As for what it's supposed to be, I'm planning on playing it as a revenant titan, or hammerhead, heck might even VDR something for it. It's "only" 21cm high tho, with a revenant being 30cm(so FW says) to the top of it's head fin, but I'm pretty sure I'm compensating for length with bulk.

And please, lets not discuss if Tau have titans or not, I've been ther, got the T-shirt with burn marks and bloodsplatters...

I like the piece for what it is. If we were allowed to discuss Tau titans though I'd say I want to see a super-heavy armadillo type vehicle.

I prefer this look to be honest.
the gundam look really isn't for me once you get past the small suits. I don't know why it would have fully operational arms... none of the other Titans do.

Too bulky to be properly Tau...I never liked Gundam either, but the streamlined form of the posters conversion really snags the techno-supremecy of the Tau alot better...

Also not mine, but I'm a battletech nut, so I can say this with Authority.

It's actually both. The Legs are interchangable between the two mechs, the missle racks and arms are indeed from a Mad Dog/Vulture, the main torso is from a Timberwolf/Mad Cat, as evidences by the "block" that normally sits behind the main cockpit section of the mech. Also I'm 90% sure they're armour cast, and it gives me terrible pains in my wallet just looking at it. :p (of course, I wanna get an Atlas and make a "counts as Warhound" )]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/205420/210248.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/205420/210248.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/205420/210343.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/205420/210343.page GMT

Aye, their both great peices of work, but I've gotta go more with the original one. It seems to capture the essence of the Crisis Suit more.

Generally speaking I'd agree, but this thing from the railguns etc looks more like Knight-sized than Titan, and I find it completely legit for the Tau to have something like that as basically a bit battlesuit.

And I just like the look of this a lot. It's ace.

Regardless, back on subject, I think the legs on ou titan need some work. They are really skinny once they come down from teh thigh area. They just look like they are ready to snap off if the thing ever actually lands.

It looks like a Decepticon, but a really COOL decepticon. I could envision some Firewarrior hero strapping this thing to show the greater good to some Ork Stompas. i am righteously impressed-you've captured a sinister look that I think current Tau suits are missing. Anyway you can miny size the idea for normal suits? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/205420/211268.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/205420/211268.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/205420/211399.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/205420/211399.page GMT

Don't care for the Mad Cat one. Don't get me wrong, I love the Mad Cat, it's my favorite Mech, but it just doesn't look Tau to me. I barely even register that it has Tau guns, it's just too Battletech for me.

I'll see your nerd moment and raise you one.

He's wrong.

It appears to be an amalgamation (woot, $5 word!!) of both kits, but it is DEFINITELY more Mad Cat than Vulture. The legs, hips and torso are DISTINCTLY Mad Cat, the largest give away being the triangular shapes in a half circle on the torso, which WOULD have formed around the point the cockpit meets the torso before he so BLATANTLY DESSICATED a masterful piece of art. The arms and shoulder missile launchers are from a Vulture - the Mad Cats arms have a rounded slope for the 90 degree turn where these (the Vultures) have no turn in the arm itself, and instead form a 45 degree angle between arm mount and weapon housing. The missile launchers on the Mad Cat are almost perfectly cubular (did I just make that word up? Guess I paid for my bragging about amalgamation...), where the Vulture's LRM 15 is far more taller than wide, and is angled back.

That horrid display of lazy I-Want-A-Titan is akin to a toddler ripping off Michalangelo's David's head so he could put a Ken Doll head on it to play Barbies with REALLY better Barbies than the girl next door...

But I truly have no opinion.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/205420/291192.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/205420/291192.page GMT

Ahh yea when I saw that I only had about 10 min till lunch was over =P, after reviewing the 2nd model it is part tau devilfish hammerhead and sadly Madcat and Vulture but the origainal model is AWSOME it made may day to see that (then I scrolled down and say the dead madcat and freaked [Its my fav Battletech model].]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/205420/291606.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/205420/291606.page GMT http://www.armorcast.com/battletech/
