A friend of mine gave me his unassembled Start Collecting Tau which gives you around 500 points of Tau, Ethereal, 10 Tau Strike Force and 3 Crisis Suits.
Paired that with the Tau Commander I was given a while back and I got a neat little force to assemble.

So, I finally gotten around to watching that Ultramarines movie and it was mostly decent. Not exactly unique, aside from that one shot with the engraved shell casing or the bit with the Chaplain. But I'm calling bullshit on them dying from being thrown across the room by an demon.

Forgot that's how John Hurt died in the movie. Remember the daemon doing it, just not the specifics. Only scene I remember is him fighting the Black Legion in desert and his crozius making some kind of force shield that knocked them on their asses

You guys have a strong opinion on Airbrushes? Weather is pretty shit for priming at the moment and probably won’t be clearing out much where I am for a while, and aside from being generally quite a versatile tool I’ve been thinking about picking up for a while now.

Curious to know too as I am thinking about grabbing an airbrush kit too.

Generally speaking, I try to ignore pirates. I buy legitimately, myself; but I know there are various reasons why people pirate and with something like this it's definitely understandable.
My limit with piracy of any sort is when people try to justify their piracy as some kind of noble endeavour. I don't care what your tragic villain backstory is, if you're a pirate, you're a pirate. Fucking own it and spare me the theatrics.
I also laugh three times over when people make models to skirt around a company, parade their blatant theft around for moral reasons, and then turn around and start fuming when they find out that the people who were looking for models to download to print are also happy to give them the middle finger too.

I have an airbrush, they're great for certain effects, varnishing and priming inside and blocking in colour over a large area, don't do much else with mine though.
Helps a lot for vehicles too, i airbrushed the primer, base layer, chipping medium and whitewash layer on this grot tank and it took a fraction of the time it would have taken with a brush.

wouldn't call it noble, everyone has different reasons. I'd just say I want to see what I'm supposed to pay money for, especially given the shit behavior of most companies.
if it's shit I simply delete it afterwards and all I wasted was a bit of time. if I actually use it or watch/play it, I look at the value and then pay. or in case of tabletops I simply look for an alternative (that's cheaper and better).

You know, I haven't even played that new Rogue Trader game and I'm still really enjoying how the normies are bitching and moaning about how you're forced to be a "colonial fascist" (direct quote from some dipweed on Steam) and how trying to be a good guy tends to fuck you over in the worst way possible. Welcome to the grimdark future, kids. Hope you like Exterminatus!

That was definitely a pleasant surprise. I figured Owlcat would try to go all "modern audiences" and "global standards' on it but I'm guessing GW told them no.
Hell, I half expected a Female Custodes or Space Marine to show up in the game, so, that's how low my expectations were.

It's such a weird concept to me that everyone wants their entertainment experiences to be so homogenous. Comedy makes you laugh, a horror to be scared, a tragedy to be sad... why should grimdark be a genre that makes you the generic good guy frighting for some better hopeful future? That's called hope-punk, there's a genre for that.
Grimdark is appealing because it's grim and dark. Not everything should be grimdark of course but grimdark should be grimdark. If that doesn't appeal to everyone then that's fine, because not everything can appeal to everyone.

What you're talking about is something called Market Segmentation. It's something the wokies explicitly disbelieve in, because if there's an alternative to their ideas, people might choose the wrong thing. You are not allowed to disagree with them, even with preferences like Pepsi vs Coke, because they have the correct beliefs and you simply do not. They know how to live your life better than you, you silly chud, don't you know?
The other major aspect of this is their belief in Media Representation Theory -- the theory that you should see yourself in your media, otherwise you can't really connect with it. It's one of those things that if you think about it past the surface level you realize is racist as hell -- "oh, poor dumb negros can't understand TV with white people in it" -- which is why it's heavily, heavily, HEAVILY discredited. But it's also a cornerstone of the wokies beliefs, so they keep bringing it back over and over again. Whenever you see "you like the Imperium you must be fascist" or "you don't like diversity retcons you must hate negros" or "you like looking at pretty women in media you must hate women" that's the theory that's coming from.
The flipside of this theory, which they absolutely believe in but don't like talking about, is that if "you should see yourself in your media" then "what you see in media is you." That is to say, if they can put wokeshit in media, particularly kids media, then kids will become woke even if their parents don't want them to. It's why they constantly target kids media with their degenerate shit, they think they're turning kids degenerate behind their parents backs.
This is why every 6-12 months a study comes out that says "video games cause violence." Same theory. Discredited every single time they try to push it out. They keep trying, cause they really really want it to be true.
So. If you can't put a bunch of "chuds" in gulags or just kill them outright like a proper marxist utopia would, what's the next best thing?
Why, changing their beloved media so they stop being chuds, of course! And if it won't work with the chuds -- something something, "warhammer is for everyone", "if you disagree with the wokies you're not a real star wars fan," "Star trek has always been woke!," etc etc -- then it will, in theory, work on their children.
There's one last aspect to all this, and it comes from Maoism. Mao during the cultural revolution had a saying, and I can't find the exact quote. "All institutions shall be retooled for the party or burned down so the enemies of the revolution cannot use them." Well, what happens when you apply that to culture? Your game will be changed to appeal to the party's beliefs, or it will be sabotaged and destroyed so you can go find a party approved game to enjoy instead.
If they can't have Warhammer, they'll flip to trying to destroy it eventually. (Probably right around the time a woke-friendly alternative gains any traction.)

I'm thinking of getting a whirlwind. I really like the model, and if I start actually building a army, it'll go well with my pre logo change space marines. I kinda want a artillery based army, so possibly imperial fists or something like that. I think it'd be a bit different for space marines, relying on indirect fire way more than usual. Thoughts?

I gave a shot to a couple of episodes of Poorhammer while driving and it's nice. Good balance of enthusiasm and cynicism.

IIRC Iron Hands have been historically better ruleswise for doing an artillery/vehicle-based army since indirect fire rules are almost all on vehicles for marines but if you wanna go Fists for flavor then knock yourself out. The whirlwind's a good buy because there's no obvious Primaris replacement yet so it's likely the kit will stay usable in-game without proxying it as something else.

I can practically taste my disappointment from being unable to obtain Deathwing Patrol and the new Ravenwings. I really like the Vowed unit and their stat line.
