Oh, and I've heard there are two 'famous' tau female commander conversions out there. Yet I've only seen one of them. If anyone got links, I'd love to have em posted!

Hasslefree do Elf heads which might be a good basis for sculpting a Tau female head. You only need to reduce the nose and add hair.



Otherwise some of their female figures might provide a ready sculpted head, given a slight nose job.









The GW Shadowsun kit includes a bare head as well as a helmetted head.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/266788/1134245.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/266788/1134245.page GMT Re:Female anime-style head, for Tau? here.
And a picture of it painted here.

I'll check hasslefree's miniatures out, thanks for the tip.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/266788/1134273.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/266788/1134273.page GMT Female anime-style head, for Tau? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/266788/1134295.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/266788/1134295.page GMT Female anime-style head, for Tau? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/266788/1135081.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/266788/1135081.page GMT Female anime-style head, for Tau?

I think you can get away with filing down the nose a bit, and scribing the Y shaped 'forehead nostril'.

There are very few official examples of female Tau artwork. The only ones I know are in Xenology (an Ethereal) and the bare head of the Shadowsun model. She's got a very tiny snub kind of nose, and strong cheekbones.

Natural variation means you don't have to make all female Tau heads look like her.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/266788/1135398.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/266788/1135398.page GMT Re:Female anime-style head, for Tau?

that doesn't seem very 40k to me...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/266788/1135401.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/266788/1135401.page GMT Re:Female anime-style head, for Tau?

Would it be a horrible crime to use this head without any resculpting? (I'll remove the moon pendant thou)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/266788/1135449.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/266788/1135449.page GMT Re:Female anime-style head, for Tau?

Well well. Yet another brilliant idea from the think tank.


Man, I remember that shadowsun conversion! I assume you're going to try a version of that yourself? Definately second the hasslefree idea (and infact I'll just take this oppertunity to plug them all round).

On a somewhat related note, does anyone know where I might find a male anime-style head, for guard? I've plans for a guy with a big sword that I think could benefit from more than just a closed helmet.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/266788/1135563.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/266788/1135563.page GMT Female anime-style head, for Tau? Have a word with a Daemons player, I think you get at least 4 spares, and give it a try.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/266788/1135581.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/266788/1135581.page GMT
