Ok heres some pics of my new tau army that im building, looking for your thoughts.







Next wip gun drone squad



1st wip FW squad





FW 95% complete just some tidying up to do

Wow!
That is some fantastic painting, and I never thought of "geming" the T'au Symbol on the shoulderpad... I might have to steal that idea once I learn how to gem properly!
Its clean, its highlighted and just... wow!

My only problem is the "basic" pose of your Forgeworld battlesuit. The options you have when posing them is almost unlimited! but really, the main thing is that you're happy with it. Who cares what I think!

Super wonderful stuff especially the suit again everything is so neat and clean

I agree the postion of the suit is a bit standard but he was the first one i built, while the others are posed diffrent they are all stood / walking as i didnt feel i could make them look good in a flying pose

Is that white actually a pale sand color highlighted with white? I think your colors are very stark, but that could be the lighting.

Nevertheless, you have great skill in making clean paint jobs. I also like the Tau symbol on your FCW chestplates and the lens are top notch.

I hadn't considered the gun drones' carbines to have a lens on the bottom. I imagined that is where the stun grenades shot out, but I must say, it adds a menacing feel to them.

Show more when you can.

I really dig the green and white with the purple accents. It's all cool colors, and it seems to work very well together.

The Tau symbols on the shoulder armor is an absolutely fantastic idea.

I just can't seem to get the hang of gems/lenses...

Edited for spelling error

A question about the white is it a off white, white or a bleach bone white mix...(hmmm off white again ) any who again it looks really good

WOW!! See, it's these once in a while great painting jobs that spur me to stop practicing and start painting! Great job .

Oh man, not again... another idea i have to steal - this gem effect is crazy

Some truly beautiful tau there. The painting is very crisp and clean, the highlights were done quite skillfully, the colors compliment each other extremely well. Very well done. The small amount of purple lenses adds quite a bit and was well executed. Additionally your base work is phenomenal.

One question though: how did you get your white so pure looking? Did you start with a white/light base coat or did you layer it?

@ Faol: it looks like it is a bleached bone/white mix with pure white highlights.

Looking sexy... Does the Tau some serious justice. Wick dude!

I love the purple lenses and lighting effects on that drone controller, hope to see some more of your battlesuits! The fine lines on the green are excellent.

All good work, the drones stand out to me the most for their bold cammo scheme. The upcoming FW squad is going to be a sure knock out.

This cadre is one of several upcoming collections being showcased on ATT right now that I am really impressed with. Lovely work!

I really like it nice and crisp, put's my work to shame...

Dang you for being a better painter than me Looks really good.

ok 1st finished FW squad hope you like

Very nice FW team nice bases too

your painting is so crisp ... I love it

Those FW are so terrible you should get rid of them as soon as possible! My phone number is BR-549...just in case you need someone to carry the burden of ownership for you.

Nice one
