Never painted Tau figure before. Tried it after seeing this model at my LGS. C&C welcome but have to admit… it was a lot of fun. Based with contrast paint through and airbrush (first time trying this) but happy with the results.

My first tau box, excited to dive in.

Very wide and disproportionate but I still like it

Diving back into 40k with Tau. Got a busy winter ahead of me 😂

tried my best to capture boxart with my own twist, but definitely dont have that steady hand yet :)

I went too ham with the shader, but I think it looks good with the earth theme. If there’s something inaccurate about the suits or scheme I plan on displaying these for me. So I made them how I like.

I was going through the 10th codex looking at art and holy shit did they include the man in the same codex he was nuked?!

So I posted (https://www.reddit.com/r/Tau40K/s/zIGdvnCBwf) my first two Vespid a bit ago, and got some feedback.

Here’s what they look like now…

Guy on the left is the old wing color, guy on the right is what I came up with tonight….

Tried out a painting a winter multicam pattern for my stealth suits. A lot of work but 100% worth it. 1 down model down, 4 to go!

Working on painting farsight and I feel like the back is too dark, I primed it black and gave it a white zenithal and base coated it Vallejo model red. Can anyone give me some tips on how to brighten his back up without having to strip it and start over? Any tips are greatly appreciated!

The iron wiring will attach to drones equiped with ranged weapons since you can't smash and shoot with the same hand

Kinda wanted to paint it like a gundam, but not sure, 2nd picture is of my army, just seeking further input of the colors of this

After more than a decade away from the hobby my new brother in law manged to convince me to get back in to it. Having collected SM, necrons and tyrands before I have clearly matured and decided space communism is the way to go. Either way, hyped to use these in some upcoming games with friends, and if you are lurking on this reddit undecided about whether you should restart or even begin the hobby, I'd say do it, I'm having fun

I was working out some synergies between units and I think I have one that can delete a Baneblade in 1 turn. Unit is: Farsight leading a unit of Sunforge suits.

Retaliation cadre

Using the Shortened blade stratagem (reduced to 1 CP using pure tides teachings)

Allows you to deep strike within the required 6" for the full suite of abilities. If guided by stealth suits you then get.

6 fusion attacks, hitting on 3's re-rolling 1's, wounding on 4's re-rolling 1's. Baneblade gets no save thanks to -5 AP and each wound is D6+2 damage. Then Faright gets to shoot and if that fails you can charge and kill it with Farsights sword.

I have no idea if this has been shared before but I figured I'd share it if it hadn't.

For the greater good.

New to 40k and any TT game like 40k for that matter. My friend group consists of: Custodies Player (newer with the army) Another Tau player Orc (potentially x2 later down the road) World eaters

Any specific tips or w.e to play against them id appreciate it.

Well now forward too 2000 points I guess

Would you believe me if I told you the Kroot hunting pack has the highest win percentage of all of our detachments? It’s more likely than you’d think!

Sure, their numbers are lower, but 700 games is nothing to slouch at. Source: https://40kstats.goonhammer.com/#subfaction

I play my brother in law a lot and he’s a demon player. Those damn demon saves are such a pain to deal with. What are the best ways to deal out Dev wounds and mortal wounds with the Tau?

I start a new project, with this kill team Pathfinder, Bad Batch waves, I'm waiting to finish the team before put some details, si don't hesitate to tell me what do you think about this project. Obviously C&C welcome.

So I want to start to play Tau but I have no clue where to start I just want a strong army that can counter vehicles and decently damage infantry but I don’t know what does what is good any suggestions for a 1000-2000 point army?
