That was exaggeration, but there was only a small shelf of gundam/geass kits. This 1/100 kit is a bit bigger than 6", and with the base it will probably be the same size as the warhound. Besides, I think the sleek look fits the Agile special rule very well.

And the last thing 40k needs is a giant kick-boxing japanese robot jumping around the battlefield. If you're gonna use it, so be it, but it looks nothing like an imperial titan.

Which makes sense given that the tallest standard mobile suits in Gundam are 18 Meters and the kit is 1/100 scale.

1/100 Gundam kits make better 'True Scale' Tau suit bases.

Fafnir wrote:The mobile Suit OP wants to use, the Astrea, is 18.3m. If the scale is perfectly converted (I doubt it), then the model will be 7.32 inches. That's not too bad, but for a titan, I'd expect something bigger. Not to mention that it's too thin to be an imperial titan, and too small for a single tau to actually fit inside and be expected to properly pilot the thing. A perfect grade would be much more appropriate.

Honestly, I wouldn't use it. I love gunpla, I really do, but without extensive converting, it just won't work. Much more work then it's worth, unless you happen to be Migsula. Sure, it's cheaper then most 40k stuff for what you get, but it just doesn't fit right.
