You always hear the question: "How did you get into the hobby?", and for me it was getting bored with assembling fighter jet models.
I could never afford the good jet kits either, lol. Plus those things had a ton of components, we're spoiled by Games Workshop when it comes to piece count, believe me.
I saw this from the Rogue Trader rulebook the other day and thought it may be art for the origins or inspiration for the Tau / Kroot models. Hey who knows how the art guys come up with this stuff, and we all know that 40k history tends to repeat itself IMHO...
I mean that thing on his head kinda looks like a Shield Drone, and hes got a "pulse" like gun too.
What do you think? -MBG
