Super Heavy Walker
Printer friendly version | Rate this Article | Comment on this Article
Thanks to GreyDeath for this.
The Super Heavy Walker (SHW) is a Dreamforge kit that has been converted by using Tau parts to make it into a Tau walker.
I added the rail gun to the top and added the Tau Drones as shields. I added a hatch to the top of the SHW with the Tau commander looking through his binoculars at a fresh kill.
There is some storage added to the original model, and the sensor spines and bits were added to it to make it look more Tau-like. I added the front sites from the Hammerhead under the rail gun also.
I painted the entire conversion in a desert color and then tried to use a nice Tau blue and bright color that would tie in the Tau look to the whole thing.

| OMG! that's awesome. If the DreamForge kit is still available I gotta get me one of these! Great conversion. All I can say is "I'm not worthy!"

| Well, for a farsight enclave this is tau enough, and it fits in perfectly with the crayfish.

| great idea, but Tau are the most technologically advanced race in the WH40K universe, so the walker thing isn\'t really Tau. otherwise, great job!

| I agree with Droids...it's really, really impressive and it looks great, but it doesn't look very Tau.

| nice, but way to mechanical. the tau machines have a sort of feel and grace to them and their vehicle's.

You obviously put a lot of work into it, and kudos for that.
However, it really doesn't look veru Tau-like. It has a steam-engine feel that, whiule unique, doesn't fit in with the other Tau technology.

Very well done has quite an impact and has great look, however im sure the tau take care enough of their vehicles so they don't rust up. (thats what it looks like). But wonderful work yeah.

| Tau aren't really walker types, but that thing rocks, the best hing i've seen so far, reminds me of the stuff from forgeworld. i'd hate to see what that could do on the battlefield ;)

| Finally, a tau titan! Have you seen the Manta on forgeworld? That and this walker are sadly the only really large tau vehicles, which is disappointing. I hope you make more large tanks or other heavy weapon platforms like this, you are great at it!
