in Forge World i always wounded what is the point of the tau ground crew and pilots So if anyone can tell me why people will buy these items i would like to here it
Thanks to everyone


not related to question
I like the tron tau color scheme

They are purely for fun I believe

Basically just decoration.

They'd make fun dioramas for your Imperials. Think of the 'Fire Warrior' videogame to see where I'm going with this.

thanks everyone i see there decorations not unit

P.S. thay could have modeled them better

They can be used as objective markers, too.

You can use them for the ejection system if you were somehow convinced to buy it on a suit.

I think older imperial armour books had rules for pilots that ejected. I seem to remember reading rules somewhere (Taros?) about having pilots that use deepstrike scatter rules to place when their aircraft is shot down. If the models survive and make it off the board, it saved the victory points for losing their ride.

You could, but at least in my opinion they look a little too skinny to pass as a fire warrior (they are air caste, after all).

It makes sense, Tau tech is easily replacable, but the lives of experienced pilots are less so.

Indeed the Tau fighters can eject the pilot cabin in case of emergency. You can see it in the model.
And I bought and like the Air Caste models. Put them next to a flyer and you have Tau terrain (until GW releases one).

It's Forgeworld. They're modeled fine.
