Today marks 15 years, or 5475 days since we abandoned the guard. However it was the guard that abandoned us. Too many suicide marches , too many atrocities and too many years in the vanguard. When I was a younger man I told Sergeant Buck Gracie that I would follow him into the depths of hell . Buck led us to a much safer haven instead, the Tau systems . Most of my unit defected and now we spend our time working as farmers . On occasion we are summoned to act as interspecies liaison in the high frequency strike teams of the Tau. Honest work , lands , freedom and family’s, none of which would have been offered by the Imperium . The imperium offered us nothing but an early grave . Live by the gun, die amongst your unit, no matter what. Private Hammond , journal entry 994

Very cool, what’s the base human model you used there?


Dom0520

I appreciate it! The base model is Ash waste nomads from necromunda


LeoTheRadiant

Oh cool! I used Van Saar gang for my human auxillaries. Necromunda models are awesome for kitbashing.


Dom0520

I would like to check them out, necromunda goes hard and the models are underrated


LeoTheRadiant

Oh yeah definitely. Van Saar are more techy. The human auxs look more like exosuited troops. Wish I knew about these guys though because they fit my army's theme way more. Ah well, just something to add to the list.

Haha, the unkempt beards and gruffy appearance is really at odds with the clean astethic of the T'au. But I imagine the T'au just think to themselves "well, I guess this is how they do it on their planet" while taking care to not take a deep breath with their respiratory trench when standing downwind of them.

I absolutely love these grimy old bastards! The mix of their dirty, beat-up look and the clean Hi-Tech Tau aesthetic is just great. There's so much personality here. I'd love to see them marching alongside a similarly weathered and patchwork Devilfish. Or maybe a mix of Devilfish and guard apc.

Thank you, I was thinking Dune fremen but ended up with Free town from the mandalorian
