Hey guys! Does anyone have any cool ideas for Tau bases?

I really like to do unique bases for my models, for my necrons I made concrete with power crystals bursting through, for my nurgle i did plague swamp bases, but I cant think of a good idea for Tau bases.

My color scheme for them will be similar to this one - http://taleofpainters.blogspot.ca/2016/08/showcase-tau-sept-sacea-by.html

I'm also open to buying bases, im from NA

I appreciate any ideas/pics/links!

What kind of fluff they have? Are they professional urban fighters or do they come from desert world? Any notorious campaings they took part of? Some race they consider being their nemesis?

If you have leftover necron bits use them. Make them buried slight into sand/ground, or make them look like they've been blast to bits.

Very cool, I did a similar scheme and based with desert and dry grass.

I think that shade of blue would work well with a beach landing themed army. So sand, water and some extra things for colour and personality-sea stars, few black rocks, algae, crabs etc.
