I apologize for the picture quality, its from a mac book and photobooth. ill have Buttercup up soon, but here are El'Bubels and Bllosm'O

haha nice idea

...you're a horrible person.

Honestly though, I'm not really sure I get it. Are they just regular Tau suits with Powerpuff Girl names, because I don't see anything else about them that screams PPG?

-they're orange
-they're flying

The third color detail element of them is the color of the named Powerpuff-girl. They are actually red, its a really crummy camera. Also you will note Bubbles has big fancy wings and is having fun, while Blossom is directing the battle, Buttercup, (ill get a photo later when I can) is doing a flying kick.

What does orange have to do with anything? The Powerpuff Girls are orange?

it's a girly color

Since when?

I see no point in these, like I would put a spidider to my fexes base and say its spiderman...

power puff girls are small to begin with, and the only cool character from that show was the baboon guy i agree with sidstyler and (._.) but this is not as bad at that time some guy did some lady gaga gak? but by all means to fizwig continue painting the battle suits just i recomend bending the idea.

In response to those who dont seem to "get it" yes, i was unclear in my first post, i beg apologies due to how late it was when i was posting those images.

I do not want to be too obvious with these suits, they are a part of my main army, it is to be a little side bit of flavor. if i wanted to have it so they would be perfect recreations of the power-puff girls, well, i would have done the whole things in their colors and probably done some different modeling as well (bubbles would certainly have a rainbow of some sort)

My army generally has a British theme with red armor and bone colored helmets (looking all pith like) and crosses of St.George on the pulse rifles and rail-guns.

with my suits, i wanted to do something a tiny bit silly yet still keep consistent with the army as a whole. hence the idea for going the power-puff girls sub-theme as i noticed they were already posed in a great way for it to make (some) sense.

I do not want these to be wild and very different, i don't want the power-puff bit to be the first thing that people get from it. The Intent is for the powerpuff-ness of these suits to be subtle and noticed only after a more careful study and not on first glance. on first glance, they should not look out of place in the army as a whole, hence, changing he detail elements that would designate squad in a group of fire-warriors.

at least that's the intention, I very well may have failed in it, but I figured you should understand what I was attempting rather than this as an all powerpuff themed army. (which would be cool but I wouldn't use tau.(SoB clearly))

(free, poorly conceived fluff: in 38,000 years, the TV broadcasts of PPG finally reached tau empire space and just so happened to be on the same frequency of tau public access entertainment, and was viewed as a perfect teaching tool in increasing the greater good and hence is revered among many of the fire caste as being a paragon of virtue and goodness to the empire and should be emulated.)
