New tau pics Clearer n nicer!

I really think gw is really trying to evolve the tau like as if the tau is progressing to a more stronger and establish force in the 40k universe (which it should be) notice that the tau seem to look more and more like a real organized outfit with now special officers and vet. tank commanders. Should be pretty logical from a fluff view point since they tend to meet the IG a lot..

IG + Eldar = Tau

Oh look, finally! Hands!

Yup.. look soooo much better with fingers.

But I wonder why the Riptide left arm still ended with a stump?

I really dont like TAU colour scheme..

He'll beat termies to death with the stump!

I just got this bad feeling that that riptide legs are going to be a bitch to pose and balance.

Can imagine the brief to the earth cast would go something like this

Etheral - We need one of those big cool walking things every other race has. Make it like that grey knight walker, Nimble like a IG walker, Strong like that space marine dreadnaught, and weapons like the eldar...

@Dann : I thought so too. S+2 AP2 Concussive

In the grim darkness of the 41st millenium... there is only Macross SDF-1

I picked up a second riptide today and will be eating bread for the rest of the month ^^ gonna make that one in jump mode

Can someone put a Gretchin next to the thing and take a picture? Better yet, a Gretchin standing victorious over the damn thing

Cripes. Now I wanna do that...

I think i got a grot with a pistol at home gonna make it look like he is shooting it while the grot is going to get stomp

@T.Hijiri, looks like a lot of gaps there, will you be filling them up?

I'm buying 'conversion bitz', I really hope it will turn out awesome in the end, everything almost costed like buying another riptide and I'm actually still waiting for my stuff, which is freaking tomorrow.

Can't post WIP of it here, probably facebook instead. Small hint, it's everyone's favourite giant robot, probably.

Too lazy to fix it with green stuff. I'm drybrushing over it and filling the gap with paint.

I don't have any gretchin, but here's a CSM for size comparison:



It doesn't look nice as a pseudo Mad Cat:



But looks cool as a Dreadknight with chicken legs:
