The classic Tau Devilfish APC from the displayt cabinets at Warhammer World.
Always quite liked the Tau concept, but was never sure how well it fitted into the Warhammer 40,000 mythos. They seemed a little too high tech for the universe background.
Anyhow the Devilfish is a nice looking model and this is how it looked when the Tau were first released all those years ago.
This Orkified Tau Piranha was an entry in the Golden Demon awards at GamesDay 2008.

This Tau Devilfish APC was entered into the GamesDay 2006 Golden Demon awards.
Back in 2001 at the UK GamesDay, flavour of the month was Tau. Many of the demonstration games used Tau. In this game Imperial Guard defend their city from Tau attack.

The Tau Barracuda is used to patrol Tau airspace and support the Fire Cast in times of war. The Barracuda is capable of using groung based markerlight equipped teams to guide its supply of seeker missiles stored in its drop down bay.When the pilot is in trouble the cockpit of the Barracuda can be ejected from the main fuselage, and use its limited anti grav engine to propel the pilot to friendly lines.

At GamesDay 2006 there were a fair few demonstration games.
In one there was this Tau Orca.
I am not a fan of this paint job, what do you think? Does it fit in with the Manga style behind the Tau or is it too garish?
