Tau marines


det

Recommended Posts

I know you're going to get a lot of negative and postive repsonses to what you're doing;

but in the end make models that make you happy!!! :)

 

I really dig some of your more out there conversions, and appreciat ethe risk you are taking within the whole hobby and community.

 

Oh, and that Tau ion cannon razorback thing looks awesome and massive; a definite centerpiece to the army!

 

A while back I put tau stealh packs on the back of my infiltrating dev. multi-melta marines, and many ,liked it, many did not.

 

Best of luck, and keep up the good work, just don't let the inquisiiton find you! ha ha ha!!!

haha!! I know, i'm a xeno-lover! Guess what? My force consists of 5000+ pts of orks, 1000 more or less of marines plus inquisistion...all working toghether...ha, ork mercenaries and radical inquisitors...hehehehehe...;)

 

I just don't take it so seriously...and i love converting.

 

Unfortunately that ion cannon razorback got converted away, but another razorback version is to come ;)

prep your meltas boys we found another one :P

 

thay look cool, i would worry about the inquisition getting a little cross though *hears a flamer light up behind him* i have to go, i cant be seen talking to a heretic :P

 

in all fairness, it looks kool, im happy. (although i have turned to chaos for bit i feel the inquisition may go more lightly on me than on you)

I don't fear them...my Radical inquisitor is happy with it.

and when you're behind enemy lines for decades...well, you must use captured equipment or you're dead. And if you befriend the locals...all the better, you survive...:P

Thanx!! :D

 

i've updated the rhino to a razorback again...this time it sports a quadruple burst cannon to count as a TLAC. hehe. Pics as soon as i get my camera working! Damn battery!!

 

it's the most expensive razorback i've ever seen: it has all the upgrades...simply perfect for the comand razorback!!

I modified slightly the techtaumarine, changing his plasma cutter into a proper one.

so now i have

  • captain
  • comand squad
  • librarian
  • razorback
  • sternguard squad
  • thunderfire

 

next up in my "to buy" list is a second rhino that'll become a TLLC razorback. :P

 

;)

Ok i understand i need to be burned/killed/exterminated/cleansed/purged/etc, but what do you think of the models? are they so terrible??

 

Hurray for marine-contamination with something different than chaos!

 

:thanks:

Fantastic work det! That Razorback with the fist full of bust-cannons works much better I think than the first one.

And your tech marine is an original. Does he have a couple of drones with power claws to do the heavy lifting?

 

Keep it up!

Wow....fantastic idea a powerfisted drone...to represent the servo-harness a bit better!! really thank you, i'll do that: i just happen to have a lone drone floating around!!

 

Concerning the heavy weapons marines...well, the MM+tauPG is strange, but it is just slightly longer than a lascannon. The other one, with the wierd mix of flamer+tau meltagun+tau strange big boss weapon is a bit strange. I was thinking of converting him into a more heavy weapon look, thus maybe using a ML or another heavy weapon as base. the problem is the backpack: a plain one doesn't fit for a heavy weapon, and atm i run out of cool backpacks. I'll see to it though...:)

 

edit: replaced ork abbreviations with more "normal" ones!!

I'm very slowly working on these while i try to get my ork force completed...anyway, quick update: thunderfire cannon has been reworked a bit, now it's a bit more interesting:

i've completed the second razorback, which has nothing to do with tha tautech but is inline with the libby and stern...loyalist but with a twist.

 

the PF drone is still on the "to do list", but maybe i'll just add some extra "arms" to the techmarine...dunno...

I personnally think this is a bad idea and i don't think the models look very good either because the mix is just weird.

 

In fluff terms I don't think it'd happen either, as some have mentioned.

 

This looks to me like a case of "ooh, those tau bits look interesting, but I don't want to make a tau army ...."

Thanx for the comments ladz!!

 

Glad many of you liked it!!

 

And yes it's a ion cannon hellhammer thing that counts as a thunderfire cannon.

 

Fluff wise it's quite simple, thay are indeed considered renegades so no real problem there. Plus serving a radical inquisitor has it's own pros.

Plus they work with the Tau of the N 'dras world, a world which was suddently abandoned by the Tau empire for who know what reason. The tau still living there have some problems with the empire-loving tau...wow, a mighty congregation of renegades!

(And my main force, orks, are blood axes...mercenaries shunned by the majorityf the other orks...guess it0s a theme!)
