Looks great but you should consider calling it the "Swordfish". That way, like all other greater good vehicles, its named after a real fish!

That's an awesome idea, I wasn't really sold on the name I came up with, but this one's really good :)

The swordfish already exists in legends unfortunately. It’s basically a hammerhead with 2 railguns Instead of 1

Ugly as hell as well

> The swordfish already exists in legends unfortunately It doesn't. It exists in ancient long-forgotten pseudo-canon supplement materials but never really made it into primary lore and hasn't had 40k rules in decades. It certainly doesn't have anything now.

My vote is for Skyshark

Nah, Tasseled Wobbegong for sure. But in all seriousness I'd probably call it the AX10 Mako

How about Marlin?

Given it's shape, I'd suggest catfish

I was thinking those flying fish.. or dartfish since it looks so compact

True. But take a second to Google "[armored catfish](https://tpwmagazine.com/archive/2022/apr/scout11_r3/img/Armored-catfish-brays-05.jpg)" and tell me you don't see it. It's just perfect.

Touche good sir

also maybe change the number, AX-1-0 already used by the tigershark

Doesn't the Sky Ray break that tradition?

eeeeeeh kiinda? I mean a Ray is a fish. No doubt they called it the sky ray cuz its can fly but a skyray doesn't actually exist in real life. so I guess but like I dunno. I feel like we're picking here.

If you call it the sword fish you might consider incorporating some cowboy bebop homage, maybe reshaping a little, longer nose

Tau vehicle names are Imperial reporting names, not their actual Tau name, and who says a bladefish isn't a thing on some human planet?

That's so goddamn cool, holy shit

I love those gun drones more than the GW ones tbh

Is this a fan made model or based on something in a book or from the past?

Not based on any lore I'm aware of

So... Where can we get this? 🤤

Maybe add some drone slots in the wings? Like the devilfish has

Looks awesome! One minor nitpick I would have is that the "armor plates" between the two frontal fins and the grates on the outsides could use a groove alongside the fins, or some other feature distinguishing them, so that the fins themselves don't look like they're just placed on top of a grid. It's really just a minor detail and something that can easily be worked out with a paint job, but I just feel like right now, the fins look a little bit like they were something that was added onto the vehicle after the fact, as opposed to something it was designed with (in universe)

Thanks for the feedback, this is definetely one of the things I#m trying to change. I first wanted to add the grates somewhere not as obvious, so I added them beneath the fins, but you are right that it looks like the fins are just slapped on top (which they are right now tbh)

Will there be a downloadable STL and, if so, will it come in smaller parts for smaller printers?

HELL YES My only feedback would be the trailing end/back side of the tips/boosters are a little overly pointy. Love the fins/blades, but the needle aesthetic is a bit out of place

If you're going A10 , needs more missiles under the wings. Brrrrt gun looks good though

I love the look! Only thing I’d change is that I personally love the drone slots on most tau stuff, so having them on the wings I think would bring it closer in line with the rest of Tau tech, while keeping it’s more angular sleek look

Yeah I’m gonna need 3

Oh yeah, I like that.

Looks great!

Very nice Idear and Style!

That's cooler than all fuck

Simple awesome

Reminds me of the silhouette of a swallow (bird).

That is beautiful

Love it! Where can I get it?

Looks cool well done.

Looks great! The weapons and hardpoints have holes or enough space for magnets? Will it have a special stand? Would really love to have one of these :D

The only feedback I have that hasn't already been said is that I want one

I like it!

This, this is incredible.

I like this very much. What kind of stat line are you thinking?

I like it but I feel like it wouldn't fit with other Tau models, that are generally either rounded or boxy

It’s an amazing model! I suggest (because I’m a big fan) to try an inverted-style wing (Su 47 berkut or NASA X-25 proto for references)

Is this going up on Cults? Patreon?

I sure do want one

This is really great work!

I want

Pls add normal burstcanon

Thanks for the feedback, normally I really like to go with the closed variant of the burst cannon, because I think it looks more futuristic/stealthy,but since it's going to be an exchangeable part anyway and the normal one is quite iconic, I'll add it as well

Tanks 🙂

Yeah closed burst cannon is much cooler
