddy.

[Shift7Camp]

This video is actually viewable if you mute the sound.

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

@Shift7Camp Go play with your boy friend - twat.

[504Zerus]

extremely immpressive but how did u do the dirt streaks?

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

@504Zerus Washes and just brush strokes :)

[newman97884]

nice paint sceam or what ever u know wot i mean

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

@newman97884 Thanks.

[MDSakamoto]

The dirt took it to a whole new level, outstanding work man.

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

@MDSakamoto Thanks mate.

[Trueflights]

Amazine weathering effects on that piece. I can't wait to see the rest of your army

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

Thanks mate but there is no more Tau, this is a one off.

[Trueflights]

ah, you said first of your tau army, I thought there was more to come. Excellent work though.

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

Yeah, it was a project i started ages ago but have moved on to other things now. Thanks.

[shawty390]

looks like its gonna kick some ass nice

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

Thanks.

[haznmitch]

Awsome weathering effects =D

do you know anything about eldar because im getting some stuff for christmas and i was wondering if this is a good list to start with:

1 Autach

14 Jetbikes

3 Vypers

my tactic is to use the vypers as anti tank. Then send the autarch in and lock up in combat giving enough time for the jetbikes to get into position to move across the table and wipe them out supported by the Vypers.

Can you tell me if there are any faults.

Thanks =]

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

No idea mate, i dont do Eldar :(

[haznmitch]

oh thats ok, but nice painting. if you dont already you should do painting tutorials.

[DAN16893]

nice :)

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

Thanks.

[LogEekumenAgination]

man, I cant find the rules for the DX-4 technical drone anywhere T_T

Does anybody know what it does in game?

[SYNSOULJA]

im gonna do that with ork stuff

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

Cool.

[Purpl3g3lp]

youve got quiet a talent on warhammer :)

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

Cheers :)

[clubace090]

nice weathering effects

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

Cheers

[gam3r117]

y r the wings on backwards?

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

Eh? LOL. They are not on backwards.

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

Thanks.

[LP1515156]

Ah nice Tau, I believe thats Sa'cea, or a custom army that looks similar? I like it, even though my own tau army is primarily dark. But the mud and dirt is just amazing. Great work.

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

Many thanks, it no particulare colour scheme though as it was just a experiment as i dont play Tau. :)

[SumZa93]

If that is going for game table, then the level of painting is awesome! Although bases aren't anything fancy, they're working well with the environment shown in the video.. Keep it up!

[DarkTankadin]

Fantastic work again Marneus. As for the music is that Requiem for a Dream played backwards?

[walkerdarin2003]

I love the weathered affects. Please tell me your technique. My Tau don't look the same without it.

[Rokko8652]

FOR THE GREATER GOOD! Great job though

[LethalBreakdown]

dude it looks buetiful. ha i dident even spell it right. i would love to see make a manta but it cost like $800 !

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

Not at that price :)

[spacemarine2121]

that is amazing man its so well painted and may i ask when you are going to post some more awesome videos

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

I will eventually :)

[damanofdreams]

did u make it from scratch - or did u get it from forge world?

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

Forgeworld.

[yoda2287]

Nice, I like Tau!

Also whats the song name?

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

Cheers, no idea on the song name :(

[fractald]

nice job what are you gonna do next?

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

Not sure, im in a painting slump :(

[SpartanG17]

those are a PAIN IN THE FU###NG A##

20 necron warriors and he goes "stealthfield generator, u cant see them"

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

Cool :)

[SpartanG17]

Well, it makes sense. They are STEALTH drones so... yeah.

[SpartanG17]

Well, double ones on the D6 isn't fun.

[gunnerpig]

awsome how you get the paint to look so smooth

[dutchtj]

i have the exact same question, i'm doing tau as well

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

Water the paint down a little as you use it. Do not put it on thick.

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

Water the paint down a little as you use it. Do not put it on thick.

[dutchtj]

thanks mate i'm gonna try it out, does it work for battlesuits too?

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

I dont see why not :)

[Makkovar]

Beautyful, especially Remora - AWEsome.

Btw, what's the music? Sounds familiar...

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

Many thanks, no idea on the music.

[LOTRwh40kDuncan]

love he drone fighter,nice painting!

i do tau as well,im getting the codex today!=)

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

Thanks buddy.

[LEGIOSWINDON]

sweet

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

Cheers.

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

Thanks :)

[StyleLuverx100]

Im very impressed with you work dude great job on the necrons and marines and everything else bravo

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

Thanks very much :)

[Vohir]

Im impressed realy nice!

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

Many thanks.

[CaptainCrunch80]

How did you make these dark stripes on the drohne? Looks epic!

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

Devlan mud and badab black was.

[Einhander0000]

The drone looks impressive, by the way, what song did you use for the video?

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

Thanks.

[Atrodad]

WOW man very nice.

a great work on the pantjob and the fact that its on a so prefectly design model is just imressive.

btw your terrain ROCKS.

would love to se the rest of your Tau army.

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

Dont have any more just yet mate.

[Mazryonh]

You think you'll top this army off with a full-on Manta from Forgeworld?

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

No chance, rediculous amount of money for a model :(

[Mazryonh]

Why not? If you're a Tau fan it's the crowning piece of an army capable of carrying an entire army inside itself!

I'm surprised that the Tau don't just leave the fighting to the drones all the time, just like the USA is looking to make an all-robot army.

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

Mate, if you want to waste a stupid amount of money on a piece of resin, go right ahead.

[jollyross]

nice tau man! along with all your over brilliant models!

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

Cheers :)

[tsimon1234]

Wow... love the weathering. Just wonderin, is the Remora armed with 2 Seeker Missiles and 2 Longbarelled Burst cannons or are they twinlinked or what? I'm thinkin of covertin a guard mini fighter usin similar rules.

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

2 Seekers missiles and twin linked burst cannons. Cheers :)

[tsimon1234]

Ah... great! Cheers.

[Shannariano]

really really nice, these models simply looks real :) a thing I like a lot ^_^

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

Thanks buddy.

[User3U675]

Your work is amazing. Keep it up.

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

Cheers, more to come.

[LoadOfCrabby]

SIMPLY GREAT!

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

Thanks mate :)

[rockstrips]

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

[Drizzt24194]

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

[RastaSeal414]

! The greater good is finaly rising

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

Oh Yeah!!!

[necronsplayer]

lol... tau remind me of starwars :D

[lukeclews]

yeh the droid army is alot like them and so are the clones come to think of it

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

True

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

lol - a little

[crazywookie62]

wow omg. that looks like a plastic warhammer figure. (i know you painted it) it looks so real. great painting skills. keep up the good work.

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

Thanks buddy.

[40kchaoslord]

Great stuff there man, love how they are painted

funny thing is, i think that tech. drone, looks like a recon droid from star wars haha

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

LOL, yeah it does.

[sithlord227]

there s cool i wish i had one of them in my tau army and also how many points do they cost

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

They are available from Forgeworld, points cost - 110

[sithlord227]

thats not to bad

[gunnerpig]

also the best ever weathering look !

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

Cheers.

[gunnerpig]

really really god 5/5 stars , apart from i personally dont like the way ur flying units are so high up off the table on those rods :)

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

Simply because they are flying units. It does not look realistic having a flying unit on a weedy 2 inch stand, they look like they are hovering otherwise.

[eminempkr]

Wo! Great Job Marneus! looks very weathered very very very nice :)

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

Cheers, it came out well.

[Cipher100]

awesome work!

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

Cheers :)

[Dman720]

That is a pretty hot looking tau model and the paintjob was done great as well. Also sorry I couldent respond to you about the necron rod staining. I havent gotten around to it yet but ill let you know how it goes.

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

No problem mate.

[matty0l214]

TAU RULLLLLLLLE! (for the greater good)

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

Oh yeah!!

[miniwargaming]

You should enter that into our miniature painting contest that we are holding right now (Dave will be posting a video shortly about it).

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

Many thanks, would it go in the Science Fiction Vehicles Category?

Thanks again.

[miniwargaming]

That is great work - I love the detail you put into painting it.

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

Thanks a lot, i was pleased with the results.

[Spacewolfwarfront]

wow now thats really cool is that gonna come out for sale or is that just a custom one you made

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

No, its the first part of my Tau army. Acailable from Forge World.

[ThunderfireMac]

That looks awesome, great work!

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]
