After seeing the new pictures from the upcoming codex it inspired me so start a tau Army. I immediately went to work getting my hands on what tau I could. A good friend of mine sold me his tau and I got to work.

This Devilfish was pre built and already primed black.

C&C is welcome.

**Grotzar**

Sweet, looks ready to fight for the greater good.

**Element206**

Nice looking model. The way the vents are painted really gives the piece a nice dynamic. Good work

**Desubot**

Its nice a clean

could use some hard edge highlighting to make it pop.

nice engine glow.

**Samurai_Eduh**

Love the engine glow! As others have said, edge highlighting will really take this up to the next level.

Greater Good: Join or Die!

**bluntz_the_ork**

Love the color scheme. Nice work.

**Micah da ork**

A lovely model! I like the unique color scheme.

Really like the the subtleness of the colors and a nice clean paint job. The engine intakes and vents are nicely done and the interior parts give it a sweet look. Hope to see more soon.

I like the engines and vents but I dunno, might be because its a huge model but the large areas look a bit bland? Sounds harsh but just callin' it like I'm thinking

Bar that nice work

Pretty annoying choice of colors. The engine is pretty intresting though.

**Trondheim**

Horrid choice of collours, but the engine is neat though

Just out of curiosity how is it annoying?

Yeah, the one reason why I didn't put decals on it is because I don't have any. I'll work on getting some to spice it up a bit.

And everyone thank you, I hope to be getting more painted this week before the upcoming codex.

I'll do my best to post as I complete them.

Very nice neat paint job, just the colors are kinda muted, I might suggest a bit more of the purple on various panel areas to offset the main greyish colors, like the tops of the drones, or even a 2 tone angular camo pattern on the main hull area, with perhaps a darker grey and a lighter purple.

Just suggestions of course, otherwise keep up the fine work young Shas'la, and welcome to the fight.

**daemonhunter187**

You know I love it. I can't wait to see the rest of the army.

**warhamster77**

your drones are backwards

**7yler**

I think that looks great, and the colors are just fine.

Clean paint job.

My only offer would be to darken the panel lines a bit more, that will help to make the colors pop.
