I'm happy to finally be able to show off my army to all of you. I hope all of you like my work and that my army will inspire others just as many of yours have inspired me.
I'll start of with some of my troops and see what happens.


The last group with carbines I currently run as pathfinders.
Unfortionatly this will be all that I can post for right now.

I LOVE the guy who looks like he is vaulting over the concrete wall. Interesting theme/scheme and well painted to boot!

I don't think your photos are doing your models justice. Try playing with the lighting a bit, and possibly higher quality photos. I can tell you've put a lot of effort into your models, but that detail is too washed out to appreciate.
Looking forward to seeing more!

I agree with Mastiff. The photos look underexposed as a result of the camera taking a reading from the white paper. Try another set with the camera set to the snow setting.

Is the first one OK or should I try to redo all of them?

You should take better pictures of each, they look great now, I can't imagine with proper lighting.

I would love to see close ups of the Pathfinder with the scanner (Bottom Right Photo - Model all the way to the left). It looks like you did some great work on him!
Overall great stuff though, best Tau I have seen so far.

Thanks for all the complements every one. I'll try to get better pictures but unfortunately I don't have many good lighting options. Hopefully with summer on the way I'll be able to take pictures outside. Madmaverick76 I don't have a picture of that pathfinder right now but I'll see what I can do. Until then I will show off some of my Kroot for today.    This guy got me best of category in Advanced tau tacticas "when we were shas'la" painting contest. I quite proud of how he turned out.   Here he is with another of my kroot, they were both experiments on weather Nid body parts would work as trophy bone armour. I'm pleased to say that it does  . Any ways that's the small tidbit for the day. Comments and critique welcome.

Wow... your tau looked very nice, and i love the way they are based... but those kroot look absolutely amazing... I've often thought the kroot models were a little to simple for my tastes... primitive and not very flavorful... but seeing what you did with those kroot... i really get the story of the kroot race from just two models. Great job and keep up the good work.

Thanks I'm glad you see the brighter side of because of my work  .
Since I have a little time over my lunch break I thought I would post a few more pictures of my army.
  
This guy is my team leader for my stealth suits. I know it's not the best lighting and probably a little hard to judge the painting but he is complete. I went with an extreme dark pallite, I was hoping to pull of a spec. ops. look and think I've pulled it of quite well.

These two photos show off the full squad. If you look close enough you can see that 2 of them have green on part of their helmets these I marked in case I want to play them as fusion stealths (so others know who they are).

Is this the Tau army I played against at the "Hobbiest Event" at Newark last year? If so, it looks even better in person!

That (armorless) tau commander looks pretty mean  The base really adds allot of charisma to that model...
He shouldn't be messed around with
