I now am working on beefing up the engines and also adding the Sky Ray wings. I am building the Rail Guns into the sky ray wings right now and hoping to have the looking i'm going for. Any suggestions as you guys have alot of great Ideas.

Thanks Jay

This Titan should be fleet, and be able to do the jumping thing that the suits do (which really hacks off off non Tau opponents). Needs the Comm stalks, shield drones and something biggger than the railguns. Maybe a larger plasma cannon? In addition I mean. Make it scarier than two twin linked railguns, if this is Mr Anti Armor Titan than bolt some more onto it.

The curves are very Tau though.

I was actually seeing it as a Jumper type Titan like the Geko's in Metal Gear soild 4. Comm Stalks is a must, I do agree. The Rail gun is s10 ap1 with long range. I'm not sure how to make it bigger and better. it's stronger then the plasma already but the plasma would add a bit more flavor to the model if done right.

It looks a little too squat. Too low or maybe the legs are too bulky. I agree on the beefed up weapons as well. Make them larger style railguns that the manta carries perhaps. Plasma cannons or ion cannons for smaller point defense. The missile wings from the skyray would be a good idea. Make sure you throw a few networked markerlights on there so it can use it's own seekers.

Looks more like a Daishi from Mechwarrior. Nice work on it.

my two cents says the engines should be larger and placed on the "back" of the titan, then the legs wouldn't look so bulky too. IMHO

cheers

Good job so far, but it pains me to see someone pervert an ExoSquad toy. Oh, how I love ExoSquad! drool.gif

Bigger Rail gun it is. Thanks for the input and I'll make it work. I'm in process of making a back mount Rail cannon. I already beefed up the engine's Not sure if I can make a back mount work but I like the Idea and if you all have ideas on how to mount it would be of great help but if not that’s cool I can brain storm.

Yes EXO SQUAD I know but my younger brother still has one in the box and this one I took for my conversion was missing lots of parts, so why not put it to good use. For the greater good.

Well, the FW Heavy rail gun is a good example of bigger and better (a little bit anyway smile.gif )

It's
Heavy railgun - 108" Str 10 Ap 1 - Ordnance1, Titan killer
sub munitions - 108" Str 7 Ap 3 - Ordnance1

So a bit bigger thumbs_up.gif

A single shoulder mounted one would look AWESOME cool.gif

Whaaaaat, the Fire Wolf looks way different =P.

I was doubtfull the unpainted model but the painting it uniformed with the rest really made it look more proper to your army. The feet look a tad off to me.. Other than that it looks good, don't over clutter it or anything it looks well as it is.
