I have been posting to the Specialist Games forum, but I am new to this forum - please bear with me...

I am considering purchasing a Tao army, but I have several questions about the models.
The Moray is listed in the experimental rules, but I found nothing on the Forgeworld site that matches it.  Am I missing something or is it not produced?
The Whiteshark and the Tigershark... Are they the same model?  Have different pieces to model them differently?
Scorpionfish and Orca... Same question.
Human auxillery - are these models available?

Any other thoughts or suggestions you may have on buying Tao would be appreciated, such as average cost for a 5000 point army, etc.

Hi and welcome to EpiComms :)

Damn this restructuring of the boards :D :p  
IIRC the models you describe are intended as conversion projects based on commonly available models. JimmyGrill (the former Tau Army Champion) had a very nice long thread about it. I'll see if I can dig it up....

Cheers!

There is no official parallel between the FW models and the Tau list.

The FW line is just stuff they felt like producing.  When the army list started development, their stuff was used as a rough guideline, but it has since diverged.  There are several units in the list not made by FW.

The "Unavailable Models" thread in the EA Tau section shows various conversions to represent the non-produced minis.  Generally very impressive.

Thanks, fellas. ?I didn't think there was an official rules set, but I was hoping that the models existed somewhere. ?I guess a conversion will do though. :/  Being new to the game I am spoiled by all the 'stuff' out there, I suppose.

Thanks for digging up the info for me on this...
