I'm thinking of scratch building a Tau war machine for Apocalypse. I know ForgeWorld make the heavy Tau flyers to combat Titans but I simply can't afford those.
Has anybody done something like this before? I've seen plenty of scratch built titans and tanks, but nothing for Tau armies. I've been throwing ideas around, keeping in mind the sea creature theme of Tau vehicles. I was thinking some kind of squid like design (kinda like the tripod walkers in 'War Of The Worlds') would be cool, equipped with jet packs, tentacles for close combat and enough heavy firepower to bring down titans and super heavies. I want it to be mobile and shooty like most Tau, but I also want it to at least hold it's own in close combat.
I have never scratch built a model before, but I've had a bit of experience building terrain and buildings. Where do I start? What should I keep in mind when designing and building my creation?
