As the topic states, I need some feet for the OLD Tau Crisis Battlesuits. 6 pairs, minimum. TLDR version follows below if you want more details. Please contact me if you have any to sell/trade. I may have useful bits to trade, but selling would be more preferable.

I was looking through my Tau stuff, saw I had spare Crisis suit arms and legs, the older OOP version, left over from Forge World suits (and others, not sure where they came from). I thought I could hit up eBay to get the bits I needed to make full Crisis Suits. Worked out, except I couldn't find enough Crisis Suit feet. I need 6 pairs, minimum, but I'll gladly take more if available (on one side, this could happen again and it'd be great to be prepared. On the other, I can always find alternate uses for bits, even extra feet).

Also, if anyone has ideas/suggestions for somehow MAKING alternate feet bits, by all means, please share!

If anyone is thinking about providing links to bits stores online, chances are, I've already come across it and looked (window-box, hoard-o-bits, bits world, and many others). But if you still want to drop a link, feel free, you may suggest one I couldn't find by Google.

Seriously, nobody????

Hey,

I'm new here, but I think this may be better served in the Swap Shop sub thingy

Hope you find them though

I think your best bet would be an online bits shop.
Crisis suits aren't the cheapest of models and no doubt when someone buys one they're actually going put the model together, feet included.

Lastly, it should be too hard to make your own out of pieces of sprue. Tau battlesuit feet are blocky as feth.

Thanks for that. I looked for something like that before I made this topic, but somehow missed it. Just now looked and saw that, saw I have re-posted there.

You obviously didn't read my full first post, especially that part at the end about having already looked at online shops.

Unless it's a Forge World kit, which has pieces left over, such as arms and legs (minus feet), among other customs, mods, mishmashes, random loss of pieces that happens more often than any of us would like to admit, and more (Some have used the feet on old broadsides, putting them together to be the old gyroscopic stabilizer support system, which looked cool). In my case, I had arms and legs left over from the FW kit, and have been looking online for the other parts needed to make these into full suits. Found everything BUT the feet. I'm assuming I'm not the only one who had this idea, as the sources I knew to carry these ran out of feet BEFORE everything else from the old kits.

This was also explained in my first post. I'm starting to get the idea that you like to post without reading what the topic is about.

I know this. Most modelers know this. And I probably will have to. But that's my "last resort" plan, if I can't find the bits I need. That's why I'm reaching out on these forums. Obviously.
