Assembling Tau Tanks: Advice please!
Well, Ive put together about every tank there is in the game, and none seem so complicated as the Tau's, save maybe the Necron Monolith. I was looking at the instructions for the Hammerhead, and I nearly went cross-eyed trying to follow the instructions (which is saying something, because I cant cross my eyes :P) Can anyone give me any tips or hints on assembly, or tell me about any problems you frequently run into when assembling them? I would really appreciate it!
-Kaldoth Edit: Oh, one more question. Does the Hammerhead come with a set of gun-drones in the box, or do you have to buy them seperately? I ask because I was looking at the box and the instructions, and it seems as if the gun drones should come with the tank. However, I didnt recieve any gun-drone sprues or extra bases for them in the box ???

Im afraid no gundrones for hammerheads or skyrays.
But never buy any other Tau tank but the skyray, as it costs the same in cash as the but skyrays come with all sprues, but no gundrones.

Re: Assembling Tau Tanks: Advice please!
lol... I bought a Skyray today. I was happy. DF, HH, and SR all in one! All you have to do is switch the turret... so wonderful.

Re: Assembling Tau Tanks: Advice please!
What exactly do you need help with? The hull, gun, engines?

Re: Assembling Tau Tanks: Advice please!
I think Mech Tau or .Mace did a guide on putting the tanks together plus how to make them modular.
[Edit] Linky to guide http://forums.tauonline.org/index.php?topic=12487.0

Re: Assembling Tau Tanks: Advice please!
I glued the top and bottom together first, then the sides, then the back. I worked out fine. If you actually want to paint the inside, I have no idea.
