Hello Dakka!
Names Blick. I got into the hobby this past February. Ive got around 2250pts for Tau and most likely the same amount for SM (which happens to be my GF's army). My current record is 1-4-1.
With my Tau Im goin for a burnished/bronzey gold armor and a blue under armor. Think of Michigan/Wolverine color scheme. My GF decided to go down the standard Ultramarine route.
Well, have any questions feel free to ask!

Welcome to Dakka! Not bad for your first Tau model painted. Will we be seeing more pictures of your armies?

Well cool, welcome aboard.
If you want to take one idea from me it would be to magnetize. $10 or so will get you 300+ magnets on ebay.
Every squad has options, and rather then "pretending" to have the option or building "extra" models to switch out for games, you would be better off just magnetizing the option and swopping them when you use that option.
Also you can preserve paint jobs and do away with the foam if you magnetize the bases and get cases with steel paper lining the bottom.
Have a good one
Adrian

Nice start with the Army painting.
Lots of great help/advice/inspiration here in that department.
I look forward to seeing more of your work.
