So, I'm back to 40k after 8 years for some modelling and painting. I have an old set of Tau kicking about which I'm gonna strip and paint again, hopefully to a beautiful level. I'm looking to go down the Jungle Tau route, muddy green armour and tan cloth - similar to the IG.

I'm trying to find the colour used on these beautiful guys armour plating (ignoring the beautiful camo...), Ref: Gordy2000

I'm thinking Loren Forest (Citadel)??? And does anyone know of a primer close to this?
Please someone put their two cents in because this is driving me nuts!

PM the owner of the image and ask him (Gordy2000). He appears to still be active on Dakka and his last post was a week or so ago.

Here this tool is about the best thing out there for paint matching.
