So a couple of months back I went to a tournament and was awarded "highest bar tab" so due to my victory I was awarded a bottle of whiskey and a tau ghostkeel. For one brief moment I contemplating starting a whole new army. But then my inner haemonculus decided to take over. And this is the creation I came up with. I will post a pic when he is finished. c&c welcome. Thanks and cheers

I like it. The aesthetics of the old angular Reaver jetbike bit really pulled it together. Although I am not sure about the placement. Maybe cut that piece into 3 blades and spread them over the body, 1 where it is now, and maybe the other 2 on the legs or arms.
You need to make sure to paint any skin blue.

There is a great piece of fluff in the 6th ed DE codex about DE and Tau having a "cultural exchange" to give the Tau aid against the Tyranids.
Each time they aided the Tau, the DE would demand a higher tribute of Warriors. The Tau did not know or want to ask what was becoming of these "tributes" but they did notice many of the later constructs had an all too familiar blue hue to their skin.

You can easily make this part of your fluff for this model

Now that's sweet!

I second the idea of giving it bluish skin you could even paint it so it's like dozens and dozens of little Tau-sized patches of blue skin sown together...
