A theme army Idea

[Astrotrain]

So after hearing talk on an other thread about the animatrix,
I got to thinking about making a battlesuit army of human troops
using codex tau for the rules and bitz from the IG and space marine range.
Has anyone done this before?

No, I haven't, but their should be some articles concerning this.

yea I've seen it sorta done before.

Anyways the Pentinent Engines from the Witchhunter's codex look nice. But also what you can do is model it the way your talking about but use human and Tau Battlesuit parts

Then in turn, to include a more human/guardsmen infantry use the Tau Human Auxilleries rules. I believe they are still legal.

Okay before I embark on my bitz quest,If I play this army often will I

A)be doing something non rules frendly "Using a codex to represent an other faction"

B)Be able to count wins from this army for the imp side in contests like medusa V?

Good questions...... I would say since tau are a tolerent race "for the greater good" sharing tech with Imp troops could happen and would be IMP.
BUUT playing with tau rules and IMPforces being notoriously xenophobic I dont know.....
