I just wanted to share an article on my The Corvus Cluster blog about a new Tau tower I've built. It's 29" high, and it's not too shabby. Hope you'll take a look.

Tau-er.

Very nice indeed.
Though from that one photo, I wouldn't have immediately thought 'Tau'. Not sure why.

Edit: It's the lack of panels and indented outlines. It just makes me think toilet repair.

I think it would definitely benefit from an antenna on top, look at Tau stuff and almost everything has a least one.

Could be worth also adding in some tau symbols of glyphs somewhere to give it that strong tau feel

Great job on it though, I do like scratch built terrain.

It's nice. But it's more of a grainery silo than something Tau related at the moment.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll give some thought to how I can give it a stronger Tau aesthetic.--TheGM

I like it a lot.
like some of the guys have said I think the quickest and probably easiest way to make it a little more tau would be to simply add some antennae. maybe some arms coming off the side holding some and some on top of the tower.

It needs more panel lines and possibly the door swap. the iris isnt doing much for the tau aesthetics.
