Ben's Tau Overhaul!
Here I will be posting work on my new/old Tau army what I am repainting and working on! Feel free to post questions, comments, scathing criticism, etc.
This is the basic scheme of the new army. I grew a bit tired painting all my models in grimdark colours, so I'm brightening things up a little bit!
This is what they used to look like, and also is how my new/old Broadsides will look. Their options are Missiles/More Missiles/ALL THE MISSILES
My Sunshark Bomber. I've made a few small conversions, moved the TL missile pod into the nose and swapped out the weird spinny pulse bomb launcher thing for a big scary gun that happens to do the exact same thing. Also left out the weird booms on the side.

Love the colours, love the poses, love the conversions
What'd you use for the Commander's shield?

It's the particle accelerator doohickiemahbob from the Broadside kit grafted to a large clear flying base that I tinted orange.

I love the shield. I also rather enjoy how much your commander's head reminds me of Shockwave.

What'd you tint it with? A Wash or something?
I might try something like that for the bjillion Eldar bike bases I have

As always, looks like a million bucks Ben.
All you'd have to do is dilute an orange with water to do that, no?
No riptide yet? (I'm waiting for someone to combine a riptide and a hammerhead, and make a transformer)

Re: Ben's Tau Overhaul!
Is that the one that shows up and just markerlights everything?

Re: Ben's Tau Overhaul!
I think you're thinking a Tetra. The Barracuda doesn't have a markerlight. It does pack a rather ferocious armament though!

Nah, the Tetra just marker lights the heck out of one thing. I know that one of the Forge World Tau fliers has the option to forego it's shooting and simply apply d3 markerlights to everything within 12" of it.

Tom you are thinking of the fighter pilot abilities.
That is a nice piece of kit. Everyone loves flying battlecannons!

Re: Ben's Tau Overhaul!
Here is my WIP of two Commanders I'm working on at the moment.
First one is an all purpose commander, armed with Cyclic Ion Blaster and an "Onager Torch" which is a flamer and onager combo system. He can pretty much use any combo of equipment allowed without too much fuss. I will also be adding a few other parts to allow him to function as an XV84, giving him a network light and target lock.
The other one is my Shadowsun conversion model, because I could
