and left cool story ideas about the origins of such a "heretical" IG design, thank you! I've been considering different plots and the whole Tau engineering collaboration + Gue'vesa axillary idea seemed the most plausible and exciting for me.
In this scenario, the Tau combat systems research/construction facility that manufactures the Phobos Pattern armor itself, also maintains an actual Tyranid hatchery on location to be used in live combat trials. As such, they operate on a remote population-free moon due to security concerns.
A major security breach later, and the only surviving Tau (the facility commandant) and his trusted aide and Gue'vesa hold off the escaped Tyranid specimens till a rapid response lock down crew arrives. The facility's personnel sacrificed themselves to buy him time to download the Pattern construction plan and hotfoot it to the extraction point, and he is clearly determined to see the mission(and their valiant sacrifice) through. The Tau force evacuating them are a special stealth-only anti-'Nid detachment sporting customized gear: XV25 suits and Super-Remora drones as well as a Longbow Heavy Sniper drone to neutralize hardened specimens.
"Bear with the pain, commandant! Hammerhead is inbound. The plans must survive for the greater good!"
nice, that project is developing
Bro.... post this on the Wh40k fanon wiki .... would make an awesome project there
A masterpiece and the tau without an arm adds some badd-assery to the pic
If he runs out of ammo, he can use his arm as a club :3.
And if space marine runs out of ammo, he can use that tau as a club...
AWESOME
is that a marine?
