Looks pretty good!

Did you/are you going to magnetize weapons or something?

Nice colour scheme, and sharp highlights.

Are you going to use any transfers?  I always find a bit of Tau script or a Sept marking finishes my Tau models off nicely.

I too like the sharp highlights, and the colour scheme. The metal parts look a bit underdone so far but otherwise it is a cool looking model. :)

yep tomorrow mornings agenda will consist of golding the screws and then blending doing the plasmas (i was going to magnetize but timing is an issue as im also building a custom Tau Aegis) and doing the scenic base using my new basius basing pads i kickstarted will try to get more pics up tomorrow. Ok a bit delayed but this pretty much done just needs two plasma.

Looking good.  I like the coloured tiles - they add a bit of interest to the large base area.
