A saw blade. Original and cool!
I use the ones with arms as my repair drones... a MUST-HAVE in a robotic/armored infantry army. The saw balde makes perfect sense. It can cut off broken pieces and repair them with surgical precision.
Nicely done, HP.

Yeah I see them as Engineer Drones, I'm thinking of making one with a Welding Torch on it as well.
So the plan is this
Today: Get the colour Pallet Sorted. It's my Wife's last day off work so I'm not doing much.
Tomorrow: Decals. This should take up most of the day.
Day 3: Fixing and resizing the Sniper Drone
Day 4: Creating the different Colour Schemes
Day 5: Creating the different Colour Schemes
Day 6: Relearning how to make layered PDF's. It's been a long time.
Day 7: Hopefully I will have released at least the main M.A.D.

I've placed the first test up on Dungeon CrawlersIt's a bit large at 4.1 MB but it offers Decals - A 1-12
- B 1-12
- Lined Decals
- Lau Symbol
I need to know if that is good or if you guys and Adam are expecting something different? |

Now I know my Adobe Reader updated last week, but when I downloaded this ALL the decals are overlapping each other, and without layering, I don't know how to turn them off ...
Color is excellent, though.
BTW, the wallpaper they are using on that page would be wonderful to get hold of for doing some adobe buildings. Do you know where they got it?

Go to the layer button and turn them off. It is on the left hand side bar or View->Show/Hide->Navigation Planes->Layers
I don't understand what you mean by "Wallpaper"

What I meant by wallpaper, is the textures behind the text. Either the tan behind 'Welcome to Dungeon Crawlers' or the texture behind the right sidebar would be nice to have around for doing old southwest-style adobe buildings.
I didn't get a layers button, but with your instructions I was able to find how to adjust the layers. It looks really good. Thanks.

Wow, those look Awesome! I can't wait to see how the others look, and the different colors! ;D Excelent work Highlandpiper! ;D Edit: Also Is there a certain way these should be printed to scale with the Terra Force minis, or is it already scaled and all you have to do is print? Lol figured I'd ask before I printed, lol.  |

 That should be it right there. Nothing has changed from the size. |

Definitly looks awesome lol! ;D I wasn't sure if you set the page scaling to None or if you left it as Fit/Shrink to Printable Area. Lol, Since I set Page scaling to None for Mel's GunCrawl (as he recomended a wile back for his stuff, lol). Also what bases are you using? I've been thinking of some ideas but those look neat.  Edit: I kinda have another question that goes with the bases question. I know 25mm bases fit in a 1"x1" square for GunCrawl, so would that mean a 50mm base would take up a 2"x2" square space? |

Got one made after work today and man it looks nice! Can't wait to build the other varients and colors lol! ;D I need to give it a little more edging with the marker but so far it looks Great. Now to find a base lol. The only thing I didn't do was cut out the inside of the gun parts, but thats just my preferance lol.   Gotta love the pink cutting mat Lol. |

That looks awesome! I have to admit that Adam's design is just brilliant! If I ever design Tau terrain I will be using these for the gun turrets!

I agree, the design is just fantastic! You also did an absolutely wonderful job on the coloring too! ;D
Will you be releasing the other variants and colors soon, cause these guys are definitely getting used in GunCrawl, lol? ;D

I played ERA OF WAR last night and used these guys (as part of my K'Vyk Army, that just happend to look like the TAU). Anyway, they swooped in and they first 5 barrages they fired eliminated 5 squads!
They ended up going 75% for the night, and took NO casualties!
They were the MVP of the game!

No pictures at this time. I am having problems with my phone, so I won't be posting any images for a while.
The ones I used are the ones I made as soon as Adam drew them. This was before you (HP) started coloring them. Mine are ones that I colored and I have to say, they truly were AWESOME in the game.

These look really good, so pardon my "Parduz," but perhaps you could make a "reflection of light" across the saw blade at a 45 degree angle. It looks good, but if it had a little reflection across it, then perhaps it would look a little more like a metal saw blade.
Just an observation.

I'm afraid your going to have to wait. I just got released from the Hospital today and I need to take time to rest. Nothing too serious but enough to weaken me. The doctors said it could take up to six weeks to fully recover.
