is that Zoey Daschnell overlooking your troops?
Is she pleased?

Wow. Really nice. I LOVE the paint scheme. It's so clean and so Tau. I can't believe you painted all those new models so fast.

I went back and lol'ed.

Great work, though! You have huge fields of white here, and none of it looks chunky, streaky, or washed out, which is a feat of great skill on your part! Excellent work.

I didn't paint them gents. A friend did. Obviously i paid him lol

They are really nice in my opinion. I am packing for a move and therefore its really messy lol

Also failure to launch was on tv lol

That is a very nice looking army.

I especially like the flyers and riptides.

Where does this friend of yours live? Does he take commissions often? What are his prices like?

I can ask him.....Although it certainly isnt his "profession". His prices are excellent.

Leave it with me and I will catch up with him soon and get back to you....

Very nice and clean work there.

They look great! I love the camo and the white is magnificent! Your mate must start taking commissions, I'd employ him

Your friend is a good painter
Nice poses on the riptides too!

Great stuff!

That's nice work

May I first say GREAT work...get it? Great work? For the greater good? Haha. But no I honestly like the paint scheme and what you're doing with the army, something very clean. However I do have some tips and this is what I noticed after looking over your army.

There comes a point in your painting career that you realize that you're good enough to paint your models however when it comes to bases it needs to be turned up a notch. I noticed on your flyers and your Riptides how remarkably bare the bases were. Go ahead and do yourself a favor, pick up tall grass packs at The army painter store,

I'd suggest using the Highland tuft. You use that stuff and you'll really notice something on your bases that makes everything look so much better. Also, take it a step further and get yourself some stone as well.

Has concrete rubble mix, using those both together are great. When using the rubble I suggest wiping the powered rock off of them and painting them a darker color whether it be gray or tan for the desert theme.

I hope I helped :3 and again, GREAT JOB.

Thanks, will bear it in mind :-)
