Currently, the Tau range for Epic is only available from Forge World. However, some units that are in the current army list aren't available as models at all: Heavy Drones Great Knarloc Stingray Swordfish Narwhal (Scorpionfish) Moray Whiteshark The Stingray can be represented by the Missile Hammerhead model, possibly with larger missile tubes: Example conversion Painted: Stingray: 1 2 3 4 The Swordfish will be a slightly more complex conversion based on a railgun Hammerhead, but at a pinch you could go for a simpler solution more directly based on the Hammerhead. Example conversion Painted: 1 2 3 The Narwhal (Scorpionfish) is simply an Orca with added missiles: Example conversion Painted: 1 2 3 The Moray is about the size of the Tau Bombers, and can be very well represented by the BFG Emissary model (as I have done in the example); a Protector would also be a good choice. Example conversion The Whiteshark also isn't available at the time of writing, but FW is apparently already working on the model - in any event you can check out their 40K model at their homepage. |

I like the suggestions. Some conversions that, when painted up, I am sure will look great! dafrca |

Talking about painted models, the Narwhal (Scorpionfish) is already painted up: Narwhal 1 Narwhal 2 Narwhal 3 A Stingray and a Swordfish are lying around on my painting table (for about a month or so) half-painted, but I dare not say when those are finally finished. Maybe tomorrow ?  ? ?

Just a quick note tolet you guys know I just finished painting a Stingray and a Swordfish. It's already 1:30 AM here in central Europe though, so pics will have to wait till tomorrow. As a nice touch, I painted "07" as number on the Swordfish - 007 was the number of Wittman's Tiger at Villers Bocage

Certainly. I also expect this Swordfish to take out an entire Leman Russ Company in the next game
