Tau Gang?

[Wolfman122]

Hiya!

Thinking of staring Necromunda with some friends that play 40k. As usual I don't like taking all the same-old-same-old gangs so I was thinking of building a Tau gang. I'd use one of the rule sets for an existing gang, but with Tau models converted to fit. I have a few different ideas so I thought I would get some feedback from you lot as to what you think:

Tau Stealth Gang (Delaque)

Gang Leader - Pathfinder Shas-Ui (http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat1300153&prodId=prod1060309)
Gangers - Pathfinders (http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat1300153&prodId=prod1060304)
Juves - Gun drones (http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat1300153&prodId=prod1060312)
Heavies - XV15 Stealth Armour (http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat1300151&prodId=prod1060281)

Tau Kroot Gang (Cawdor, or maybe Escher)

Gang Leader - Vespid Sting Wing (http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat1300153&prodId=prod1060299)
Gangers - Kroot Squad (http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat1300152&prodId=prod1060295)
Juves - Kroot squad converted with pistols
Heavies - Krootox (http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat1300152&prodId=prod1060293)

Tau Combined Gang (Van-Sar)

Gang Leader - Tau Ethereal (http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat1300150&prodId=prod1060273)
Gangers - Firewarriors (http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat1300152&prodId=prod1060288)
Juves - Kroot Squad (http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat1300152&prodId=prod1060295)
Heavies - Krootox (http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat1300152&prodId=prod1060293)

So thats the way I am leaning at the moment, but I am not sure if I want to lean towards kroot, tau, or combined. I'm also not sure if stuff like the Krootox will be way too large for necromunda, or if the scale isn't such a problem? A kroot gang would probably fit in better with the story of necromunda, as they could be outcasts, but a proper squad of pathfinders doesn't really fit into the undercity backstory!

Anyone got any good suggestions?

I thnk that your choices for the all tau gang would make the most sense, the krootoxes are way out of scale and tau are very human like.

The juves = gundrones par i'm not so sure about though, maybe they could be kroot.

I would have to disagree, if you could switch out the krootox for a stealthsuit I think the combined gang would work the best (Although I do love Delaque)

Perhaps a Delaque gang with the following might work well?

Gang Leader - Ethereal
Gangers - Pathfinders
Juves - Kroot
Heavy - Stealth Suit

Gives a nice mix of models, easy to tell what is supposed to be what, and won't look too out of place. I'll need to convert the quite a bit of stuff but thats half the fun! :)
