Here is first step of my Tau Army, The Genyosha (for those who know about Battletech universe, you know what Im talking about). I have a devilfish, an XV88, 3 XV8 and lots of firewarriors and drones. I started with the devilfish, and my idea was that my Tau's homeworld is something like Waterworld. Lots of islands, atolons, coral reefs and no mayor continents, but the poles, completly frozen.
Therefore, I decided to go with blues and light blues. The mayor design is "The Great Wave of Kanagawa" by Japanese painter Hokusai, which inspired me and made me start the Tau army.

Here are some pics, and whope youlike it, its not finished yet!

*gasp*...thats incredible! Sir you are skilled indeed with the paintbrush!

and remember, fully painted models always do better against unpainted models......its the rule :D. seen it happen a dozen times......its why I lose so much :( (but not for long!).

Well, thanks vedal, I have almost finished it, and then will move on some crisis battlesuits that Isoroku gracefully gave me.

Well, thats because im an obsesive compulsive painter... and im a lady, not a sir^^ :D

Looks great... may be slightly more and more difficult as you move onto saller and smaller models.
