I wasn't too keen on the heavy drones, but thpse sensors look fantastic, simple to make and make great objectives or secenry !, could you possibly post up a stage by satge of how they are built, just incase there are any hidden techniques

Cheers

**JD21290**

Simple, effective, look good.
i like em

great ideas and all pulled off well.
of course, tau players will rarely use flamers, so there will be plenty spare.
if you dont have the parts check ebay as suit parts and dead cheap.

feth you overpriced Forgeworld!

**Cypher871**

Yeah, no problem...I will do it tomorrow...I am about to leave work at Sunderland and drive for 2 hours to get home

hopefully I wont fall asleep at the wheel...hmmm....need COFFEEEEEEE!

**JD21290**

pro-plus + redbull + loud music should do the trick

As good as my word Wolf...take a look (beginning of the post).

That tutorial is excellent thankyou very much !

**karmaiko**

I love that it's efficient, especially if you have leftover bits accumulating, and maintains the artwork of the Tau (homemade sometimes tends to look just that...)

**Cypher871**

I always tend to save bits if they look interesting and are not damaged...you never know when you might be able to use them!

**Wehrkind**

Very clever! I wish I was that good at looking at a pile of plastic and coming up with neat things :(

**I Don't Play the Game**

Excellent idea and very clever use of tau parts.

**Cypher871**

My motto..."Re-use everything".

**punkisntdeadyet**

definitely stealing that sensor tower idea, I have tons of flamers left over from my suits. Time to put them to good use!

**greatergood**

do they have any special rules? It would look good painted and based

**DarkAngelsRK**

That's really cool! Do you think it would look ok if I swapped some of the Tau stuff out to make it look more Imperium-like?

**1-UP**

Looks great! Big fan of the towers, but the other stuff is fun too! Biggest advantage to buying NOS is the extra bits!

**4M2A**

This is a great tutorial, and I am sure it's going to be very helpful for most tau players. Finally a use for all those pointless gun drones. My commander thanks you for the new shield drones he has recieved.

**kestral**

I think that the devilfish doors make great heavy drone hulls. (Though its not usually an extra bit)

**BLACKHAND**

Fantastic work , Wish I'd seen it before I invested in 6 FW heavy drones!

**J-Roc77**

Your sensor towers look great! Now I have another project to do in between my painting burnouts, terrain burnouts, and ork conversion burnouts.

I have a lot of projects that are 90% finished. This is one I can make 3 or 4 of and paint later, and still be happy with them. Thanks for sharing.

**Blind**

I really like the sensor towers! Think I might try my hand on making some myself for objective markers

**cosmic pixie**

Nice, I might make some of these for my ill fated tau diorama.

**-=Scar=-**

Looove it :3

**The Fallen Raven**

Cool.

**Ouze**

Well done tutorial. I'm not into Tau but I definitely enjoyed reading it anyway - it was that good.

**frozenmilk**

Great creative designs Cypher871! I've bookmarked this for my friend who's working on his Tau army right now.

**TRISKELION7**

I really like the tower! I've just started a Tau army and when I've got enough I'm gonna make that!
