Im thinking of making some terrain for tau, but my understanding of tau buildings specially in a battlefield is more of a quickly and cheaply assembled. My immediate thought was some sort of shielding, but was wanting everyones opinion of tau and shielding, it doesnt sound very Tau ish, but quick and cheap i think like a shield. For example i want to make a tau aegis defense line (ive seen one someone made with the clear bases and made a shield wall) which ill make something similar to it with shielding, and i want to make a landing pad, my thought was some 5 techy looking posts that ill have a clear circular "force shield" which allows things to stand and move around on same with some sort of ladder or stairs on the back end of it. So like i said before, id like your thoughts on if this sounds tau ish and if not or if any suggestions on making it better.

thanks

That will give you a good idea of where to start.



This is a very good Tau Landing pad. Very nice.



Less nice, but simpler. It would be suited for handling smaller craft.

The trick would be mastering the Tau icons - their funny circles and so forth. Those will make almost anything that's white and sleek look tau-ish.

along with all of those awesome buildings above, look to the first Dawn Of War for some Tau buildings.

Micro Art Studio has some modern SciFi buildings for games like Infinity.
A new line called TauCeti is quite fitting for Tau:


Concerning defense walls, several companies do Xenos versions (all available soon), a.o.
