I was musing today about how the non imperium / chaos players could make barricaides / bastions etc for planetstrike.
could you reference some Tau building pics that don't require owning a tau codex and i'll be as helpful as possible.

(I think a very helpful thread could be made on this subject, so starting with tau would be a good thing.)
If i remember right curved, smooth sections with various "electrical board" bits sticking out make tau buildings (ooh! hard!)
I was recently admiring (and trying to aquire) some drones, to flip upside down and use as industrial scenery as the underside looks very electrical board esque. You may have some of those spare.
The hardest thing about this is the lack of hard edges in their architecture.

I'm trying to think of the right shapes, pre-made. A pokemon ball (look at charity shops etc) or some key fobs (too small really, but if you crack it open the inside circuit board may be usefull. Possibly as side detail on a building)

Curved shapes the right size - they'd be plastic, moulded and manufactured for something. (I'd personally consider mutilating a soda bottle and making plaster moulds, but you asked for not too pro.)
Maybe buying speakers with an oval back and cutting them, pulling it apart, filling in the gap made with card strip / similar may get the desired effect. (fleabay/charity shop/fleamarket/bootsale for these)

ooh! shame it'd be hard to get hold of easter eggs.
hmm... i'll have to think about that (and pick up a tau codex and go to page 43 if I walk past one)
