Hey all. I made a quick scratch built Defense line for my Tau. Looking for feedback on what else to do with it. I probably need some weathering at least. Might do some battle damage (bullet holes, etc). I plan on using this for my Adepticon display board as well so I added a few Forge World pieces for flavor.

Used some Balsa wood for the walls and floors.



I sized them up based on the actual pieces to the best of my ability.



"Counts as" quad gun. I used a Dixie cup and two Ion cannons. Magnetized for ease of travel.



Some Firewarriors and Forge World models added to complete the scene.



Feedback appreciated!

Very good looking. Like the look. Nice color scheme on the models as well. Keep up the good work

I like it........ looks Tau to me nice colour choice to.

Very neat idea.

I would of liked to see missile pods instead of Ion cannons for the quad.

Nice, very simple and tau-like, i like it.

Very cool indeed! You seem to have captured the Tau feel really well throughout, love it.

Really awesome! I like the quad gun a lot, the cup a really good idea.

I like it, and I've not really been a fan of Tau. I'd like to try a game agaisnt this.

okay now thats pretty damn cool

Looks great, but I think a bit of weathering would just finish it off, IMO.

Great job. Tau simplicity with clean lines. I wish more races would this. I'm tired of fighting on Imperial worlds. Keep it up.

I've got some nice foam and a skyray turret I am using as a count-as aegis line. works quite nice. No pics though sorry. Don't have a camera.

Damn it....I might as well do this as well so I can get that Aegis Defense Line I need for my tau!

Looks pretty sweet. I wonder if you could achieve the same result with a piece of trim? I kind of thought the smooth lines some trim has would look good with the whole Tau vision. Good work.
