Voted. Loving it!

Now THAT is a battlesuit!

I love seeing Tau with a darker theme to them, both in colour and nature. Awesomely done

One thing I might pick up on though is the Inquisition symbol in the sword, I don't know how easy it would be to fill that in though.

I thought a bit about that when I was modeling the suit. I felt it was abstracted enough thanks to the line extending from either end of the =I= symbol that it could blend into the rest of the aesthetic. I did fill in all the lettering and do some other alterations, but in the end I felt that it would be too hard to get the gap completely and smoothly filled in to where you would never notice it.

Yeah, I'd agree that it'd be too difficult. Awesome model though, love it!

Clu escapes and comes for revenge 40k style.

Why is the Grey Knight head blue? Also, some of the red lines overlap onto your black armour, you should probably go over the edges with a lick of black :3

I didn't even notice it was a Nemesis Greatsword until pointed out, so the abstraction is definitely working Great work.

The main adversaries of my tau army are the Ultramarines and of course orks, hence the blue helm. I wanted it to come across as a generic blue terminator helm more than a GK one, but I didn't quite succeed.

Now THAT, is an awesome model! Love the eye lens, and the color scheme in general! Fantastic work!

That. Is. Cool...

He looks seriously evil, almost like a Chaos/Necron hybrid. I'm very partial to any kind of orange glow effect and you've done a great job with that here. Brilliant stuff.
