Checkout this selection of awesome 3D rendered bits that would look right at home on Tau battle suits.

I got a tip about some great looking 3D bits on a Tumbler site, and man these things look cool!

A nice mech head now with proper gun mounts.

A snub autocannon,  I dunno why but I really like the cylinder style ammo container, like aircraft.  The design was used heavily in the Killzone series and I kinda got hooked.  The muzzle brake I picked up from an M4 tactical one.

Working on new projects now

Those are some great looking bits I can’t wait to see them in production quality! I don’t know what Fire Break’s plans are for making these a reality, but I’s imagine with a rumored Tau release in our near future these would be HUGE sellers on the secondary market!
