So, I need to get a box of crisis suits, but I have a hard time getting myself to do it. I simply do not like how the models look to me. They seem stubby, the arms are way to short, and they are really boxy, and they might as well have no hands. Also, I don't like how the arms and legs seem to be incapable of posing from the sprue's I've seen. This makes me really sad because I do like the idea behind crisis suits, and I think they could be pretty awesome. So, I'd like to see if any of you guys have ideas as to how to modify the crisis suit models to a more respectable level than what they are right now.

There is no such thing as a hobby without politics. "Leave politics at the door" is itself a political statement, an endorsement of the status quo and an attempt to silence dissenting voices. |

If the Codex for Tau is going to be updated later this year, should I hold off on any major army purchases until I see what is being changed? All my current lists are based off of the 7e Codex.

i like the look of the new Farsight, the new Commander, and the FW suits...
i'll take all three of those looks in plastic, and be a happy man  ...
the new plastic Broadsides are awesome looking, so we are moving in the right direction, i think...

I guess this is like that South Park episode.
They all look pretty much the same to me. If you took all the figs in this thread (or linked in this thread) and put them in the table with all the official Tau, none of them would look out of place to my eye. (Except for the kit ashes one with the Necron Destroyer body necklace thing.)

Rumors are that there will not be a new Tau codex, just new crisis suit models and "maybe" new Kroot, unless they decide to do a Kroot supplemental codex.

I don't really understand this. The basic plastic kit is really static and awkward looking, even basic conversions add a lot more life to the model. Let's look at them side by side:

Even if they just split the arms and legs into 2 pieces, they'd be infinitely more poseable and fun to model. Apart from that, something similar to the FW suits would be great.

Remove the giant head and weapons+any other bits you don't like.
They're the perfect size, poseable, and look great with tau stuff stuck on.
