This was done as a test to a diorama project I have in mind for later on in the year. Primarily it was a way to work out colours for a martian/desert scheme, along with a suitable colour for the Tau itself. In the end, the best colour was remarkably close to the standard codex colours found all over the place, but if it does the job, then great! He's had his right arm completely resculpted - albeit rather too muscular in retrospect - and his gun arm is now his left (which meant having to sculpt on a new hand...sigh, I really hate sculpting!). I also thought it'd be fun to give him some sort of bionic eye. Whether any of this is particularly 'Tau-esque' I know not, but I've enjoyed painting him up and as a mean to an end he's done the job okay for me!

Love the armour colors, very dusty, and weathered. I had no idea the tau had a 24 hour fitness on their homeworld, he is buff! Just playin, nice work!

I like the blocking on the shoulderpad. The bare arm looks a little odd though, the hand and fingers seem a little weird.
