Odd, the tracked units look like no Gundam I've ever seen.

As mentioned, they are guntanks from the original series. Not ever mobile suit has legs you know.

As well as the Gun Tanks, Mobile Suits in Wing, Seed, 00... all have tank-leg chassis'.

Dos head are way over proportion. I dont care if was smallest head get hold of. I say craft them your self from green stuff our even clay!

Part of the point is they're 'super deformed' I believe.

When tyranids play this army, they taste the rainbow.

I have to say, I'm craving some over sized heads, what's the chance we'll get some more toy cutting soon?

My army are the only ones in my group that have a winning record against the Necrons, GK and Space Wolf are a little harder, (granted the guy I play with this is a local tourney player, and he's good). But, the girls don't make it easy for him!

Squigsquasher wrote:Odd, the tracked units look like no Gundam I've ever seen.

Still I like them!

Oh, and you should do some Eldar allies for your Tau, with Evangelion Wraithlords and Sailor Scout Aspect Warriors. And a Zaku.

Squigs, you scare me. It's like you're reading my ideas in my head...... lol

I still have the ability to make more, I'll shoot you a pm .

You went far beyond what most people consider sane for an army, and ended up with a unique army. Kudos.

Thanks! Sane can be boring sometimes.

Casey, more stuff soon. Finishing up another unit!

Thanks for all the comments everyone! Keep 'em coming!

I love your broadside conversion. I think it may be one of the best ones yet!

DUDE, I just nerded all over the floor! This is so awesome.

New units!
The OP has been updated, check it out.

Finished Lancer and Rook. My cyclone stealth team unit is now complete.

...Robotech?

IT'S CALLED MACROSS DAMNIT!

Sorry.

They look cool! Here's a few more anime I would love to see referenced in this army:

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann,

Neon Genesis Evangelion,

Code Geass,

Cardcaptor Sakura (I watched it when I was a kid, OK?),

Shinryaku! Ika Musume (or Squid Girl as it was called in the West),

Black Rock Shooter,

And somewhere there must be a banner stating proudly "People die if they are killed".

Don't forget Bubblegum Crisis! Hardsuits would be kinda perfect for this army.

Love the cyclone bikes, another great job.

You do know that you said Macross, when all the Robotech things he's used are from Mospeada.

@ 7yler:I love the new additions to the models though. If Tau gets a Flyer what would you base it off from anime? The Gaw from MSG maybe?

WOW... lol.. lists now.

Squigs,
I do have a few from that anime list that are on my short list for projects.
Although, Cardcaptor Sakura, I may have to pass on..

Anvildude,
As much as I would love to, I'm stopping myself from including the Knight Sabers, just because it's one of my absolute fav's. And I don't think I would do it justice, right now.
However, there may be something else I might take from that show....

Silverback,
Thank You!

RedComet,
I do have a Barracuda....

I am scared. The Tau always were the anime of 40k, and seeing them in their true form, and executed so well...
By Gork and Mork, may my Nordic Orks never fall to the beautiful abomination of anime Tau scum.

In all honesty though, these are beautiful! I really need to get back to some drawing if I want to match those guys! But the Vocaloid heads on the FW's makes my face go: (large pic) http://i.imgur.com/YVX49wq.jpg

Wow, I missed a couple updates! As always 7yler you don't dissapoint!

Sounds like one day you might just have a flying Gaw one of these days.

Hmm... Mado Booma Kroot?

I hate Tau, but found myself being excited by every new picture you put up. I love how your army looks and hope to see more work soon. Oh and also, just seeing this made me feel like the world is a little brighter place.

Can't wait to see the faces of any of the grimdark armies of the wh40k universe when they go against these guys...

There was a time when I did contemplate a Necron Army made entirely of Boomers and other possible Genom creations.

Thanks for all the comments everyone!

LOL funniest conversion ever

We're Back!
New Codex Time!! This gunship was in the pipe before the codex came out, along with one more that I'm finishing up right now.
I've already started on my Riptide

Introducing (finally...) Luka Megurine's Hammerhead Gunship "Night-Fever"

The OP has been updated. (You can see the other weapon options there).

God, I hate this.

1. If you don't like it, don't bother coming here and looking at it.
2. Welcome.

At OP: Nice work!

Finally a Luka tank Took long enough.

Looks good.

This army would've been a really big hit at Kawaii Kon. I love the idea of putting in a Zaku II somewhere, maybe even a slightly chibi-ized one.

This made me giggle, and I am not ashamed to admit that. Love the Miku and Magica decals!

How does one go about creating those decals to put on the tank in the 1st place?

I....um....hmm....

It took me a while to figure out if i really liked these or not and have come to a simple conclusion.

Awesome. Just awesome. The decals on the tanks are excellent, though i must say that your troops are a touch bright for my taste.

That being said, keep going on this baffling yet highly amusing project!
