Hey guys I need to find the colors to paint the Tau Stealth Teams. I want to make that color universal as my Tau army scheme. I looked on the box and it says scab red but it needs something else. I was thinking gore red? I am not really sure so I need your help.

**SagesStone**

It kind of looks like scab red with a mix of scab red and white highlight. Gore red a bit brighter and has a fair bit less of a maroon tint to it than scab red. Depends on what you're after really, if going with that scheme for your Tau army perhaps something like dwarf bronze as a spot colour for some of the smaller details.

**Lord of Baal**

I compared the image and GW online color and I think gore red but badab black washed to make the color. what do you think?

**SagesStone**

It would have a more red tint to it, but still stay dark and sort of muted which seems to be the point of the scheme. Sort of like a dark Blood Angels scheme. If you wash it enough (maybe twice) you could probably get away with using red gore for the highlights as well.

I believe I have the white dwarf for this, the base colors are scab red for the red armor, and scorched brown for the brown armor

**Lord of Baal**

Wheres the brown???

**Coolyo294**

The legs.

**Lord of Baal**

oh ok. What brushes should I use?

**Aerethan**

The tank brush should be fine...

**Lord of Baal**

No durr

**Aerethan**

bad questions beget bad answers.

**nectarprime**

What kind of brush? The bristled kind.

**Lord of Baal**

What about a wash brush to get the cracks.

**Coolyo294**

If you're using a wash, sure.

The bolded part is sage advice. Especially when you are asking for help.

**Lord of Baal**

I don't know why I said durr, I was just bored

**Nimbosa**

My favorite overall brush is a winsor and newton series 7 no. 0, can do small areas and really fine details.
