Alright, here's the basics. I'm a 3D guy, and I was looking at doing some ideas. The big question I have is how popular are the Fire Support Hammerhead weapon options? I mean the missile pods, heavy burst cannons, etc. I was considering setting up a turret design for those, with a mounting system so you can fit any of them on easily enough. I'm just seeing if there's a desire for them since they're now out of production.

Not very popular, I'd guess?

If you want to 3D model Tau alternatives, think Vespid.

Missile pods are great on hammerheads. Why are they out of production?

They're OOP because FW stopped doing them (they were a FW only option).

Ahh! You meant the top weapons from the FW ones. My bad.

I mean it would be pretty great to have the options back. But how viable are they? How often would you sell them? Can't say.

There's a guy who does a bunch of tau stuff iirc under the Red Dog minis label (it changed a while back after he was iirc included stupidly in the chapterhouse lawsuit by GW when he had nothing to do with their stuff).

I do my work in 3D, so I'd be working them out and putting them up on my shapeways store for on-demand sales.

I'm just seeing whether there's interest to give me reason to consider it, I have a hammerhead kit that I pulled out of my storage area because I was thinking about the idea, but I wanted to see if there was much in the way of curiosity or interest.

Since GW allows for it those options will exist throughout all of 8th. We have an entire edition where Tau can use those things there are no models for. Some people may want them.
