Xeno book 2 going include T'au... I own Tyranids, Genestealer Cult and Ork.. T'au just odd out so I guess I going get some model for my son first collection..

Before I buy it I'll need show him variable of choice ( because I really hate GW's T'au model )

I don't mind if it is non-GW model. Any interest conversion is welcome.

Hmmm...maybe look at some infinity models?

one of their factions is tau like.

Well Tau has plenty of other species in their faction so you could go with something completely different than the Tau. Just make heads and feet different and you got a new race.

There are some nice Tau conversions out there using lizard men bits. Alternatively what about some humans from pig iron or hassle free with near future or hyper Sci if bits?

What about the Tau models do you not actually like?

No Tau here, They are all aliens who have joined the empire.

Now that something I like!

Hmmm. Greenstuff on Firewarrior rear a tail! Everyone wear helmet and HQ get big head...

Any more idea?

If you dont like the basic suits then there is still quite a bit you can do with them.

always been a fan of Resv's Helldiver suits. Really dynamic and much cooler than the statc stock suits

Shame I would like to see what he done with battlesuit!

I've talk with my son that I may help with his but he said he want build himself... greenstuff is out of order unless he let me do it.. look like keeping looking for me.

infinity the game look very pricy. No thanks..

Dropzone - I spot few might work. Not bad price
Warpath - similar to Dropzone since they both are mantic.

Ghar Empire and other factor ( forgot what game called? ) battlesuit look not bad. Minion meh.
