I'm gonna need a heavy flamer for this heresy!

It is a good design, but I don't think it'll become canon.

Perhaps "corrupted" or Fallen Tau as a name?

It's a fallen Tau, they need war, but not a great goodΒ Β

If Tau looked this good all the time ... I might just hate them less!

Nice art but Tau cannot use the powers of chaos because they are so psionically weak. Demons don't notice them very much and Tau don't use the warp at all, not for travel, not for magic.
I like the idea that the Tau (their leaders at least) were designed by the Eldar to combat Chaos.

Actually, according to one of the newer codexes, they use a primitive form of warp travel where they only go into the warp momentarily to "slingshot" between points in space. It's slower than imperial travel but a lot safer, even discounting their miniscule impact on the warp.

Very interesting concept. Loving the sword.

Hehehe... Perfect... No stupid low weapon skills and all warriors have powerweapons! <3

Love it. Almost as much as I love how much people bitch and moan about Chaos Tau!

Tau that can melee...what heresy is this???

Cool concept. I don't see it happening very soon, but you can always play it as such using whatever codex you want.

Dark Eldar might be a good codex to base the Dark Tau on?

Only if you really want to downgrade your armour and weaponry. No even dark I feel Tau should always be Tau (fantasy goblins with cool stilt-including armour and a really big gun, which gives them more confidence (+2 Ld), just check the statistics if you don't believe me). I do believe there was a character that could give fire warriors more WS, that might be usefull to work with for this concept, but staying within the Tau codex would probably be best.

Fair enough. I'll admit that I've never played against DE before so I'm not familiar with how they roll, but I figured that an army based on sleek and mobility and some Warp sorcery would be the way to go for Chaos Tau.

Dark Eldar don't have psykers. They do everything in their power to minimize their warp signature, even going so far as to absolutely forbid anything psychic in their home city. They are terrified Slaanesh will find them and devour them all.
I disagree, the Tau codex does nicely for chaos Tau as well as the regular variety. Cosmetic changes aside (I still think Tau Firewarriors with goblin heads is funny). You might want to add marks and such, but GW does serious playtesting for game balance purposes, so don't overdo it.
Still, it's a free world, and if your opponents accept your Tau list based on Dark Eldar, go with it.

hey tau that actually look like they can do something!

Nobody is safe from the Chaos Gods, and Khrone needs new followers. *does my prayers to keep self free from Chaos*

The Emperor protects, and so does nice Power Armor.

Though it helps when your model don't fall apart, the sword arm keeps falling off and same with the banner backpack.

too heavy? did u pin it?
π: 0 β©: 1
No, it's plastic, I'd given up on him, that and I think my gules gone off.
π: 0 β©: 1
yeah i know this feel. stupid super glue... sometimes they just dont work.
π: 0 β©: 1
Never used the super glue I got, damn thing won't leave the tube.
π: 0 β©: 1
Though, I am able to get glue out of my plastic glue, by pulling bits out, I think it's gone off. Though it does work.
π: 0 β©: 1
yeah tricky business.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, it is hard as hell to get any glue out.
π: 0 β©: 1
i know this feel...Β
also when trying to just add more superglue on that to force it... doesnt work.
π: 0 β©: 1
I've nearly tried just cutting part of the tube off, lucky I didn't, it just don't help as after the part has been glued I got this bit of glue poking out and I gotta carefuly remove it.

i gotta try green stuff at some point.

I've always wanted to try my hand at it, but I always fear messing something up. I'm kinda one of them people who hates to make a mistake.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, it makes everything hard for me as I not only like things just right but I try to guess what my enemy will do. Which a good amount of the time fails.
π: 0 β©: 1
i know what u mean... and i dont have the skills to magnatize things.
π: 0 β©: 1
Same here. I think for me it will just drive me mad. I can only focus on one thing for so long before it drives me mad.
π: 0 β©: 1
At times I wish I wasn't so into everything been just right. It's alright, but it does get annoying when I could finish an enemy off and I choose to play with them for a while then I'm thrown onto the retreat and have to plan a counter-attack not the final attack.
