Yay, my first broadside :XD:

For those of you that don't know anything bout these things, they are very heavy battlesuits that the Tau use. They bring to battle massive twin-linked railguns and are tasked with bringing down the largest enemy units.

Now just need to make one more of these and one more suit for the competition 2 weeks time. :)

This one is slightly converted. Railguns were put in the arms and swapped for the missile packs (that went to the shoulders)

Very common conversion, nothin too special, just thought it is a while since I got one model up here.

Also cause wanted to see it.


Pose was bit inspired by listening to too much gundam music. ^^;



May dedicate this to the scraps god later.....
Broadside battlesuit and tau are from warhammer 40000 from and (C) Gamesworkshop

The main processing unit (aka head) looks 80s-esque XD

This guy must be in cahoots with the Mythological Viagra Guy. Yes we all know that Zeus was a slut, but damn...

Well, this is my answer to my friend's carnifex army. :XD: hopefully have the firepower to bring down those things.

The paint job is also the reason why my army grows Sooooo slowly....... :(

Takes so bloody long to paint each model!!!! bout 5 days!!!

As you may have recognised, the shoulder SMS came from the arms of the model. cut them off and stuck them at the top. (it actually fits)

Kinda like this arrangement more than the original design. Cause I picture you don't need to be accurate with the SMS as they target themselves. Also meaning that you can make them "Arc" over obsticles (No LOS for them)

Also it looks more like a mech' :)

Thanks anyway.

Very keeeeewl, it looks freakin awesum man, the set out youve used looks a lot kewler then the original, i can soo imagine the SMS workin on those, awesum job man! X3

Spray and pray thats the way without delay!
:iconsnowfyre:
Yep :XD: I prefer this one, cause it'll make it look as though the SMS arcs out from the back rather than shot from the hands.

Making a second, even cooler one soon. Better pose, more complex mods......

and prolly a higher chance of falling apart......


And thanks for the fav.
