Epic scale Tau/OTC

[yorkie]

Hi,

Over the last month or so i've been painting up a small Tau force for games of epic. The models are onslaught miniatures, with a few Dark realm miniatures in the mix too.



Crisis Battlesuits.



Mechanised Fire warriors



Recon skimmer group



Broadside battlesuits



1000pts done.

There are llts more pics over on my blog here - http://stevenkelly1.blogspot.com/2014/07/epic-tau.html

Cheers,
Steve

Grand show - and nice choice of scheme. The Dark Realm skimmers fit in well.

Great work. Did epic have rules for tau?

[Vanvlak]

It does, at least for NetEpic over at the Tactical Command forum.

There are rules for Tau in Epic Armageddon, epic 40,000 and Netepic. There are also variant army lists and stats being worked on over on the tactical command forum.

Not following such things, it's news to me, so I'll be a little chagrined at the note I just sent to a friend who does.

Still, hope he finds your proxies as impressive as I!

Nice! Ditto Vanvlak - the DRM skimmers fit the Tau nicely.

Cool little force.  Shame about the Broadsides.  The cannon arms look silly compared to the original design.  Nice paintwork though, very cohesive looking force you built up!

Really, they are my favorite unit

Pshaw!  Just can't hold a candle to the original design

Seriously nice Tau there - love 'em!

I don't like the Onslaught not-nids, and I'm on the fence about the sisterhood infantry; but after a fresh look thanks to this thread, I'm tempted to see how much I can get for my E:A rhinos and use the funds for sisterhood APCs. That's a pretty nice alternative reimagining.

I like all of Onslaught's stuff TBH, even the Sectnids.

The new Sisterhood APC is perfectly nice too - you're probably only vacillating because you've been conditioned into "knowing" what a Rhino "should" look like for so long that when one doesn't, it just seems odd to you! B)
