This is my first try with conversions. Well here it is~
The materials I've used are: A xv8 crisis battle suit, bretonnian parts, and tsao tsao gundam parts.





With some green stuff and clipping... Here it is- Commander Swiftwind- Pupil of Farsight



These are my painted versions down below

I like the Idea of using the Knight helmet. The Gundam stuff fits pretty well. Are you planing to do more suits this way?

Runs away as fast as he can from Gundam models.

Remembers fondly the guy at my FLGS who made all his ork vehicles out of legos.

Wait... I hated that guy...

lol thx guys... It's my first conversion. It's a sloppy job but it turned out better than I expected.

hmm yeah I have more spare parts left.. I will probably convert my xv88 broadside suits with the remaining gundam parts and bretonnian left overs... Right now my friends are pushing me to complete my bretonnian army T_T

I don't care for the little dragon on the top of his helm, but other than that it's rather quite nice.

Yeah, I was just wondering about the Bretonnian bitz used, seems a little out of place for tau, but otherwise, I think it looks great!

I like it! As said before though the little dragon seems out of place. I think some brighter contrasting colors to make it pop visually would be key in making it look stunning that might just be the camera angels or flash though. I hope you keep going with this and do some more. It looks awesome. I love that over sized sword.

Thx for the tips guys! Yeah my friends told me about the dragon as well, I just like the neat look of the lil dragon... I painted it with jade colour... (Too much influence from the romance of three kingdoms... ancient chinese warriors with huge decorations on their helm..)

Next time I will try something that fits better with the Tau. And again, thx for the tips, guys!
