Imperial intelligence suggests that the Tau took swift action to develop the Kor'vattra following their repeated defeats during both the Damocles Gulf Crusade against the Imperial Navy, and during their first encounters with tendrils of the implacable Tyranid Hive fleets. It is believed that the very best scientists of the Earth Caste were given unlimited resources to develop new designs of starship. The project was titled the Kor'or'vesh, and it swiftly bore fruit.
The Custodian class carrier vessel is the largest of the new generation of Tau ships yet encountered by the Imperial Navy. It is a huge carrier, capable of transporting squadrons of Mantas and Barracudas which fly in support of the rest of the Tau fleet. As well as its own firepower, the Custodian also carries three Warden-class escort vessels.
During the war on Taros, the Custodian-class vessel known as the A'rho was deemed such a threat to the Imperial fleet that it was remorselessly hunted down by Admiral Kotto.
more arts like this please
wouldn't it be awesome if Forgeworld made this? even more so now with the whole Tau craze going on. though they seem to be focusing on their campaign of DKoK and Necrons.
but it might be a bit too big to make into a mini.
Forgeworld already made this -Spacecraft- as an addition to Battle fleet Gothic.( Forgeworld.co.uk ) This Spacecraft carries squadrons of Mantas -- where Forgeworld made the Manta ( Forgeworld.co.uk ) in scale with the rest of the tabletop game minis and that being the largest model they've ever made.
So yea it would be too big to be made in 1-1 scale to the miniatures.
had a feeling it was a real model in the picture. but yeah did mean a on scale version for TT and not BFG.
but yeah it'd be way too big.
It's the equivalent to all but the largest of Imperial capitol ships.
It would fill something like 4-5 square meters if it was to TT scale.
I've always liked how Star Wars-y Tau spacecraft are.
I fail to see any comparisons with any Spaceships from the Star Wars universe with Tau Kor'vattra ships.
