The Biggest Tau You Ever Saw? – Army of One

Come see the rat pack squad of Big Shas and his elite Gue’vesa, as they battle for the greater good!

Gue’vesa are often the descendants of Imperial Guard troops who, during the Damocles Crusade, were abandoned in Tau space and chose to join the Tau rather than face execution. For them, fate has dictated that the Imperial Cult and the rule of the Adeptus Terra be replaced by loyalty to the collectivist Tau Empire and to the ruling Ethereal caste.

From our friends at Gabe of Thorns studios

Those are some pretty high speed Gue’la Tau auxiliary, by Gabe! I’d love to see a human piloted Crisis suit along these same lines.
