I recently started a tau army as well, I decided to use the old eldar inf as fire warriors and pathfinders.� The helmet on the old troops slopes back� instead of going straight up like the new version of eldar inf.� I add length to the barrel of the gun and it looks good.� Still not sure what to do about broadsides though...not much out there.� Just food for thought though as the old stuff seems to be cheap to get.

I have nothing to add to Kelvin's post as far as his Infantry choices,
but I must say that (IMO) the best Vehicle proxies for Tau
are the CinC (useta be FASA's)
Renegade Legion/Centurion line:

(and less so, but y'know: for completeness sakes: the space line:
http://www.pfc- cinc.com/ rl_spacefighters .html )
They are inexpensive, they look "hammer-heady" (enough anyway)
and you can still fine the light APC plastic sets on eBay -very- inexpensively.

Forgeworld Tanks and Fliers with DRM infantry. The problem lies in the fact that the Tau
tanks look fairly unique with their hammerhead design. But here is a pretty
comprehensive list of decent Tau proxies:
