    I haven't finished the Tau Empire Kroot army box set yet but I couldn't resist skipping ahead to this new release, the Kroot Lone-spear! Thanks to ‪@officialwarhammer‬ I got this set early to make a tutorial for you guys, and I love the result! I focused mostly on the Kalamandras beast for this video, but you can check out more detailed videos for painting the rider below! If you're still interested in a basic Kroot infantry painting tutorial, let me know! I chose the sniper rifle for my rider, what loadout are you going to use?

    Lovely work as always.
    Think i'll be painting up one of these in the Albino Axolotl look, that big wide mouth and the gill frills around the mouth should sell the look.

      If you check in his past videos, there is a pretty nice one about The Kill Team hunting pack. It’s basically same models than carnivores but with capes. Hope this helps, good luck for your army painting ! (Would be impressive to see 120 kroots on a table)

    Another good paint job Andy. The orange does pop really well. Was going to say now that bat reps have returned to the channel any chance of seeing some more narrative 40k gaming again. There's loadsa channels putting out comp 40k content but not so much on quality narrative. Could even be a whole series on building the table up and armies upto the campaign.
    I've been collecting STL for my sister's of silence force. It will be getting done but I've needed a break from power armour so am going back to the genestealer cults.

    I would be more tempted to paint that version more greens etc for a more camouflaged sniper theme and the guy with the spear who's more in your face orange like you did. The model and the colour scheme looks nice but for the role it's not for me. Sorry for the damp squib.

    • @MediocreHobbies
      @MediocreHobbies  4 месяца назад +2

      No worries man, it’s always interesting to hear different opinions! I totally know what you mean with camouflage, maybe they would be how they choose their mounts and train them when they’re young-based on the colours!

      @richardwales9674 4 месяца назад

      @@MediocreHobbies I would use the same background and reasoning as to them choosing there mounts. Though if there is a chameleon element to their mount, maybe it changes colour in response to the situation or the rider. Your scheme could be that he's got his threat, 'War-face' on?

    It’s messed up how these models are out of stock and $55 a model and don’t get shipped until after 5/11. Yet RUclipsrs get these models for free weeks before they go on pre-order. Guess GW has to get their money somewhere so they jack up the costs for non-RUclipsrs. Maybe if RUclipsrs had to pay like the rest of us the prices wouldn’t be so high.

      Oh you silly boy. GW’s operating profit for half the financial year in 2023 was close to £100m, their prices have nothing with sending a few copies(that are made extra) out to RUclipsrs 😂

      @@MediocreHobbiesa few copies? These “few” copies end up on quite a LOT of channels. Not just a FEW channels. Why should normal people have to pay extra for these items and wait weeks and weeks because they are out of stock because RUclipsrs are given them weeks in advance. What makes RUclipsrs better than normal people who have been in the hobby for over 30 years?

      @@rrohring1970 you need to watch the podcast on the painting phase that had the guy who started this program. He explains all. When the stock for these products are being ordered they decide to make let’s say 20000 copies of a product for the initial launch. Then they as how many are needed for the creator program. So let’s say 50. That’s added ontop. So it would be 20,050 copies made. What we get doesn’t affect The stock levels. So maybe relax. I try to make fun painting videos to help take the fear of painting away from new and inexperienced painters and you come and crap all over it with your toxic behaviour. People like you are what’s wrong with the hobby. Not us creators.
