This is my favourite army that I've seen on DD. Awesome job. The Broadside is the coolest thing ever

**eldartau1987**

Thank you very much for sharing. I do like what you have done with the suits. I do not like the heads but that seems to be the love hate on this blog. You do a great job of using pastels! They look really good!

**Thesneakycyberman**

When I saw Gundam, I just HAD to click on this. Now, even though I don't play 40k as of yet, I really want to play against that army.

**7yler**

Hi everyone!
My army had to battle the forces of Chaos. A HUGE army led by Typhus, with no less than 100+ zombies, and 10 Nurgle Spawn, to name a few.

Thanks goes to my good gaming buddy Morehammer for the battle report and awesome pictures!
Check it out!

I love your army, very awesome

**Squigsquasher**

What you need to make now is a giant robotic Tako Luka.

This army is brilliant! The battlesuits work really well.

**Samurai_Eduh**

Sorry, while your painting is top notch, I cannot get behind this army at all. This is so far from what would fit in the 40k universe its not even funny. But like I said, great painting and modelling skills.

**Ovion**

If you want a fluffy justification, I can think of 2 without even trying.
1: Fabius Bile passed through the area - the oversized heads are the result of his meddling, the Tau, being Tau, are not going to ostracize or kick out the victims.
Furthermore, due to the effects of Biles attentions, they're significantly improved warriors, so quickly rose through the ranks.

2: It's a respected sub-species within the empire, thus given places within the military supporting the Fire Caste.

**thesilverback**

Everytime I see this army brings a smile to my face and reminds me why I play Orks - the comic relief of the 40 K universe. Keep up the good work.

**Deacis657**

These are Awesome!!

**Casey's Law**

Love the new additions 7yler! I can't get enough!

**kwah**

Awesome paint job and it kinda made me laugh.

**Mecha_buddha**

amazing broadside and the mospeada stealth suits are awesome.

**bRianStorm**

These are fantastic, loving the gunships, however I am convinced the Decals are transfers of some kind. Probably a clue in the whole model being glossy, as I doubt the transfers would work on a matt surface and so would have to be on a gloss surface

Decal
n.
1. A picture or design transferred by decalcomania.
2. A decorative sticker.

**Vineheart01**

dear lord that is some impressive work. If you put that on the table in front of me i think my turns would take 4x+ as long cuz i would keep going "Wow, thats awesome" and pausing.

Whether you sculpted the anime heads or they were a doll you found either way its hilariously awesome. Excellent painting n whatnot too.

**Casey's Law**

7yler! Just had a thought.

Any chance we could see a tutorial from you on decals? I'd love to know how to do them to your standards, they look insane.

**Archon Tobias**

Im not one for tau...

BUT THESE ARE FLIPIN' AMAZING

**7yler**

Hi everyone! Thanks for all the comments!

I've got new units! and the OP has been updated!

So.. my Broadside 'Strike-Freedom', has been feeling pretty lonely, and I finally found the last pieces to make his new friends.
This project in itself took well over a year to source the parts to do this.
Introducing: The RX-75 Gunside Gang!

**Casey's Law**

Excellent, they remind me of Tankor and the other tanks from beast machines.

**juraigamer**

I just want to see the face of your opponent when you beat them with this army, if they play GK or nercons. That is my only wish.

**Squigsquasher**

Odd, the tracked units look like no Gundam I've ever seen.

Still I like them!

Oh, and you should do some Eldar allies for your Tau, with Evangelion Wraithlords and Sailor Scout Aspect Warriors. And a Zaku.

**Crypto**

I have to say, it's so over the top in many ways it just gets really cool really fast. I really like daring inventive armies like this. Cool stuff, must look a real treat out there on the table!

**Anvildude**

Nah, the Zaku would have to be an Orky Deffdredd. Or maybe a Spess Mehrine Dreadnought.

**thesilverback**

This army is looking better and better every time, I look at your army.

**Zarryiosiad**

The RX-75 Guntank comes from the original Gundam series, where the three main Gundams were the RX-78 "Gundam", the RX-77 "Guncannon", and the RX-75 "Guntank". Seeing your Tau version of the Guntank really brought a smile to my face. Ah, memories!

**SagesStone**

Nice, Crisistanks. That can also probably be used for human auxiliary armies to show more low tech suits.

**AtariAssasin**

So Awesome

Please keep making these.

**darkcloud92**

Gosh those are awesome guntanks! What size guntank models did you use? I couldn't find any that size so I just made 1 super unit

**hotsauceman1**

Most people would take the idea of Tau as anime and not take it very far, They might paint their models in Gundom Style but thats it.
You went far beyond what most people consider sane for an army, and ended up with a unique army. Kudos.
