Finish It Addendum – Tau Orbital

Long ago I ordered a bunch of Tau Battlefleet Gothic stuff including a partially used Tau Orbital box set.  For those who don’t know, each box has two tops, two centers, and a variety of arms of which each center can hold four.

I used the center and one of the tops to make my Nicassar Rig.  However I had a bunch of leftover bitz for a long time.  For the Finish It challenge, I flexed my dormant conversion skills and took a Tau Drone piece and a Space Marine Melta Bomb to finally use up these leftover parts to make this:

She’s an ugly baby and she’s not optimized for the best play, but it can put out a lance and a squadron of attack craft while also having two shields, a Tracking System, and another HP to make it moderately durable.

This will be painted at the same time as the other Tau defences such as the Orbital City and the Nicassar Rig.  Next: the Ork Nobs that are currently in progress and then Tau transports!
