You think? I reckon these fellas would fit right in with the Tau.

I have fleets for the Star Wars: Starship battles game. It's quite fun but the rules need a bit of tweaking.Actually I should dig it out for 'Winter Blitz'

One of the makers, Fine Molds, is located right here in Toyohashi. Why? I have no idea. Their kits are some of the most widely available SW models these days.

Well, that's a drag then. Tau superheavy? :?

I guess, in retrospect, that having a plastic model manufacturer just happen to make the thing in 28mm scale is a bit much to ask.

Just had a read through that list. Not much in it fits the scale for 40k. The closest matches are all star fighters.

1/48 is the scale you want, or 1/35. They do have some on the list but they are supposed to be superheavy sized stuff so may not work for you. As Prim said, the 1 man fighters would be the closest things to fit.

y'know, having just watched Revenge of the Sith again (Kaz is out and I fancied some eye candy in the background while i painted) I reckon that my earlier comments may have been too hasty. A star wars miniature game would probly be cool. Ewoks n wookies = meh. Droid armies and sith generals = WIN!

Maybe Ive been reading too much Cryx/Dark Eldar recently, but I rather think the forces of evil out-cool the forces of good. Dearie dearie me...
current (2019) hobby interests
eh, y'know. Stuff, and things

Wow. And then Corona happened. Just....crickets, all the way through to 2023...
