Okay so my first army was tau and i never really was good playing with them so i switched to orks. I also didnt like my paint scheme that I had chosen. I decided to repaint my tau and I am happy with their color scheme this time. for the bases i did the games workshop basing "cities of death" scheme. The tau are painted sa'cea in the codex but i improvised a little different on the tanks. basically its an urban themed army. I'm really enjoying painting these dudes and I want to do some more so I will update when I have anything interesting to do.

Love the scheme on your tank, that'll look really striking over a whole force.

Urban camo is the way to go with Tau. Looks great so far.

thanks for the positive comments . I plan on doing some conversion work on battlesuits. they just look to static in their poses. im going to make them look like theyre putting those jet packs to use and firing those weapons like they are BS5 AT LEAST. They will be jumping forth from city terrain. I hope to represent the tau proud

Lost in Australia, somewhere.

Loving that Devilfish, the camo is so neat. Also keen to see what you can do with those Battlesuits.

@Enigma Crisis- thanks for the links they helped a lot

Here is a crisis suit a stripped the paint off and reposed today. I made him a helios because i play a lot of marine players. Not sure if it will be the most useful config though... but anyways i can proxy him however i want, no big deal.

That is an awesome pose tkrettler91. It's almost like he is actavating his jet pack for his JSJ move. The Helios is a good loadout for the Crisis Suits. I usually run Fire-knives but lately I've been experimenting on different load-outs trying different things.

Heres the second battlesuit that will be in the squad. i think im going to do matching pairs for each configuration i do then when i accumulate enough suits i will add another one to each squad to do trios. this one got primed cause it didnt need putty
