My tip for the Skitarii - non-Chaotic Hereteks. Those who turned back on the Imperium and its teachings, yet did manage not to succumb to call of Chaos. Using forbidden mix of AdMechs' and Xenos' technology, with gritty look of outlaws.
Xenarites are so much fun to build up. Giving them Gauss flayers and pulse rifles and sticking various bits and bobs to the vehicles. It's like building Orks just really really fiddly
I'd love to see this. I've thought of doing something similar and leaning heavily into the creepy horror side of admech with loads of extra pipes and tendrils you can make with those greenstuff rollers.
I was going to suggest similar. Consider he now has a bunch of leftover Tau bits, it would be ironic for the Chaos Tau to face off against Mechanicum that have been seduced by the greater good.
Cool idea. I've always thought a Russian inspired Space Marine chapter would be amazing. Maybe based on Imp Fists. Noble, stoic, never surrender never retreat kinda guys. Rasputin would make a good Librarian. Chapter Masters would be called Czars. 🤔 I might need to get printing. I may have the start of a hell of agood army.
I personally think a necron-worshipping Xenos-cult Mechanicum color scheme like that one found in the Mechanicus game would be super cool! black robes and deep metal accented with glowing green sounds awesome!
Midwinter Minis is the ultimate champion of the "I did it cuz I thought it would be cool" style of painting and kitbashing and I love seeing it. Always prefer it when people have fun and do up minis the way they want as opposed to the strict "There Can Be No Fun In My Grimdark Army Man Game" method some go with. As a T'au player looking to make Orky followers of the T'au'va, I approve!
Farsight's sword isn't actually chaos, its just an ancient xenos sword made by an alien race older than the imperium, out of a material called a 'chronophagic alloy'. The alien race were also themselves very anti chaos, considering they developed many runes to help contain and deny the warp. (Hence all those khorne daemons trapped under Arthas Moloc). Although the dawn blade itself does take the lifespan cutshort of its victims, it in itself isn't necessarily evil.
I think it's ultimately both, an anti-chaos faction that utilizes warp interactive technology, such as time influencing stuff, and vitality buffing, would likely have a tie to chaos physics somewhere along the lines, especially if it's Xenos tech, considering how many aliens are blatant Chaos worshipers.
Yeah lol I don't think its been fully revealed but that is what I've heard is the most accurate Lore for the Dawn Blade! The description makes it sound Necronish in origin, kinda like that guy that has the staff that sucks out the tactical corpse's soul.
Since you went with Chaos themed Tau, how about Necron themed Admech? Green glows and grey metal bits to represent an Admech army thats delved a bit too deeply into ancient Necron tombs.
If you want a recommendation for the AdMech, I say go with some variation of the Styges VIII Forgeworld scheme! The Styges VIII Mechanicum are rife with Xenarites who adapt and venerate xenos technologies, so could make for some fun kitbashes as well. That said, their black and red scheme might not contrast very well with these grim and gritty Chaos Tau.
I am in love with this. I love that the fall to chaos is a conscious choice with the Tau. This open up even more possible themes and paint choices for Tau armies. Keep this up.
Hey Guy! Huge fan of your channel, it's what got me into Warhammer, and i've been following it from as far back as the old Blackstone fortress tutorials. I was wondering if you ever have plans to do a "How to play" style video for the Horus Heresy? I think it would be a great way to introduce people to one of GW's lesser-known games, and help explain the 7th edition-style rules to those who are new to the system. But once again, cheers, and thank you for all the work you put into making these videos!
I love seeing such unique T'au models. I see so many T'au players at every hobby shop I go to and it's so wonderful seeing converted T'au that can stand out. Personally I play "fish people" T'au where they are all sea monsters with a custom Commander in Kraken Battlesuit
@@MidwinterMinis Chaos tau and dark mechanicum forces battling over long buried chaos artifacts would be really cool. You could give some of the Mechanicum forces a visual contrast to the tau by giving them white robes, as some of the mechanicum members wore white instead of red and held that it was an older, truer uniform. And, it shows stains of oil, blood, and the hideous alchemic mixture of both in excellent detail...
@@blandedgear9704 I think that in the Dark Heresy novels, the tech priests wore white (or it was in another BL novel I had red around the same time frame...)
Welcome back! I LOVE this stuff! Kitbashery! Conversionation! Something new! Rule-o'-Coolness! Also, your basing...er...goop? Totally chaotic! I mean the sheer randomness of the stuff included is just bomb! Anyway, fantastic video as usual. Love your subtle callback to your previous "controversial" vid (myself, I never saw that - always glad to see discussion and debate among hobbyists but it never felt that was the intent.Honked me off when people started getting personal - that's frankly, unacceptable). Glad to see you back and in your usual chill, positive and entertaining form!
tip: if you don't want to use oils for any reason, use a artist ink like Liquitex or FW for the white lining. i recently used some Liquitex titanium white ink on my necons and it works almost as well as oil. just have to be a bit more careful and guide the paint along. it is amazing for recessed glowing details.
You could paint them to look like old diving suits from the 1800s. Yellow glows to the eyes, maybe mess around with the bases a bit and make them more sea themed etc. Either that or just Triplex Phall, they are a fun Forgeworld with no special rules but great fluff/lore!
Love ideas like this that have no real canonical reason to not be done, but for whatever reason are less commonly mashupped! Look forward to seeing them showdown in the arena!
I live how this series turned into awesome experimental paint jobs and conversions ❤ great place to take risks in the small format while getting enough models to see how a whole army would look. These are awesome btw :)
ANother VOte for HereTek Skittari! AN exploritor that went to far in their Exploraitons! THese are Fantastic Y'all! Love the work you both put in here, and I'm very excited to see how far this Wayward band of blueberries can go!
What I did with my skitarii was influenced by the NCR veteran rangers from Fallout New Vegas, so olive drab armour, grey-blue under suits and brown leather coats, but I painted the coat linings orange to give them a pop of colour, plus red eye lenses, for the vehicles I use a camo scheme from second world war British soft skin vehicles (trucks) called the 'cloud' or 'mickey mouse' pattern, a light green base with the disruptive pattern done in dark green and any non-armour plated worky bits (legs on the dunecrawler) done in a pale tan colour (i use Portland stone, but pale sand is not that far off) looks pretty cool when it's done and if you want an ad-mech army that's a bit different, this drab, camouflaged look is not a bad way to do it!
regal white and blue skitarri could be sick af. Don't paint them the typical primarily silver or metal, instead give them an actual painted steel look, maybe try White, blue, and Orange for contrast?
I've always had a "Mars Attacks" scheme idea for mechanicus (for obvious reasons), but never got around to it due to already having 2 armys and planning a third, but i'd love to see that idea come to fruition here.
For Skitarii I've always wanted to do a proper steampunk vibe, bordering on medieval. So like, lots of wood, a green wooded scenery etc, not grimdark just steampunk. Think that'll be relatively easy to achieve just with a paintjob, some cocktail stirrers and basing material, and it's a unique take you don't see done very often.
Tau was my first love in 40K but I was never statisfied with my Tau. My love faded and I went to the Astra Militarium and I'm proud of mine. This right here is what I need to give my Tau some love! I'm gonna pick up the bits and work on converting them soon!
i think painting the skitarii like construction equipment would be really fun and unique, maybe the admech uses them as reserve fighters when they run out of regular forces?
I wonder how the Mechanicus would look if they were themed after the Institute from fallout 4. Just imagine pristine white coats and clean lab equipment.
For the Skitaari - definitely nurgle. Lots of places for exposed rust but I like to use green inks for shiny components to mimic machine coolant. Could look quite good in places. Also weathered wood (like dead wood rot) on the weapons could be a fun kitbash
Nice to see a well executed chaos Tau army. For the skitarii, maybe Final Fantasy 6 Magitek themed/Gehstahlian empire. Maybe a bit too specific, but it’s what comes to mind.
This reminds me of an idea I had. Tau infected by Ork spores. I think these guys turned out pretty good. As for the Skitarii, I have only one word, steampunk. Brass and copper and polished steel all over the place.
This is so cool. My youngest son Jono and I have been watching you for a while and love what you do. I was a 40k second edition player back in the day (90s)... I've now returned to the hobby with my son! I have a Tau army and loved this. My son and I are now getting into Horus Heresy 30k and it feels like the old second edition... especially with the beakies! Lol 😂 Have you thought of doing some beakies? Would love to see what you would come up with? Thanks for all you do, Chris (aka redminiracer) and Jono (son) 🤠
Hey Guy! Saw you guys at Games Expo on Sunday. I don’t do great in crowds as it is, so I struggled to come say hi. Love the videos and please keep up the amazing work!
Awesome kit bash sir! I've been thinking a lot about making a Tzeentch Marked T'au combat patrol. The Etherials have to be weak to TMans influence in my head cannon. Would also make sense why Khorne wants Farsight so badly. Thoughts on the fluff/bash idea? Love your videos. Your videos were a missive inspiration for me to start my own Warhammer 40k channel that will be launching with 10th edition. Much love!
A concept that I heard mentioned once but has never seen actually executed is that of a garden-world or Solarpunk admech. Incorporating foliage elements and contrasting the silver with some more earthy browns and greens.
I’ve always wanted to see Skitari that are created from an Ordo of the Mechanicus that studies agriculture. Having plants and nature fused in and part of the horrific cyborgs the skitari are has always been a driving idea for me.
There is this one forgeworld in horus heresy lore, called Xana. They became the first hellforge, and they have a great tan/ dark metal/ red colour scheme with a 3-tailed scorpion and mechanized dog skulls as symbols.
I think it could be cool to do some immaculate Mechanicus. like the tech priests of the Custodes? or those that upkeep the golden throne? the best of the mechanicus' technologies in regal colours.
You should try the opposite for the white oil. Spray paint the recesses and osl around the area you want, then add the oil wash on top of it in the recess.
You know what models fit PERFECTLY with ad-mech bits? Nighthaunt :D. Dark Mechanicum!! Rust stalker heads fit perfectly under bladeghiest revenants and the arms are the same scale. Dreadblade harrows can be easily converted to serberys raiders, and the manipulus looks great when kitbashed with the scriptor mortis.

@@surpriseandterror9698 Yep, just it should have the idea that they are enemies of Imperium as well as its false Omnissiah/Emperor

I'd love to see this. I've thought of doing something similar and leaning heavily into the creepy horror side of admech with loads of extra pipes and tendrils you can make with those greenstuff rollers.
I was going to suggest similar. Consider he now has a bunch of leftover Tau bits, it would be ironic for the Chaos Tau to face off against Mechanicum that have been seduced by the greater good.

The cloaks of the admech would fit well with a WW1 trenchcoat look.

Might ruffle some feathers
Give them little spiked helmuts too.

Great episode and a very cool army, thanks for all the content

Those upright drones came out really well and are just brilliant overall, I love them.
guy's channel has such black metal energy even the tau cannot withstand it.

full on brass steampunk for the skitarii as a good contrast to the grimdark T'au. Like, clean brass, gleaming metal and all that goodness

Had such a vibe to it.
Great video, you've got some great feedback/ideas for the admech. I'm excited to see where you'll go for the next one
i use a similar glow effect with my tau too, however i use white scar, imperial fist contrast and vallejo fluoresant orange. it still looks great!
Do the skitarri in an almost angelic scheme and style, to contrast the chaos tau

If we can put a daemon in a soulless piece of metal like a sword, we can damn well put one in a soulless piece of xenos meat like a tau.

Wonderful intros as always Mr. Midwinter!
And those glow effects are crazy!
Guy, as cool as the scheme is, it feels like a missed opportunity for a pun. You should have painted them even darker and call them... Incogni'Tau!
Teletubies or super bright fun colours for the Mechanicus or Green and yellow like Norwich football club.
These are so amazing!
Ohhh hellyeah I am all about this!!! CHAOS REIGNS! 🤘😈🤘
i think painting the skitarii like construction equipment would be really fun and unique, maybe the admech uses them as reserve fighters when they run out of regular forces?
Maybe you can try something like john Blanches art work since he did a lot of mechanicus art work
I wonder how the Mechanicus would look if they were themed after the Institute from fallout 4. Just imagine pristine white coats and clean lab equipment.

Liked for Nessa, and also because this is a fantastic idea and an equally good application
Maybe do a "shattered mirror" thing for the skitarii: you have evil looking, grim taus, make clean and bright skitarii.
I would personally do a winter kinda scheme, mostly white with a but of green and brown, then some Valhallan blizzard on the bases
Ok, they are VERY cool!
Possibly some aquatic theme Skitarii, could be a nice contrast to the dark reds of the chaos tau?
For the Greater Bad?!
