Very nice !

Could you explain what the various backpacks/heavy weapons are ?

I'm guessing the Tau with no helmet is the leader.

spanner = mechanic. ?

fusion gun = laser gun ?

missile launcher = medic pack ?

other heavy weapon ??????

drone controller (shield thingy) = ??????

Hero: " You bring balloon animals and i'll hire a clown..... we can make it a regular party. "

Hi z ... yeah, I'd planned to double up on what the models are, based mostly on the UNA armybook ...

Spanner

Fusion Gun

Plasma Rifle

Missile Pod

Com Pod

... just a taster of what the models can be.

Leaders as models without helmets, odd warriors with decals as medics/leaders. As I said, based mostly on UNA ... Walts

Stevens Tau leaders had a 2 pronged hand-held scanner, they looked the part too. (designator ????)

Yeah, I've been lucky with the main eBay buys ... most squads have come with hand-scanners ...

... so I'll be able to use them as a variety of roles ... target-locks, leaders, anti-stealth detection, etc ... Walts
