So when I use devilish I'm probably going to run them with Smart Missile Systems. Sadly, the Hammerhead kit is the only place to get them. Does Anyone have any recommendations on building alternative smart missile system pods ? I figure ill start with a simple drone base (though I'd prefer the smart missile one) and then I need to find something to use as the missile system.

Again, any recommendations would be lovely. Thanks in advance!

Do you have access to Missile Pods at all? Such as from Crisis Suits or Broadsides?

If so you can make a simple "press mold" with green stuff. Just press the front of the Missile Pod into a small mound of green stuff and when it dries you'll be able to "copy" as many missile faces as you need.

The rest of the Smart Missile is basically a box you can fashion out of cardboard or plasticard.

You can use missile pods as Warmaster said, if you bought a riptide it comes with 2 sms Pods, with some modeling the will fit will under a gun drone.

Both good ideas thanks. I hadn't considered press moulding, but since they're relatively flat pieces that should work without much hassle.

I'm also open to 3rd parties If anyone knows of any doing not-Tau

check out paulson games, he even has a thread of parts in the news and rumors thread.

Oh snap. Those "robo shields" on his site are actually for drones, not for actual shields!

Man, I'm such a boner.

Thanks a ton, all!
