Built this as the first of what will be all y gun drones in a new Tau army.

Looks like a Tau drone with a Necron gun.

Yep, and it looks damn cool!

Looks cool but personally I think the gun barrels are too long. I'd maybe shorten them just a tad but hey it's your model! Post some pics when it's painted!

I agree with purist66. It does look good, maybe you could try mounting the gun a bit further back underneath the drone and seeing if it looks more balanced?

Yeah, the guns are a little bit long. But if I cut the barrels down some I don't think it will look right. And I can't mount it any further back because it's already pressed up against the ball that hangs down underneath the drone. O could try cutting that and moving it back too, but I think that would look just as silly.

Only thing I could really do is cut the barrels off entirely and mount the muzzles right onto the body of the gun, which is a waste of the cool necron barrels.

If you mount them further back it will provide its own counter-weight to the barrel length. At the moment it looks a little off-balance for a flying disc

Alternatively, the barrels have a repeating pattern. You could trim out 1 "chunk" of the pattern and see what you're left with. Then you can still keep the funky barrels and the aesthetic.
