Didn’t think we would learn so much about Dave’s bits today
Somehow it's even worse that it's not him doing the talking about them.
@@crapparc so much worse
If you're adding some stray beings to the Sakura, maybe add Lizardmen as well. Clashing the worlds of warhammer and age of sigmar and using beings from an army that also fights for the good side. Kroxigor or a quick Sakura Skink would look epic
I’ve always considered the Tau to be the 40K equivalent of the Fantasy Lizardmen/Seraphon, so this conversion makes perfect sense to me. And would look amazing! Consider the amazing combination of Aztec and Japanese aesthetics in the conversions!
@TheYoinkersElement it so happens that a friend of mine has a T'au army and I have a Seraphon one. So if Tabletop Time isn't doing the conversion, I can still do it
holy guacamole Dave, those modelling skills are unreal right now, you have truly become the Milligreenstuff 40k.
Damn id love to see a partially meched-out Minotaur beastman model for the Sakura Tau now
Fuckin' A!
I actually find your take on the Tau super interesting. I'd love to see more of them, and how this unique take on a Tau force develops...but I'm also super-looking forward to Chaos also. :3 Especially considering the strides yer making in modeling. Man, you made your own Tau armor. That's *cool*.
It's crazy how good the bits are at making the whole army come together as one awesome whole. Looking forward to seeing more in the furute :D
It’s really cool to see Dave’s sculpting skills improve, verrr niiice 👍
Waiting in between sculpting stages is very good advice! The two really fit well with the rest. Especially the beast man looks quite different while still fitting into the force.
These look spectacular, and in particular, the amount of detail you managed to get with greenstuff/milliput is jaw-dropping.
The sculpting work on this custom is incredibly well done
Would you ever do customs of other minor xenos like the Hrud or the Nicassar?
the niscar are already auxilaries so... sakura niscars?
@@vegacaj971 there's no official models though
Would love to see more Tau in the future!
Wow Dave! That sculpt came out amazing! Congrats!
Dave you did it! You painted a model! I’m so proud! Also those sculpting skills continue to blow my mind.
I think what would be good is a ‘let’s paint every legion video’ maybe resulting in a diorama. I think your channel will be excellent for it because you’ve already done large scale builds and talking about the lore while you make the builds make the videos so much better.
Maybe just me thinking it.
Love the vid!
Recently found Infinity and immediately went "WOW The JSA would make great Sakura Tau" so fun to see you all use new minis for them.
Sculpting has come along way. Excellent job 👍👏
Dude that beastman conversion is fucking sick. Excellent work, love it. And always happy to see more pipermakes models join the Sakura as well. I've been loving this series, count my voice in calling for more Tau!
Big thanks to whoever wrote up the captions, they were great!
I'm glad that my fav faction is getting love here :D
Your whole team is blowing my mind away and really inspire me and gives me the kick I need to step up my designs for 3D printing. Thank you.
Wow! This is one of the coolest conversations I've seen. This really helps me as I want to do a Farsight army with katanas, different species and more melee weapons.
Dang, Dave, your sculpting work both in green stuff and 3D modeling has gotten so good.
the captions were super cute on this video, made me smile :)
Never thought it would be so easy to work with Dave's bits!
Don’t make us wait. We want more Sakura Auxiliaries!!!!
Really nice sculpting. Also, always more T'au!
Love seeing on the tau army grow! Always excited to watch more
Anybody remember the Screaming Goat videos? Yeah, his descendant would like to have a word with you about that. Loved these.
Piper makes is an amazing mecha/tau STL maker - the Ghost Shrimp are amazing with their stealth effects!
I appreciate the addition of captions
thanks for doing this you've given me ideas for making loyalist beast man guardsmen squads for an abhuman themed guard force
Yesssss! I've wanted these so bad and now they're real!
Yer Tau videos have gotten me into 40k again, would love to see bits to make human auxiliaries, or just to convert firewarriors into them.
I'd love to see a giant Cherry blossom tree to go along with this army, whether physically or 3d modelled. I haven't found either a tutorial or an STL I like and it seems like that would be right up this armies alley.
Imagine this guy charging around a corner at you, braying like a Hell Baron
Well done guys!! The sculpting you all are doing looks awesome!!
This is what I asked for not that long ago! I just love this!
Also subtitles are great. :D
What a ripper that sculpting is so inspiring I’ve been trying to learn to sculpt more and I love this
I love the lore of your tau axillary. I might try to make a story around it.
I just thought of an idea for some Sakura Auxiliary; kitbash some Skaven models or find some other ratmen models to use. And for a narrative reason to have these, they're used to squeeze into spaces most other species are too big to get into and makes necessary repairs.
Beastmen are so iconic, adding them to 40k is something I've always wanted.
I remember converting one of the old, old, old beastmen models to have an augmented eye, metal leg and boltgun/chainsword combo.
This was 19-20 years ago though xD
PiperMakes has awesome Tau stuff ! I immediately recognized the work a few videos ago.
Some of the best out there !
And honestly, adding your bits to them you can indeed already be done.
And honestly, i did see more of the Samurai style Tau before, and i loved them, and honestly, my Tau are very much jungle themed, more like they're going up against Catachans, aaaand i am not sure modding them now would still work out, but honestly, i'd love to. But for instance on the Battlesuits, my armor panels are all already on, so that would be hard to add the more Samurai looking plates to them still...
I also really liked the Robo Allies, and they fit the theme of the Tau, just more advanced drones basically. That said, you might think about replacing all the drones with those.
And yeah, because they do work together with some other races, you can basically go all out and do all kinds of weird things, maybe even mix several species into a single unit.
Have also seen some great conversions of humans that joined the Tau. Imperial Guardsmen in Tau outfits and with Tau weapons looks awesome.
Also, Wargame Exclusive also has some nice extra Tau ideas.
The subtitles are so wholesome omgg
I've wanted to do Sylvaneth T'au auxiliaries for a long time. A treelord with the riptide cannon would be a fantastic proxy. Or Kurnoth Hunters as Stealth Suits.
That sculpting is immaculate. Great job, Dave!
Now I need a short story of a tau beastmen auxiliary
Need more of this army
Looks amazing, can’t wait to see more here :D
I’d love to see Dave try another level of challenge and try making some Sakura Vespid bits/troops! Always loved the idea of the vespids but the GW models are OOOOOOOLD😂 Maybe the sakura version could be inspired by those flower-lookin mantis’s or maybe dragonflies?
Oh my god. Flower mantis vespid. I'm not there yet, but if I get better, woah
@@TabletopTime Oh no worries, just an idea for down the road! You’re doing a FANTASTIC job already😊😊
I enjoy a full from scratch kitbash, would love to see a full kitbash that's more pieces than sculpt
Loving watching this army coming together team sakura yay keep it up Dave and the team
That sculpting was sublime great job
Absolutely love the beastman conversion, amazing job !!
Ah yes, the "Drone of Iron" and "Steve-o, the goat guy". great job!
I love these tau videos I take so much inspiration for my own army
Dave's sculpting is amazing now!! 😮
I would love to see a kitbashed/ reimagined vespids because of them still being finecast
LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS!!! i’m so excited to see more Xenos (and maybe even some custom Xenos species) in the future!!!! you both did such an amazing job!!!
I'm converting a couple squads of Skaven to take the place of the Kroot, and I have already taken your lead with Humans mixed into the Firewarrior Squads(Although always with Ta'u leaders)
A robot with a shield would be great for leading charges btw expecially with the backpack blaster which could shoot overtop of it.
MORE TAU PLEASE AND THANK YOU!
im just in need of a table full of imperial beastmen, but seeing them getting some tau love its enough
The subtitle work is 10/10
You should convert some skinks as tau auxiliaries, they would look awesome!
Hot Diggity Damn!! I want a whole army of Samurai Tau Beastmen!!
I'd love to mess around with Dave's bits!
Awesome idea
Nice work and surely Dave you have more bits at home ! 😂
I wonder if a panel line scraper would help with making the grooves in the sculpted armor even more crisp?
A bull-gor broadside auxiliary would be awesome
Reeeally impressive greenstuffing!
This is great! Thank you
I think a great conversion for the Sakura aux line could be a Sslyth! The more unique and wild, the better!
Wil you guys add some Kroot to your army?
Since Tau are confirmed to have trade relations with the League of Votann, could we see a Squat join the auxiliaries? Might help fill out the abhuman group. Could add an Ogryn, too. Sakura could have a rather diverse auxiliary.
You guys inspired me to make my Farsight enclave Tau army. I'm not a fan of the Brave New World style regular Tau, and I love some good rebels.
Beastmen technically are allowed by the imperium if you go by early 40K lore, beastman imperial guard used to even have models
more tau!!!! and more custom chapter titles and subtitle comments from liam! *boom*
Beastmen are so underrated in 40k! This guy rules.
Ah....well if the Imperial Guar-er.....ASTRA MILITARUM can't take Beastmen any more, someone should. Nice work! I've done stuff in the past for tau auxiliary...if they're shooty , counts as Fire Warrior, stabby, counts as kroot, fast, counts as Vespid. Easy as!
Mooaaaar gue-vessa. Never enough gue-vessa!
Would love to see even more beastmen of different types.
The army is coming on great can’t wait to see more of it evolving
Ps I might be wrong but didn’t Jen do a sister of battle model with an organ out the top? Will she be making her own army some day?
I would love to see a Tau lizardman or Tau Skink squad
This is pretty cool
Damn that was amazing!
Who had Jen saying "Dave's bits" on TTT bingo?
Yay for the cc! Funny and very useful as a non native speaker
I really wanna see some properly armored kroot!
putty work is awesome
Now I want to start a tau army
I can't help but think when Jenn said crispies it was because of Tris
Again with the Felinids, Dave...😁
40k Beastmen that aren't chaos aligned? Sweet!
Yes yes yes !!!!! For the greater good
Do some Tau Ogor Auxiliaries!
Pretty dope
I think some tau humans would be sick
wow super cool i have a cool idea for a video
you have made large scale space marines and so why not to make them standard size
Just an idea but it would be cool to have an armoured up ogryn as one of the mechs
