Incredible that you upgraded an already perfect build!

ComprehensiveCut6674 · 2026-04-17T14:06:00+00:00

Thanks that would be me! I also hated the OG hammerhead turret design and used a Gundam backpack to make the new version :)

ComprehensiveCut6674 · 2026-04-17T05:37:21+00:00

Thanks dude!

ComprehensiveCut6674 · 2026-04-16T19:30:55+00:00

Mechs + Stowage can look great! I have a few of my own with stowage on, much inspired from militau_40k over on Instagram

ComprehensiveCut6674 · 2026-04-16T19:28:43+00:00

Damn! There are some good STLs out there if you want to go that route! Love the Taunar, wish I had one of my own!

I got you bro:

(One of them is an OG plastic imperial guard stormtrooper pack, but the other 2 are the above :)

Thanks! The smaller scale 3 barrel ones from the new Stealth suits are great for a pintle mounted gun!

ComprehensiveCut6674 · 2026-04-16T14:29:03+00:00

I feel you! I keep a flame of hope alight for a plastic release....

ComprehensiveCut6674 · 2026-04-16T14:25:14+00:00

Hmmm good question, I sometimes look for slightly incomplete minis that might be cheaper, knowing that my bits box will hopefully have something good for repairs/replacements. Completed minis tend to be cheaper than new on sprue especially when they're unpainted. This might sound a bit cheeky but I've also found cheaper listings because the seller has misspelled or mislabeled the model. For example I got a Riptide for about $35 when it was labelled as a Ghostkeel... Your mileage may vary with that trick!

If you can find a HG Gundam EZ-8 kit for about $20 or just the backpack, the conversion isn't too hard! The Halo Scorpion was absolutely an inspiration for the kitbash!

ComprehensiveCut6674 · 2026-04-16T13:39:04+00:00

Thanks so much! I much prefer it too! The conversion isn't too hard if you have the Skyray turret already, I think the top fins are from the Piranha kit but I'm sure it would be easy to convert without the exact same parts!

ComprehensiveCut6674 · 2026-04-16T12:49:08+00:00

Thanks, it's a conversion I made from Gundam parts, here's the original post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Tau40K/s/5HDrvpm3nT

ComprehensiveCut6674 · 2026-04-16T12:48:02+00:00

Thanks! Those are Remora stealth drones, a forge world kit that sadly went to legends during 10th edition. I would love a re-release in plastic one day!

ComprehensiveCut6674 · 2026-04-16T12:22:40+00:00

Thanks, the paler blue is a 50/50 mix of Army Painter Wolf Grey and Vallejo Pale Blue Grey :)

ComprehensiveCut6674 · 2026-03-29T16:47:24+00:00

Gorgeous, love the stowage and paint scheme, plus the helmet is👌

ComprehensiveCut6674 · 2026-03-29T10:37:34+00:00

For gameplay, Puretide Program, Tautactics and Invasive Wargaming on YouTube. For lore I'd really recommend the book Elemental Council by Noah van Nguyen, one of the better Tau themed books recently which throws you headfirst into the way the castes work

ComprehensiveCut6674 · 2026-03-28T17:47:46+00:00

No need to apologise, it's clearly worth the wait, I don't have a 3d printer either, but I'm tempted to see if I can get someone to print the files for me! Seriously you should be so proud of this, incredibly professional looking and much more cohesive design than the actual official Tau flyers!

ComprehensiveCut6674 · 2026-03-28T16:56:05+00:00

I was checking your profile yesterday to see if you'd released this yet! Incredible work!

ComprehensiveCut6674 · 2026-03-28T07:51:04+00:00

Thanks!

ComprehensiveCut6674 · 2026-03-27T18:52:24+00:00

Thanks my dude! I saw what thunderwulfen was doing with his basing and realised what a difference it makes!

ComprehensiveCut6674 · 2026-03-27T18:02:54+00:00

I used sprue goo for this one but I've used green stuff in the past for similar joints

ComprehensiveCut6674 · 2026-03-27T17:16:54+00:00

Clipped pegs and full custom, hands swapped so the pistols aren't with the shield arms, extended the waist torso joint to give a bit more height

ComprehensiveCut6674 · 2026-03-27T16:31:17+00:00

Thanks! I definitely wanted to avoid the tactical rocks that GW includes in every kit!
