Head might be hard to source if you want a full squad of these. Also a pretty big model, with not much realism as a proxy for a flying mech. Maybe if it was something grounded. Bonereapers are fine for Tyranid Warriors or a slow Necron or Admech unit. Castellon Robots maybe?

My favorite part of playing tau, is that you could make anything you want as a proxy, slap some tau bits on there, and it's now 100% cannon, because it's not like the Tau species get any art anyway.

Something interesting is in the Xenology book, there is a mycelium based race with 3 legs and what looks to be tau weaponry, so this could be an interesting way of bringing them to 40k or having a different mushroom people

Amazing work and would love to see more kitbashes either complex like this or more of your normal stuff.

Noted! The Xenos stuff is trickier because it's more about coming up with something new rather than riffing off what already exists but I'll certainly try my best.

I love this. The concept, the sculpting and kitbash, and the high blue-orange contrast. Just all really inspired and challenging. The basing also gives me an idea to tie into some old green dry brushed sand astroturf bases.

This is pretty timely, considering the fact that I've been planning out a new custom Tau army composed almost entirely of auxiliaries. If you plan on making more Tau tutorials, maybe you could make one on converting human or votann auxiliaries, like your videos on guard regiments.

I love a good saurus/skink tau conversion too, there's a decent number put there but a tutorial would be amazing. The mushroom lad is properly unique and amazing though, always wanted to do a little kill team like this

@@GeneralAdvance I don't disagree but given the refresh the seraphon are getting in a few months it might be best for him to wait for that... or ask GW for those models because I'd kill to see some wild shit like skink cowboy cavalry

This is probably my favourite kitbash you've done. I absolutely love the concept of "space-fungus-xenos", and the T'au need some more interesting Auxiliaries. Also, love that colour scheme - the blue-grey and orange contrast looks so good, might steal it for my models!

Came here to say the same haha!

Yeah I'd be very interested in more videos like this

I absolutely love this! If I were to field them as battlesuit proxies, I would add some tyranid wings in a moth or dragonfly like configuration, to make the fly rule make sense.

I certainly don't have your same imagination to create an auxiliary race for T'au from scratch. However, a number of years ago, I began using Karmans from the AT-43 miniatures line as auxiliaries for my T'au forces in 40K. The models were inexpensive at the time, and they look fantastic when dressed up with a wash and some nice basing.

I have no experience painting and building models, but your videos fill me with absolute joy, and I now have a kill team concept I'm trying to get together. Keep up the great work!

Quick note: if you’re buying a ‘kill team’ box (units/starter set), I’d recommend buying a unit of infantry or a character to practice on as they have lots of detail. Or some boarding patrol boxes, some have a kill team such as Orks or aeldari (I think) as well as other guys to practice on. Or ignore me, I’m just some random internet guy and you should follow what you think

The idea of using ossiarch minis to create a base for a biomechanical model is truly a great choice. I would love to see some other tau auxiliary and just other species in general in the future. I would especially love to see a Rak Gol conversion. Also is there any reason why you save your basing until the very last step?

@crows_are_superior4464

Жыл бұрын

I think basing is left for last so that you don’t have to worry about messing it up with later painting, and so the model fits into it better. That’s just my guess

As a die hard Dal'yth collector, custom auxiliaries are SO up my alley. This model was fantastic and I'd LOVE to see more!

Definitely would love more like this! In terms of coming up with new ideas, Tyranids are always mutating into new biomorphs, there's always something to be made with them. More Tau auxiliaries would also be great, even if it's making better Vespids.

@Shep-1701

Would be really cool converting vespids from Warriors or something, no clue what you could do for the insectoid wings though

Bro this is literally the best kitbash I've ever seen it's so unique

I love this conversion, I could totally see him being used by the tau as a hazardous environment troops

I would love to see some more Tau auxiliaries from you whether it's the more established stuff like Gue'vesa or more esoteric stuff like this.

Maybe cause last of us in the zeitgeist but I imagine these guys being unkbowingly imitators other creatures around them. A space marine returns from his mission only to take off his helmet revealing a twisting stalks and caps of the creature that replaced them. As his former brothers level thier weapons, emotionless and unaware, he asks "what are my orders?"

@Oooze3424

Жыл бұрын

knowing how GW operates, a entire race based on the phrase "There's a fungus among us" is very fitting for them.

Now I know what I'm doing for my next batch of Deathwatch RPG villains. I've already raided the Dark Souls miniatures for Ornstein and Smough (as alien metal bodies like the Astartes fan film).

This kinda stuff would be great if officially added to the T'au range! Even if GW didn't want to write unique rules, even just having a model stand in for other T'au models would add so much flavor i feel like.

I do wish GW would pay more attention to non-mech T'au. It would probably be imbalanced as hell if they added the other races of the T'au emprie to the tabletop like the not!Squats, brain worms and super-psycher bears, but maybe for killteam at least? My ideal scenario would be if T'au was broken up into two armies like how Eldar are 5 and we get a separate army book for the Tau Auxillary Legion with models for the 20 or so canonical T'au empire races. A man can dream.

"What the hell is that?" The human auxillary borderline screamed as he saw the nearly 9 foot tall mass of machine and fungi walk by. His squadmate, a tau warrior of the fire caste simply started laughing in response. "What's the matter, never seen a Scrav Aioc before?" The Gue'vsa stated silent. "Don't worry, human, they are on our side thankfully. These guys are some of the strongest soldiers our empire can field, I've personally seen a few rip a space marine in half. Catch is, see those helmets they are wearing?" "...yea" the human muttered in response. "Those are needed not only for them to breathe but to communicate with us. Scrav don't talk like me or you, they communicate with pheromones. Strange buggers if I do say so myself, but fine warriors. Now come on, we should keep going." The two warriors looked once more at the massive fungal alien, and continued on their way.

The idea of a Tau army with all the units as custom xenos race that's allied into the Tau Empire is really cool

There really is... much room for creativity within these newer plastic kits.

A killteam of tau auxiliaries would be sick. Thank you for the inspiration

Really love the palette you went with. The bright orange with the muted grey just came out really nice.

Thanks for all the work you do Pete

This was such a good kitbash! I wouldn't be against turning the idea of kitbashing Tau auxiliaries into a series

This has some strong Kenshi vibes. Wasteland gunslinger. Love it!

This needs a full army. I love it! The color pallet and everything.

Pete this auxilia xeno looks awesome! It looks like the tau tried a crazy experiment, trying to combine tech with bio organic engineering.

This looks amazing, if only I had the time, money, patience and skill to pull this off XD. Would love to see more like this in the future

Amazing kitbash as always! As a Tau main, and specifically a Farsight Enclaves main, I especially loved this one!

That is a near perfect conversion complemented with a really thoughtfull and stiking paint scheme. I love it.

Yeah, this is incredible! I've been daydreaming about a kit-bashed take on the Xenarch xenos race that have had dotted references throughout various 40k lore texts. And this has provided me with a lot of inspiration. Great work

This is by far my favorite thing you've ever done. More mushroom cowboys pls

Enjoyed it? *Absolutely F'ing loved it!*

This is maybe my favorite thing you've ever done, the use of fantasy skeleton weirdos as fungal aliens is inspired and I think this all just a really cool idea

I am always amazed you come up with this stuff. This is awesome!

I think that creating new tau auxiliaries is an amazing idea and the conversion itself turned out great as well!

I really liked this! The departure from your normal kitbashes into custom stuff was really cool and creative.

This is the best idea I have ever seen on the Internet

Such a unqiue and cool desgin that really helps flesh out the universe. Reminding us there is more to the 40k than the major races. Thank you, fantastic work.

I love this video. Xenos really allow for kitbashes “outside the box”.

Please through us some more of these species. It's a glorious idea and a fresh change from just "upgrading" or refreshing what's already out there.

This would be amazing for making Tyranid Warriors too!

What a *FUN GUY* you’ve made there !

I don't know a lot of Warhammer, less about painting but those are the greatest mames for colours I ever seen

This looks just like a official GW miniature, wow! Pls more of this.

An alien mushroom tau gunslinger? Amazing. I always love your tau conversions.

I love seeing what you can do when you set yourself loose with all of your originality! More of this please!

Super cool idea! Auxiliary troops are such an underdeveloped idea and need more love

Love this type of experiment conversion! It's nice to see some representation for other races within the tau!

I absolutely LOVE this, and would love to see more homebrewed races! Just like more Dornian heresy stuff, too

T'au auxiliary kitbashes are such a good idea! I would love to see more for either custom or pre-existing xenos species

It was ... INCREDIBLE!

I love the idea of creating your own xenos races!

So alien looking and weird - GORGEOUS! Amazing as always Pete!

I love it, great concept & execution, & the colour scheme really pops. Also, the pixel used thumbnail made me see the whole thing as a Dead Cells or Hyper Light Drifter character, which was another level of cool!

That orange/blue combo looks great.

So orginal, so great! It would be great to see a series of this sort of thing

Dude, you continue to absolutely blow me away with your imagination, creativity and just pure talent. All the Kudos!

This video was really fun to see, and interesting in that we don't really see custom xenos kit bashes. Love the concept and hope to see more videos like this!

Nice job!! Has a "Battle for Los Angeles" movie alien feel to it. Nice design

Ok ngl this is my favorite kitbash you done in a while

This is the earliest I’ve ever found one of his videos

Yes you should do more of the custom xeno species. This fungus one looks amazing

I love this. I really want to see more Tau aux units from GW. Been waiting for you to do more Tau kitbashes. Thanks Pete!

Uuuh, some neat looking xenos, and a fantastic idea for mossy bases. Nice.

This is a super unique idea and flawless execution.

it is amazing how you create a very unique look here with just a few kits and a little sculpting! loved this, would like to see more in that direction!

That's fantastic! I think the greenstuff tendrils was both fitting and a really sneaky way of combining the Tau and Tyrannid pieces. I'd love to see more stuff like this - or even more takes on this race.

Thank you , Pete . 🐺

This is so cool, probably my new favorite video of yours! I’d love to see more of this race or just similar conversions in general!

Absolutely love it! If you wanted to go even harder into the whole crisis proxy you could possibly use tyranid warrior arms and replace their 2 armed cannons in a similar way but using heavy/special weapons used by crisis suits. And considering how many weapons you can have on a crisis suit you could use all 4 arm slots to give it 4 arms and have the upper arms like you have done, but had lower arms with the heavy cannon.

Wow, dude this is phenomenal. I’m always so psyched when you post, the creativity is out of control. 🎉

Oh dude tau races? Awesome stuff, loved the idea of random aliens ever since I found out about the Tarellians

I think this was a really great xenos race really cool and unique!

I would truelly love to see more "Custom" race or just stuff

Those torso crumpets in the lower arm-holes are unsettling

More of these guys please. Super unique and cool conversion.

One of my favorite designs and color pallettes you've done!

Man I love this way too much. Scan it make some files for it so we can paint it

Hell yeah! The depths of imagination anything is possible.

More like this! It's cool seeing you create your own unique race

Love this! The Tau really could use expanding upon ❤

Fantastic conversion.

This looks like a new Killteam waiting to happen, love the idea!

Would love to see more of this!

This reminds me of the mushroom bounty hunter from The Clone Wars series. That and the guy that would use his hat like a snowboard. I like it

More kitbashes like this please ! amazing stuff

This model looks like something straight out of Warframe, awesome work!

This is a beautiful and very unique work!

This is so amazingly original. I love it! I’d love to see more

Love this kind unique kind of conversion

Awesome. Keep em coming. Original concepts are always a good thing.

I would love to see more of this race!

Loved this! Very cool and unique!
