T'au SEED Destiny: ZGMF-2000 GOUF Ignited (Heine Westenfluss)

The next T'au Battlesuit to be completed for my Gundam SEED project, this one is part of my commander's bodyguard unit, and will be in the colour scheme of one of the three ace pilots of the Minerva, Heine Westenfluss.

So that means a deep orange and red scheme for this suit, which will make the bodyguard unit a very colourfull affair, but that you will see later on.

The suit itself, apart from accompanied by the two needed drones which I`ll be doing in the future, is armed for rather short range combat, as befits the pilot in the series.  Heine was considered one of the best officers around, so I went to resemble this as well in his wargear.

The Inspiration

As said, one of the three elite pilots of the Minerva in the series, this suit is painted like his GOUF Ignited mobile suit.

Canon wise, the suit has a shield, heat rods and beam saber, and 4 barrel guns, so I went for this suit with a Shield Generator, and two Burst Cannons for the "rain of bullets" the GOUF could fire.

Next suit to build for the unit: Lunamaria's Sniper ZAKU
