Some pics of my Tau Broadsides that will virtually complete my Tau army. Only thing else I need to paint here is a Hammerhead.

**Zydragon**

Not bad at all, VERY bright scheme but it looks good in contrast with the field.

My eyes hurt off the highlights

**J.Black**

Very nice

The highlights on the black look a bit too harsh though, perhaps a couple of black washes could sort this out. The barrels of the railguns look a little shoddy in comparison to the rest of the painting; almost as if they've been drybrushed rather than shaded. Why not paint them white? I think that'd work really well with the colour scheme you have already (which i love).

**sluggaslugga**

Have you heard of blending?

**thesilverback**

Nice job, Interesting choice of color scheme but you have made it work. Hope we get to see the whole finished army soon.

**StubbyGB**

Very cool indeed. The second shot of them looks really good, I think the flash makes them look a little harsh in the first and third.

An army in these colours and to this quality of painting will look great. Cant wait to see more.

**Generalstoner**

I'll try and get some full army pics up soon, and sorry for the pics... my ability with the camera is not all that good!

**Generalstoner**

Here we go. The entire army save an unfinished Hammerhead and Devilfish.

**ChocolateGork**

Awesome!

Highlights must of taken forever to do!

I do wish their was more blue on the rest of the army.

**Generalstoner**

The blue is found on the support and heavies really as well as the Kroot. The Hammerhead will be the same blue color as well.

**ChocolateGork**

Yes but its so cool i think it would have looked cool on the firewarriors

**Nalyd**

Very nice work!

I think your models would look a bit better if you used a blending technique.

maybe some watered down asurmen blue and a watered down light wash of Blazing orange on the orange parts would do amazing things.

**SlaveToDorkness**

Washes=/ Blending. Perhaps someone else should learn some blending techniques...

Nice and colorful scheme ya got there. great tabletop look to them. I like how the spot colors denote different aspects and the orange ties them all together.

**Honersstodnt**

slave, in all fairness, he may have meant that blending would look nice, but seeing as the army is almost done at this point, its unrealistic to suggest that. Thus, another suggestion, of using a wash.

**yimkin101**

i find it strange how the heavies and kroot are blue and everything else orange but it looks AMAZING nice job

**Generalstoner**

A friend of mine jokes and call them Citrus Tau. Lord knows, I'll never paint another thing orange ever again in my life!

**Shrubs**

Great work, nice highlighting! Blue and orange Tau are the best

Here's one of mine:

**Zydragon**

Blinded XD Nice army tho
