Having worked as a farmer and woodcutter for most of my life i became determined to do something that would leave my mark after i was gone. Since then i got back to studies, and i have now a master degree in Electrotecnical Engineering as well as a degree on Electromechanical Engineering. On my free time i like playing and so i became interested in creating my own games or, in the shorter term, modding games to get something closer to what i would like games to be.

On a side note... what in the name of techno heresy are these?
Tau-ified Laspistols?

Humans doing reverse engineering on Tau technology would probably be somewhat common for those who serve as gue'vesa. They know human technology and they are given alien technology it doesn't require that much time for someone to think about joining the 2 things.

Still they look like pulse pistols of some sort, maybe a weaker but lighter version of the standard rifles used by fire warriors. Considering energy weapons need no projectiles, maybe those magazines are probably the batteries (i suppose).

Gue'vesa, I dunno... too.... too... Guardy with just remix of textures it seems. It just does not fit to my taste.

I never liked them, I find building Guardsmen within the Tau race, without Commissars or support heroes to back them up pointless and a waste of requisition, while the rest of the Tau army is dangerous, long ranged, and durable. If you want close combat warriors, send in the Kroots, otherwise these guys are just terrible with function and names I cannot even pronounce also...

I feel this way with Renegades in Chaos also, but very so much Tau...

If you start analysing it too much you will see that most armies have things that may end up being redundant. For instance leman russ variants end up covering simillar purposes. I wouldn't implement renegades or gue'vesa as copies of guard units, they have to fill their own purpose and do it well. They use different weapons, different wargear and while some overlapping areas may be explored (for example a renegade vox using his knowledge to send IG airstrikes against IG troops) it is just about using different gameplay traits on each one of them.
For example in my Veteran Mod i made renegades recruitable from listening posts as a part of my frontline deployment feature, this way newly fortified points can be used to produce renegades either for attack or defense, while the main base produces chaos marines and other heavier troops.
Renegades can be as redundant as Chaos marines in relation to space marines but only if you let them be redundant :P
Also with soldiers like that, don't tell me you would shy away from the Greater Good :P

i dont think they are redundant quite the opposite in fact as waves and waves of them make very good meat sheilds to protect the more valuable units behind them
