Cheap and easy MDF Terrain from eBay. For less than 8 quid delivered you get a nice pair of Generators made from 3mm MDF. True, they are not as detailed as plastic or resin kits but for something you are only going to use on the tabletop and not be on display in pride of place in your Ikea Detolf there's nothing I've found that's more value for money than MDF kits and this is probably the best value for money kit I've found.

One of the key driving factors for starting airbrushing miniatures is so you are able to prime minis in any weather and saving the cost of rattle cans. Certainly it was the main reason I got my first airbrush. Sure, being able to base coat easy is good, but being able to prime a batch of minis when it's pissing it down outside (or summer as we like to call it here) is the best. My primer of choice is Vallejo Surface Primer, it's the only one i've used through the airbrush. I'm sure the other brands are fine, but I've only used Vallejo so it's the only one I can recommend.. I use black just so I can hide mistakes and missed bits easier. All you need to do to use it is to thin it down at least 2 parts primer to 1 part paint. You might want to go thinner 1:1 if you're running a smaller needle. I'd forgotten I'd had to replace the needle/nozzle on Ol' Goldie cos I'd cack-handdedly snapped the previous nozzle during cleaning and the new one was smaller so I should have thinned it down more, but it still works ok. The only trick to priming is to keep the airbrush moving with the air on, then feather the paint on and off so it slowly covers the model. Don't blast it out and don't stop moving the airbrush.

Boy is he big. BEEFCAKE! There's some size comparisons in the vid, he's well bigger than even a Knight Castellan, only the Eldar Wraithlord comes close but he's so spindely it's no contest. Building the body of the Taunar is actually fairly straight forward. There's a few things you need to watch but not much more than you need to do for other kits. Firstly the toes, specifically the mediums sized outer toes. On mine, they were the first thing I glued, and I glued them pretty much sqaure to the main big toes. I really should have had them angled back a bit to help support the weight. It's not that it's unstable or anything but it could have been better. Next gluing the pieces that make up the back is a bit tricky as there isnt much to guide you in getting them lined up correctly so i've an ever so slight gap on his left (the right side as you look at it) between the air intake and the torso. It's not much but it *is* there. Also you want to take you time getting the legs just how you like them, there's a good range of motion on them so you can pose him how you like. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3t5UFkaKb4

Warhammer Community just dropped another preview article about the upcoming Tau Codex (ETA early 2022). This one covers the Railgun found on the Tau Hammerhead tank. The previous stats from 8th edition for this gun were mediocre at best, you'd almost never want to take it but with these new rules I can see many Tau players taking at least one, perhaps up to 3 plus Longstrike. All depending on points cost of course. They also mentioned new markerlight previews, so I can see an article dropping on that sometime soon, hopefully at least. https://www.warhammer-community.com/2021/12/29/nobody-is-safe-from-the-awesome-power-of-the-tau-empires-new-and-improved-railgun/ ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MG6Cf7p9pk
