Lobster
Printer friendly version | Rate this Article | Comment on this Article
Thanks to GreyDeath for this.
I originally created this conversion to be different, although thanks to feedback from various people I changed a few things:
- I added front legs and removed the sponsons with drones.
- I added sensors/aerials to look more like a lobster.
- You have to look close but I also added long sensor spines like whiskers that lobsters have but their white so you have to look closely.
- I also added 4 shield drones with missiles under them located on the back of each railgun.
- I added a shield to the turret and aerials everywhere.
- I added the extra legs and the added drones.

| I love everything except for the whiskers, slightly overboard on the lobster theme. Other than that its aesthetics are daunting to say the least!

| if the Tau used walers they would probly look like something the Invid would Use in Robotech: Third Generation or Robotech: The SHadow Chronicles

| This is great. Except for the fact that it\'s called a lobster, has gigantic legs and f***ing whiskers.

| why dont you use that \'T\' shalped piece that goes underneath the devilfish burstcannon to make the legs tauish

|
| How about you smoothen up the legs a bit, with greenstuff, then sculpt tau-like patterns onto them.

| Well, it\'s a cool idea, but most Tau vehicles are skimmers. Also, the legs look much to pointy and Chaosy. Maybe if they were a bit more sleek.

shouldn't it be a scimmer though?
|
| Comment made by Divinity on 13:42:35, 27 July 2007
|
| that looks more like a chaos construct, being so pointy and deformed as opposed to the sleek of tau engineering

| Should just keep the guns twin linked, but pretty cool conversion.
|
| Comment made by Extreme on 11:20:58, 5 July 2007
|
| It's a nice idea, but perhaps it's overarmed, and the use of legs as opposed to antigrav isn't really justified.

| I like it, but i would try make the legs look more tau, but couldn't you use VDR for it?

'Fraid you're probably gonna have to class it as a hammerhead with two twin-linked rail guns, without submunition otherwise THIS WOULD F'CKING OWN!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyway Ive asked and im not allowed to use it... unless I class it as the above...
