OCdt Mephiston's Tau

[OCdt Mephiston]

Even with the new Blood Angels Codex just around the corner, red can sometimes get on a painters nerves. So in an attempt to switch things up and get out of the menotony that is Blood Red, I decided to paint up a test model for a long time dream project of mine; city fighting Tau.

There are two armies in the 40k universe that I believe can pull of the camouflage/attempting to not be seen look, IG and Tau. Since IG has been done to death recently, and I kinda like the idea of a booming upstart race, I decided to go for Tau. So here he is, my lone Fire Warrior test subject! C&C is welcome, but be nice, this is the first time I've posted pics of my work on the internet ;)

I like it. I have a friend who uses a very similar scheme for his stealth suits. Good 'night fight' colors.

very nice indeed

It looks nice but dark. If you go for a lighter but still washed-out brown, I think you'd be able to see more detail in the model while still fitting into the stealth/city fight look.

Thanks for the feedback guys!

@ Lerra - I know what you mean with the dark colors... I think models to come wont get quite as much devlan mud ink on them.

Also Ive been working on a Devilfish/Hammerhead, it should be up soon depending on how busy this week is...
