So after a flurry of clipping and dremmeling, and a frustratingly long period of propping and posing.... This is the best I've been able to do.

**Darth Bob**

While the idea is cool, the pose is incredibly impractical and awkward looking. First, I doubt the servos in his arms would be capable of holding up a gun in that position for longer than a few seconds. If he fired it, he'd not only likely be very inaccurate, but he'd likely go flying backwards.

Again, the execution is good, but I just think it looks off.

**1-i**

I like it,

Impractical look be dammed, you nailed it.

Certainly has the Hollywood/Anime action going and that is a great centerpiece for a squad.

Now, I want to suggest adding an underbarrel missle launcher but I think that might be going to far.

**forrestfire**

I like it. It's a bit impractically-posed, but I like it.

It would be really cool if it was in a "jumping/pushed back" pose from the recoil of the gun, like an action snapshot of, well, a snap shot.

**SilverMK2**

I think it looks pretty fun

**Bloodhorror**

Impractical Scmimactical....

You Ever seen a Storm Shield Terminator surviving a Titan Stomping on him?

THATS Impractical... That soab would be ground into the earth and as good as dead...

**forrestfire**

I think the ground would give out first, actually. You'd just have a Terminator stuck in a hole.

This I think this would work better, but then i also love the pose he currently has as if he's just in the motion of turning or having just fixed on a new target and about to fire.

**SagesStone**

"Say what again. I dare ya! I double dare ya motherfether!"

That scene's the first thing that came to mind when I saw it so can't be too bad. Unless he gets on a slight slope maybe.

**TheDraconicLord**

"I'm gonna bust a cap in yo ass, boy!"

Love it. Pratical my arse, this is sci-fi, anything is possible. Well done, I would be honored to lose vehicles against that.

**Ross74H**

just put a gun drone under the end of the barrel to hold it up in an "Im helping you really... oh just hurry up and fire the damn thing" way.

**Flinty**

Very dynamic and suitably cinematically foolish, but it'll be a git to store and transport, or is that being too practical?

**emmagine**

I use army transport cases, he already has his foam block punched out

**cincydooley**

Why isn't he a missileside?

I answered this question above

**Bloodhorror**

No you didn't o.O?

Or are you on about the badass pose being the reason being a Railside?

**emmagine**

Sorry, that was in another thread. My army is pretty static. I need reasons for my opponent to close on my front lines, and the heavy rail rifles have proven to be pretty effective at that, when combined with my other long ranged units. Even though they are only strength 8, they are still perfectly capable of taking out flyers from across the table, or most other vehicles. The missiles don't fit quite so well into my army makeup, but these do.

*edit*
Oh, and thanks for calling the pose badass

**cincydooley**

Ahh. I don't envy having to figure out how to get that into foam.

**Remulus**

Aww hell yea, I like that tau railside shooting gangster style
