Cosmic, when do you sleep But no honestly, you are showing a very good paint job. chappo !! Haha well I don't even know if you can call it sleeping anyway, I suffer from really bad hallucinations and lately I've had loads. Every night for the past 2 weeks I've been sitting up in bed half asleep exchanging Euros to imaginary people it's really not fun! But thank you very much, pip pip! My Airbrush has had a good soak and I've just finished cleaning it. I'll get cracking with the rest of the Tauros in an hour or two!

Obviously, Cosmic, the hallucination are chaos daemons trying to send you a message to paint more chaos!
I hope it gets better/stops so you can get some rest, though.

Wraelis you have no idea how stoked I am. TBH I really don't even want to play these. Just put them in a clear display case and showcase them. And as for future business I am already working up the funds to get 2 more done lol.

I really hope this gets him some more business, because that work is fantastic Thank you very much Wraelis I'm hoping it has started something, and maybe I'll get a few more customers in the future . Until then, I've really enjoyed painting these for Teku and I'd gladly paint more! Well they're fully varnished and protected so playing with them would be fine but display would be great too

I kinda wanna make rules for the next Tauros I get and use the punsher gun from the FW Valk. I think that would look sick. Would have to find a way to make them detachable so I can use the GL also.
Can't wait to have these in hand. Pretty sure I'm just going to stare at them for hours hahah.

Haha, I would too, teku! I'm gonna have to look into how those things play, they're such cool models.
@cosmic: you bet! If I know of anyone who wants to get their models painted I'll be sure to send em' your way.

Lol I have to see them pretty please. IDK if I can take this anymore haha. I have been waiting all weekend for an update.
In your honest opinion do you think the punisher would fit better on the Venator or Tauros?

I'll get some photos up tomorrow morning for you, and then I should be able to send them off in the afternoon or Wednesday I've been thinking about that and I would say a Venator would be a better choice.

Yeah I have an idea how I would set them up but idk if it would need some custom mounts which would be difficult because I would also want to switch back and forth between the punisher cannon and the las cannons.

Post by Cosmic on May 14, 2012 16:13:35 GMT -5
A custom mount wouldn't be too hard to build from Plasticard, you could then have that for the Punisher and then just slide in the Lascannons one when you want.

Cosmic, the whole job is so good but for me those wheels really make the whole thing come to life. Just a question for you, or Teku, or anyone really. The tauros can be transported indide the Valkyrie hold. But does the Tauros model actually fit within the Valkyrie model?
I was considering getting it for "Gerek" who is an HQ choice in IA8.

I believe you need the skytalon www.forgeworld.co.uk/Warhammer-40000/Imperial_Navy/VALKYRIE-SKY-TALON_.htmlThe Skytalon has the entire bay cutout and replaces it with grippers to hold vehicles. You can actually see in the pictures off of FW the grippers sit in the wheels themselves to hold the vehicle. I am not going to use them as drop vehicles. They will start on the board like a regular unit. In all honesty their purpose is to get destroyed. Fast moving annoyances. Kinda like a mosquito in a way. Most of the time they annoy you and get killed. Some might even bite you before you crush them, but there is always that one chance you might get bitten and BOOM west nile virus takes you down. Kinda like that.

A Tauros (not Venator) can take a Valkyrie as a dedicated transport.
Like some Valk owners really decorate the interior cabin, I was musing with the idea of doing my next Valk with a Tauros shackled inside.
I'd take it out when Gerek wants to play though.
But I want to know that the model will fit before I fork out for it.

magnets would be the way to go... shout at me if im wrong I was thinking magnets, however the Venator turret is quite small and the punisher cannons fairly long, so I would have them in an enclosed turret. Also turret is one piece, and then the guns attach straight to a very flimsy gunshield so there's not many places to stick a magnet. It may very well be possible though, just need to take a closer look at another turret and figure things out. RedCuffs: The Tauros does not fit in a valk hope that helps!
