I don't have a whole lot of Tau. Basically two battle-forces, a hammer head, and a broadside. I use the two suits as my commanders, or sometimes only one of them and another is a deep striking suicide suit with two of their fusion thingy/meltaguns and a targeting array.

Good looking tau! Pics are not the greatest (lighting) but I can tell your lines and whites are pretty nice. Based even, way to go. Tau is a fun army to play, tough to pull a win with. Oh, and the board you are playing on looks pretty cool as well.

Nicely done. Any tips for pulling off a good white paint job?

Nice looking army there. I always loved white Tau ^^ just like little stormtroopers XD

well done m8

Good looking army... I like your battlesuits. are the weapons magnetized?

Also, where is your HQ?

Heh.. I used white spray paint from Wal Mart. Then washed it with badab black. Then I took a white paint marker thing and touched it up. There are some small parts that the marker was too big to get to, but normally that was a part that should be shaded anyways. The paint marker only required one coat and covered everything easily. It drys real fast too.

Yep, magnets. I use the two suits as my HQs usually, since I haven't bothered to buy a proper HQ yet.

Stormtroopers

Now I've got that out the way, I think your suits look great, lots of clean lines and contrast really make them pop.

I would say, however, that your kroot could do with an extra wash for some depth, and perhaps some colour on the hair (if you want). They look a little washed out compared to those stark lines on the other models.

Thats a nice looking white you have going, appears to be very crisp. I really like the stealth suits.

Question. How big is your battle board?

6' by 4'. I have some pics of it somewhere. Some before the paint and stuff was on it. I will see if I can find them and post it as well.

Link to the pics of Game board.

It is getting a little worn. Some of the stuff is coming off and there are Mainecoon/Furry Squiggoth tracks clawed into some of the roads as can be seen in the pic below. Bottom right hand corner.

Very nice looking Tau - bonus props for choosing white as one of your main colors ;-).

Cheers,
