Hey all, long time lurker first time posting. Here's just a quick selection of previous armies/minis. I will be starting my tau army soon and that's what this blog will transformarise into

Iron Snakes (true scale)

That blue to white gradient work on the Tau is fantastic Olly!

You normally see that kind of thing on large kits, but the fine scale work done on the Firewarrior armor plates really makes them stand out.

Quite well done, I must say! I went straight to the pictures before reading the text and I thought, huh, those must be Iron Snakes colours, and they were indeed. That's how you know you've done an obscure scheme right, if you look at it and can say, must be, in this case, Iron Snakes and it is, you've done well.

Gorgeous job all round.

Most of the time I dislike the look of airbrushed models (i.e in the way that you have done it) but you're the exception, great looking Tau :)

Nicely painted Iron Snakes too :)

These are gorgeous. Great scheme, well executed (I like yer space marines, too).

Special mention for the bases - wow! Fantastic to see some lush, verdant worlds in the Grim Darkness of the Far Future, those are aces.
