Tau Fire Warriors and Drones

Description
PLEASE AT LEAST READ THE LAST PART OF THIS DESCRIPTION! It'll save us both some time.

[Update]: Added a model for the two warriors, each holding a pulse rifle. Also, I've found that the texture error has absolutely no affect on saving the model, but you still might have to spawn it again to get the proper texture. Seems to mostly stick to the first time your spawn one and when opening saves (unfortunately)

Some custom alien soldier models for you to use in your tabletop gaming experience~
It's rather self-explanatory what they are but, as previously stated, there's 3 things I need to cover first.

Models from left to right are: Gun Drone, Missile Drone, Fire Warrior Shas'ui, Fire Warrior, Marker Drone, Shield Drone.

-----------------------------------------

1) IMPORTANT! While the drone models seem to work fine regardless of circumstance, the Fire Warrior and Fire Warrior Shas'ui models have a tendancy to glitch up textures (mostly their own, though they also tend to accidentally change the texture of the default custom model cube, but not things spawned after it) The simple way I've found to avoid this is to spawn two models in a row. Otherwise it is sometimes the case that the soldier model will accidentally use the texture of the next item you spawn. Why it does this, I'm not sure, but I'm thinking it has to do with the sheer amount of triangles involved in the models.

2) Model Complexity: These models are a little more indepth than other models. That's not to be confused with them being BETTER than other models. I'm actually just a really bad 3D modeller and skinner. Sorry. Recommended triangles for basic objects in TTS is like 255, mine use around 3000 for the Fire Warrior models because I'm not skilled enough to simplify them without seriously degrading their quality. As a result (I think) the aforementioned error happens. Other than that error I have noticed no serious performance issues other than the standard lag when loading an item for the first time.

3) Copyright. These are made from scratch, by me (Do what you like with the models, just give me some credit if you use them for something else, please). That being said they're also fanart from the Warhammer 40k series. While it is completely within my rights to share my fanart, it wouldn't surprise me if someone/company threw a hissy fit over this. If that should happen, I completely expect that the dev for Tabletop Simulator will INSTANTLY buckle and tear down this item (Can't blame them, I would too). If that should happen, feel free to contact me and I'll send you a link to the texture files and model files. What you do after that is of no concern to me, though naturally trust that you would never go against the wishes of the owners of Warhammer 40k and continue using said models in TTS.

-----------------------------------------

That about covers everything I can think of. If the models should stop downloading properly, let me know, I'll see if it's a problem with the host and if it is, I'll try to find a suitable method for fixing the issue. Other than that, enjoy!

What program are you using to model these? Blender?

its really awesome to see some more models, great work, hopefully some day, we will actually have that many figures on the workshop so we can play with them :D :Perseverance::Spirit:

Eh, I could have, but they'd just send in a notice for using the likeness of their character anyways. It's more DEFENDABLE than if I use the actual names, but like I said no company in their right mind would risk anything, so they'd just end up taking down the workshop item anyways.

these look great but to avoid any hissyfits i would have changed the name to blue dudes in yellow suits or something of that nature. otherwise its great.

Maybe lol. I'd like to do as much as possible. Original plan was to at least work on Tau models for myself and Grey Knight models for a friend, but I had planned on working on other races as well to mix things up. Plus it wouldn't seem right if I only did Tau and Grey Knight models, heh. Still, Tau models are CONSIDERABLY easier than a lot of other models due to simplified body shape, and I can't garuntee I'll have much luck making models for other races. I'm certainly going to try though.
