Work in progress of my prototype battlesuit, the XV117 Abyss.





This might end up counting as a Ravarna once FW releases rules for it, but currently it has more guns than any one model should ever have. If you'd like to check out the rest of my WIPs, my full project log is located on Warseer here: http://www.warseer.com/forums/showthread.php?374513-Dubstep-Tau-%28Pic-Heavy%29

Needs more guns. And a sword. Because everything in 40k has too many guns.

To make up for the pilot being 'armless.

I'm OVER 50 (and so far over everyone's BS, too).
Old enough to know better, young enough to not give a ****.

That is not dead which can eternal lie ...

... and yet, with strange aeons, even death may die.

Very nice. I think the mouth is a bit out of character for the Tau, but otherwise, looks great

I get the Metal Gear Rex vibe, as well. Or a Tau take on a Warhound, but smaller. It's certainly a novel build - not particularly Tau in general form (the top half, at least), but the construction, itself, definitely is. I'm interested to see how this shapes up.

The first thing I thought off was a warhound, it looks cool though.

I might do that on top of the tau titan I'm building based off an actual Rex model.

It actually reminds me of the Vital Suits from Lost Planet, specifically the Jumper.
