Overall, I liked the way the list played, in particular the structure of the list. Though any ideas on how to deal with marines with my Tau would be much appreciated!

Glad you enjoyed the list Gary, would be great if you could post these kinds of comments in the Tau development section.

Looking forward to your next outing with the list... and for *my* Tau to arrive for Christmas!  *laugh*

There is an extra & in the links. If you hit the coppermine logo it takes you to the home page and you can select the gallery from there. Not sure how this changed as it was working.

Poor Gary and the Tau!  :sad:

Thanks for the report guys. It was a good read!

p.s. That's an unusual color scheme for your Marines Mephiston. Do you have a Plog?

No Plog but what I did was....

1. Spray everything with The Army Painter Desert Yellow primer.
2. Paint right half ice blue.
3. Wash everything using delvan mud.
4. Paint metal black. Some of this was then dry brushed boltgun. I decided to leave all the troopers weapons flat  black.
5. As this is the 4th company of a codex chapter (Sigma Marines) the shoulder pad edge painted goblin green.
6. Using a .25 technical drawing pen add chapter symbol and squad symbol (This isn't that good on some of the minis but I kept on going!)
7. Base using GW sand.

I think I'll add in some patches of grass as the sand base doesn't really do it for me. I also need to give them a blast of matt varnish.

I'm all for quick as possible paint jobs these days. I'm not going to win any painting comps but they look good enough for tournament play.

Yes they do look "good enough". They beat my army that will never be finished any day of the week.

If you ever decide to do a plog I'm sure lots of people would be interested including yours truly!
