So I have 3 old broadsides, the crisis suits with the metal vents glued over the jet pack and metal rail guns, under slung like the FW models.

I could run them "counts as" having the new high yield missiles, but I want a way to represent it differently on the model.

My first idea was to get some valkyrie rocket pods, and cut a hole in the back and make a styrene track inside, so they could slide on and off the railguns.

Anyone else want to throw out ideas?

I had the idea of mounting some of the Missile pods for SM termies on the battlesuit (cut up to look nice of course)

Well back when I played Tau in 4th Ed, I had tons and tons of extra missile pods. It would be really cool to glue some of the missile pods together, shaved down the nubs for attachment, and make a little 9 pack of missiles(very Mechwarrior-esque), I think it would look super righteous.

I think the Valk rocket pods are too big. Another opion might be to take some plasticard and make some boxes, drill holes in the form of a rocket pod(the warheads don't have to poke out). That also would look really good, and you can make them as big, or as small as you want. You have tons of options. Keep us updated once you figure something out. I'm curious to see what you come up with.

How about the missle pods from a Land Speeder or Drop Pod?
