http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/8.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net SM rules. It'll be led by a (cliche, I know) MotF w/ a conversion beamer. But since this is Deathwatch, and they have access to and on occasion use xenos weaponry, I started thinking, "Well, what xenos weapon has a profile comparable to a conversion beamer?" There's really only one - a Tau Railgun. So, I started thinking of modeling a particularly decked out SM Devastator, but instead of carrying a MM or a Plasma Cannon or something, he's carrying a Broadside Railgun.

And I thought, "Surely, I'm not the first person to think of modeling something like this...for whatever reason." But my search-fu has failed me. Has anyone ever seen a Tau-styled Space Marine? Particularly one with a railgun?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237142/674806.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237142/674806.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237142/674811.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237142/674811.page GMT
Now, a chapter dedicated to the omnissiah...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237142/674818.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237142/674818.page GMT 40k Lexicanum (http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Deathwatch) was what got me thinking about this - particularly this section:

"The orders of the Deathwatch are not merely the cleansing of xenos cultures. They also include the recovery and study of alien devices and artifacts. Sometimes it is necessary to use a weapon against the enemy who created it, although this is not taken lightly. The Deathwatch are constantly vigilant for sabotage, or to advise if it is truly safe to use a weapon of xenos origin."]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237142/675442.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/237142/675442.page GMT
