Very nice and neat. I'm not a fan of the beige Tau scheme but you have done a really nice job. Neater than my own unfortunately :)
There's so much lining of Tau models I rarely have the patience to neaten everything up!
The white/grey aerial is a nice touch. I usually find the inclusion of a completely different colour really makes a 2 colour paint scheme 'pop' and a model stand out more.
Most of my models here have a touch of white on them for variety.
I do really like the white that you have on your models! I always struggle with getting an even white layer - you did a neat job! Is it airbrush or just ordinary brushes? =)
Usually black undercoat, 2-3 thin grey layers, lighter each time (I used adeptus battlegrey, codex grey and then fortress grey, and then 3-4 thin layers of white. Takes a while but looks nice.
I even used the same technique on my Crimson fist commander helmets to make them stand out.
Aye I was on a sort of berak - needed to do lots of stuff in a short period of time and then hobbying was forgotten for a while :O But hope that I can go back to more constant updates now ^^

Of course there's the new GW white base paint but I haven't tried that yet..
DeleteHaven't seen you post in a while. Hope everything's ok. Guess we all need a break some time.
