I really want to remodel this guy. I have plans on possibly getting another model and I really dislike my HQs looking the same. Any idea on how I can model him differently?

metal finecast or plastic?
Looks to me you could lean him forward jumping off his right leg/toe and change the head too be looking up and more to his left. raise left arm at the shoulder and bend at the elbow inwards. Think that all would give him a rocket jumping pose vs the landing one here.

Chop off the legs and arms, and re-position them.
Alternate heads maybe from the broadside or riptide sensor pods parts.
Also, get a farsight mini, and mix parts with that (I think they are about the same scale).
best of luck!

Advanced Tau Tactica has some good head conversions and most of them are really simple as just shaving off the fins on the side and slapping the ends of pulsecarbines along the side.

I'm expecting an Imperial Knights supplement dedicated to GW's loyalist apologetics. Codex: White Knights "In the grim dark future, everything is fine."
"The argument is that we have to do this or we will, bit by bit,
lose everything that we hold dear, everything that keeps the business going. Our crops will wither, our children will die piteous
deaths and the sun will be swept from the sky."

Even adding some extras in it like shield drones on the base would look awesome! You can do a remodel on the core, I think it would look cool to do a Eldar tech mixed with Tau tech. You can make the suit expose the operator if you want to green stuff, otherwise if you don't want to chop and stuff and would prefer keeping the suit as a whole, you could reposition legs arms, you can add some scenery, you could add or change armaments on the arms. For an idea check my profile and I to my tau photo gallery and check out my broadside.

I removed the stone on his feet on my model because he was leaning too far over.
