Nice work - the rich colours combined with the realistic weathering and near-pastels on the stowage give off a kind of cel-shaded vibe - reminiscent of the Borderlands/2 art style. it's the stark black lining and high-contrast panel lines that to it. The purple teddy bear also looks like something from Borderlands.
(apologies for the huge image) Automatically Appended Next Post: Also, check out this stuff. I've just ordered some through the internets after seeing this video - I know you said you wanted the Valkyries to be clean, but some of this around the vents and exhausts would look great. (skip to 8:20 if you want to see it in action).

Why thanks guys  these were fun to get done once I found my rhythm with how they look, the teddy was a favorite bit of mine I mean in the far future of the grim darkness even a lonely Guardsman needs to hug a teddy! I also think the additions like the bedrolls and tarps make them a bit more interesting too, some were a bit fiddly to paint but I hope i did them justice!
those SPACE CORRIDORS are certainly going in my shopping basket  I can get 4 sets of SPACE CORRIDORS with post for about $200 not bad I think! then i get to create a suitably greasy cold void faring ship of terror! 
Oh Azazelx what was the vid you wanted me to check out?
You know, looking at what i have and need to do, it is entirely possible I will have a full workable force built this year! which means I can do a fresh army every year at this rate! although I may get sidetracked and do a bunch of terrain like Dave does ...... which again is entirely possible 
Hmmmm graven, don't remind me! I have my Realm of Battle board to finish off too!  it's a similar scheme but needs to be touched up once I get my table for my table built

Dude you know it needs to be Tau :nods: either in a dark blue with light grey panelling or (better yet) dark grey with electric blue panelling, which will then give you the chance to play about with OSL too.
Do it. Dooooo iiiiiiiiit....

So now my option is a Tau force featuring Riptides with pink armour and fleshy mounds added while they wear loud shirts inspired by hawaii?

And don't forget to the fake fur.  Used sparingly of course. I kind of want to see a commander like this now, just one suit. Can't imagine him actually making a Tau army like this.
