Here is a test model. What do you all think? Please don't comment on the quality of the paint job, it was just a quick slapdash to see how the colours went together.
Last week we were interviewed by Pat from the 11th Company Podcast. It can be heard here

| To be honest I wasn't very happy with the interview... |
Aren't Tau all super stealthy and shit? Camo it up?
ReplyDeleteI'm colour blind, those plates are red, not brown, correct? Assuming they are- I'm a big fan of high constrasting edge highlighting on plates like those, and with red, bringing it up to what.. an orange(pink, go pink..) ? I think as is, it looks like a nice scheme, I just think I wouldn't like the direction it heads when it gets to a more finished state. However... I don't really even see red very well, so take that with a grain of salt...
ReplyDeleteSean
It is in fact a red. It's the dark red triad from reaper (Red brick, deep red, blood red).
DeleteIm kind of liking the subtle edge highlighting on this guy... Something different from the super contrasting highlight of my Salamanders.

Deletelove it wash it with carrosburg crimson, reapply that red triad, then put wazzdakka red on the raised parts, then edge highlight with a very bright red like evil sunz scarlet and that would look freaking awesome. Are you keeping the other parts black? if so dry brush with necron compound then paint all the oopsy's up with abbadon black so you just see the highlights on what you want.
ReplyDeleteLooking super sexy all the way!
Tau are fucking op now. Enjoy them dude. Fabios cron airforce is going to be butthurt.
ReplyDeleteWe will all shed a single tear and play the worlds smallest violin for necron airforces...
ReplyDeleteI'm just reading the codex now. Was too busy building the Fireblad model and playing Chris with my Salamanders too really delve into it earlier today!
ReplyDeletegreat progress! I heard your interview on the 11th Co. and I really like your idea of 40kegger! I just picked up some tau last week and have been painting them. Check it out and let me know what you think.

Your Tau look pretty cool. I like the blue and the white.
ReplyDeleteI usually play Salamander space marines, so I'm kinda sick of bright colours. That's one of the reasons I'm going with the dark red/cream. My Tau are gonna be dark and dirty!
