Not gonna lie, I didn't expect Mushroom Gunslinger.

[cernunnos]

Bro this is literally the best kitbash I've ever seen it's so unique

[full_of_blood]

tau auxiliaries are such a cool space to explore with conversions, i'd love to see you do more of this kind of thing!!

[jostonpowell]

Amazing work and would love to see more kitbashes either complex like this or more of your normal stuff.

[japhettheprophet]

Something interesting is in the Xenology book, there is a mycelium based race with 3 legs and what looks to be tau weaponry, so this could be an interesting way of bringing them to 40k or having a different mushroom people

[graefx]

I love this. The concept, the sculpting and kitbash, and the high blue-orange contrast. Just all really inspired and challenging. The basing also gives me an idea to tie into some old green dry brushed sand astroturf bases.

[Dohlenblick]

There really is... much room for creativity within these newer plastic kits.

[jonathanholt]

This is pretty timely, considering the fact that I've been planning out a new custom Tau army composed almost entirely of auxiliaries. If you plan on making more Tau tutorials, maybe you could make one on converting human or votann auxiliaries, like your videos on guard regiments.

[pedanticvampire]

This is probably my favourite kitbash you've done. I absolutely love the concept of "space-fungus-xenos", and the T'au need some more interesting Auxiliaries. Also, love that colour scheme - the blue-grey and orange contrast looks so good, might steal it for my models!

[sirkarl]

This is one of the most awesome custom races I've seen, needs to be made official. And you seriously need to expand on this as a small tau team

[gusheine]

I have no experience painting and building models, but your videos fill me with absolute joy, and I now have a kill team concept I'm trying to get together. Keep up the great work!

[margathapai]

Maybe cause last of us in the zeitgeist but I imagine these guys being unkbowingly imitators other creatures around them. A space marine returns from his mission only to take off his helmet revealing a twisting stalks and caps of the creature that replaced them. As his former brothers level thier weapons, emotionless and unaware, he asks "what are my orders?"

[tamral]

As a die hard Dal'yth collector, custom auxiliaries are SO up my alley. This model was fantastic and I'd LOVE to see more!

[Crushanator]

The idea of a Tau army with all the units as custom xenos race that's allied into the Tau Empire is really cool

[Legal-Ade]

A killteam of tau auxiliaries would be sick. Thank you for the inspiration

[SonOfTegz]

Reminds me of the land sharks from Battle LA

Also I just started a necron army and painted them in the same blue

[andrewjkipp]

I love this conversion, I could totally see him being used by the tau as a hazardous environment troops

[riddytmeed]

I absolutely love this!

If I were to field them as battlesuit proxies, I would add some tyranid wings in a moth or dragonfly like configuration, to make the fly rule make sense.

[cavemanbum]

I certainly don't have your same imagination to create an auxiliary race for T'au from scratch.
However, a number of years ago, I began using Karmans from the AT-43 miniatures line as auxiliaries for my T'au forces in 40K. The models were inexpensive at the time, and they look fantastic when dressed up with a wash and some nice basing.

[lightningwolf]

Definitely would love more like this! In terms of coming up with new ideas, Tyranids are always mutating into new biomorphs, there's always something to be made with them. More Tau auxiliaries would also be great, even if it's making better Vespids.
