I'm still on the fence with getting some tau started up, some days I like them a lot, some days I decide its not for me but keep coming back to the idea

Show off your tau! Sick of seeing the same old sandy yellow tau on Google image searches!

Go to the Galleries and search for tau and filter best to worst painjob.

I took a long hiatus when painting my tau, thats why theres such a drastic difference between the Riptide (first tau i painted) and the Ethereal (most recent outside cannonfodder firewarriors, which i dont paint with any degree of detail as it takes too long doing that to 50 tiny models i remove in droves). Im currently working on my Buffmander model, and in term trying my hand at highlights and edging since i almost never do it. Got the basics of him done, though aside from his armor nothing is edged or has any effects yet. Need to give his shield a heavy glowing effect and put some hazard lines on his flamer....and of course the white after i wash his armor.
Not a fan of in-progress pics unless its a kitbash, so i dont have any of my buffy.

Purple tau? Cool, not sure I've seen them purple before

Desert camo style

Cool camo. Most people you see attempting camo simply slap random shades of a color onto a base color. Yours is actually done smoothly and cleanly and seems to have a real pattern to it, which is what camo REALLY is (exmilitary i used to be around it all the freakin time so i kinda notice that stuff)

Also my tau are Purple because nobody does it lol, and it looks good anyway.
