Sure.

You an explorer, a hero, six Defender, and eight Orcas.

A decent small fleet, but you have five too many Orcas for the number of Grav Hooks you have (3 on the explorer)

Both Specialist Games and Forge World released a set of models for a Tau fleet, which looked quite different to each other.

Those are the ugly SG ones. The FW ones are a lot nicer and sleeker looking models.

Got to admit that I was always a fan of the GW Tau fleet. The FW was nice, sure, but it was almost too similar to the Epic Tau designs, and the GW fleet gave a real sense of scale to the minis.

Yup the biggest one is the Explorer - think weakly armed and armoured Carrier ship. Three of the littlest ships "hook" onto it for warp jumps.

I have always quite like the SG Tau, it is what I have in my Tau fleet (and demiurg)

That's cool really like that idea, i prefer the look of them, I think the manta shaped ones look a little samey.
