Neverending Tau'ry


A fresh wave of T'au today.




Forge World stuff, this, the resin Crisis Suits. Elites in experimental armour, doing all the usual T'au stuff - shooting, flying and running away.

This guy is actually Shas'o Ralai, if that means anything to you

Apart from even more ludicrous gunnage than the average Crisis suit, these guys are distinctive for having equipment that makes it even harder to get them in melee. You knock two inches off your charge roll when attacking them, thanks to their Photon Casters, which is just plain mean.

This is an XV89 suit, a heavy Crisis suit basically

To fit in with the rest of the T'Pau army, they have the standard colour scheme. But some orange flashes so they stand out, or so that Kas can field them as commanders or heroes when he likes.

An XV9 with Phased Ion Guns

Nothing much to say about them, other than thanking my lucky stars they didn't come with drones. Nice models, although as ever with resin, a little fragile. There's some ankle and wrist pins in this lot, after some travel fractures on the way here from the UK.

XV9 with twin linked burst cannon, effectively a normal Crisis Suit's worth of gun on each arm

A couple more of these to come, but for now, time for something different!

  1. Any more Fire Warriors to come? I feel the T'Pau Sept is going to struggle with its Troop choices.

    1. Only if the T'pau sept is taking battalions! I'm sure the command shortfall can be balanced out by the surplus firepower. Works for America, at any rate.
