The Tau... Oops time is up. I'll post later. Any ideas for black armored Tau?

**GamesEtc**

For a second I thought this was going to be a racist thread. =P

Anyways, just check google images for inspiration. I personally have always liked the design below, as they can be done with all sorts of bright colors. I often hear them referred to as Tron Tau.

Tron tau rock!!!

Having seen that, I might actually be able to stomach painting up a small tau force.

There is this battle suit I did for my friend some time ago:

Thank you everybody. I've decided to paint them black with red glowing edges and bits, and I'm using the citadel paint range. Don't forget, all suggestions are still welcome as I've got lots of tau (I got three riptides, fifty fire warriors, ten piranhas, twenty pathfinders, two hammerheads, a sky ray, a sun shark, commander shadowsun, commander farsight, Aun'va and honor guard, a sniper drone team, twenty kroot, three kroot shapers, a jrootox, five Vespid, three tetras, ten gun drones, a brand new box of another ten pathfinders and three drones, and an ethereal for $150 off of eBay.).

Yup, I got very lucky. You can get http://www.ebay.com/itm/Wahammer-40K-Necron-Army-/231321333284?pt=Games_US&hash=item35dbd36e24 for 160. That's also a great deal.
