Just_Me's Tau

[Just_Me]

Made yet more changes to my XV84 commander. I wanted to make his hip joint a little less prominent so it would be a more easily replicable conversion for future suits and looked like something that might actually be a feature of all battlesuits. I also adusted his weaponry to include a Burst Cannon which gives him great flexibility at 18" and fits with the premise that he rose to command through the Stealth teams (as both weapons are characteristic of Stealthsuits). At the same time I made those changes I decided I wanted to give him a more dynamic pose so he looks like he's in mid-motion:

It's been a while, but I've recently done some work on my Tau. Specifically, I've rebuilt my Shas'O from the ground up using the larger XV8-02 Chassis as a base. With two magnetized weapon options, a Cyclic Ion Blaster (aesthetically my favorite):

And one with a paired (counts as 2x rather than twin linked) Plasma Rifle:

I'm on the fence as to which is actually the better load out, though I've also considered that a missile pod would pair very well with the Ion Blaster (and his drone controller and marker drones) for a powerful support commander.
