Hey all, today I thought I’d show another Tau Riptide that I have been working on as part of a large Tau army commission.
The model has extra 3D printed parts added to it. The link for the 3D parts is https://www.shapeways.com/product/RLFUFM4EB/tau-mech-3d-designed-conversion-components?optionId=60430641&key=2fef9b4775477dab5ce2be5910f218c4&li=shop-inventory . I painted the model in a WW2 German winter army scheme. I’m guessing not being a Tau player that the gun is a Auto-Cannon. Having looked at the photos I still need to drill the top guns. What do you guy’s think? Have any of you used any 3D printed parts on your models and which ones?

Another great model from you. Love the camo scheme and the snow effects!
Hello! I'd like to know the maker of the 3D printed parts you used. The model and paint job looks great!

AgentArrow he is a friend of mine designed the parts. I have 4 ripetides with this configuration.
I absolutely would love to know where the burst cannon comes from a well, i have seen that style before and it looks impressive.
Love your stressed and beaten look. Will have to be brave and try it myself. Never used 3D printer parts, and have only seen custom made ones, not off the shelf.
I'm waiting for a custom arm for my Imperial Knight to arrive 😀

Hello. Can you remember which paints you used for this? I absolutely love this colour scheme (I'm starting Tau so exploring which scheme I want)
