has anyone tried to represent the advanced stabilisation system (can i use an accronym of A.S.S. or would i get in trouble ? ) on a model yet & i want to put them on my broadsides i haven't seen a bit for it & was hoping someone might have some ideas ? 

Fins, baby.....fins.

Sal.

I think it would look akward for a Broadside to have fins, considering its a walker.

Maybe sculpt some sort of gyroesue thing, or do something to the legs.

Nozzles from SM backbacks on ankels or calfs. Booya!

i like your idea infantryman . i was also thinking about something small & hightech looking w/wires going back & forth to those heat sincs . you know those things that cover the jet nozzles if it was a crisis suit. but any & all ideas are greatly welcome.

well it is an A.S.S. so you could always model it riding a donkey.

but happypants i would need to make a cart to haul the railguns

Don't think wires running places will do--thats too imperial looking, don't think the Tau would expose that sort of thing.

Could try this Link to GW they made this article on equipment that was not available

thanks everyone ! i think your right infantryman & ravenllord that link is agreat help.

Ravenlord, when I first looked at that link I thought another typical GW article:

"Buy the broadside, four land raiders, the Chapel of Sanctuary, and 144 kroot heads. These will build your advanced stabilisation platform"

Chuck

Lol, I know what you mean Chuck, it's usually the case with GW. They show you a make "urself model" Then tell you to buy forty quid's worth of sprues, were you only need 1 part off each. Bargin!

Yah, serriously. Thats why I avoid GW's reccomendations like the virulent plague.



On the UK site they had a nice article on making some kick arse looking Cadians on bikes for Rough Riders; however the sprues they had you using only made one, and it cost 40 quid to make.

Chuckyhol, I hope you like the space below all my posts.  You'll be living there for a while.

But we all like your avatar.

Someone else mentioned the Broadside being a walker...it's not a walker, it's like power armor with a floaty jet pack thing.  Fins, lots of little exhaust nozzles, an bulkier jetpack, all these things would work for me.

Broadsides don't have jetpacks (rules wise or model wise), they come with those metal heat radiator bits to cover the jets. I'm in the wings/fins would make it look wierd group. I was thinking about using something like the new Venerable dread feet. Real wide with spikes that can quickly sink into the ground for more footing .

I was also thinking no legs with little vectoring jets like on the Hammerhead to make it a skimming vehicle.  Think of it like a tomb spider.  It skims, but slowly.

mabey a 4 legged broadside? or rolling on wheels or tracks ?

nah tracks would look to imperial.

Problem solved.

How about thrusters on the front of the model? Maybe something with straws...

Ah shoot... I think Kid Kyoto had a link to some guys site where he did some crazy sick conversions for the tau. One of them was an EXTREMELY well done 4 legged broadside. I think he did a 6 legged one too (if memory serves).
