A project of Epic dimensions: Tau army in 6mm

(1/4) > >>

Sgt. Scream:
It\'s more than 20 years since my mates and I got into the whole tabletop gaming hobby. We started with Warhammer 40,000 (which we still play today), got into Battletech, Necromunda, Blood Bowl, Force On Force, Modern Combat and many others. Most of them we still play from time to time.

The latest game we have decided to build forces for is Epic 40k. Although no longer produced and not supported by GW any longer, it has a huge and living web community that stepped up and took the place that GW left behind when they decided to drop all Specialist Games.

Finding miniatures also wasn\'t that hard since there is plenty of second hand stuff to be found and a growing amount of little companies that supply some really nice looking 6mm Sci-Fi stuff that can be used as a Epic \"look-alike\" model.

With that in mind I was aiming for a TAU army. What is shown on the pics is a mix of original Forgeworld Epic TAU miniatures and some Onslaught Miniatures \"Okami Technocracy Combine\" troops. They mix together quite well I\'d say.


The begin of yet another project: 6mm TAU for Epic 40k


Onlaught Miniatures: to the left what is going to be my Shas\'O Crisis Commander and a stand with a Battlesuit team to its right. I really love those - they are perfect Tau look-alikes.


FW Tau Ethreal with shield drones and flanked with Onslaught miniatures\' troopers that are going to be my Fire Warrior Cadre.


Forgeworld\'s \"Piranha\" light skimmer.


Forgeworld \"Tetra\" recon speeders.


Perfect miniatures to be used as \"Devilfish\" APC.

Not shown in the pictures are my Air Caste Support Formations (Barracuda, Tigershark AX-10 and Orca). I have ordered even more infantry, tanks and some stealth suits to further enhance my forces. This is going to be a side project but I might already take them (primer only as they are) with me for a game within the next two weeks. If I do, I promise I\'ll take some pictures.

The Air Caste is lending its support to my Firewarrior ground units:


Manta, Tigershark AX-10, Barracuda Fighters and Orca Dropship

More air units are going to be purchased soon, I just need to get paid for this month first ;-)

Sgt. Scream:
Have mercy regarding my skills, please...  :blush2:
So, here they are: my first ever painted 6mm miniatures. Six bases of Tau Firewarriors, using proxy models by Onlsaught Miniatures and a Forgeworld Ethereal (+drones) upgrade.



Ethereal and shield drones


I have added some flock to create little bushes.


Start of my infantry forces for Epic Armageddon.




Their transport tanks are going to be next in line for painting.

Hotwing:
Nice to see some 6mm Tau. Do you know these miniatures - http://www.onslaughtmini.com/

mordor:
Wow, sieht sehr sehr interessant aus :)
Die Umsetzung ist finde ich auch sehr gut gelungen, die Infanterie sieht toll aus!
Freu mich auf die größeren Fahrzeuge, ich kenne mich zwar nicht mit der Thematik aus, aber die Tau finde ich am hübschesten bei Warhammer 40k...
Viele Grüße,
Lucas
