An inversion of my normal color scheme for my tau. It serves to make the stealthsuits a lot darker.

Colors are scaly green highlighted with hawk turquoise highlight (scaly green is oop, but Vallejo has the same color), codex grey with fortress grey highlight, and scorched brown with beastial brown highlight.

Not a bad paint job at all. Really like the turquoise/dark blue panels offset against the grey.

Only thing i could say for improvement would be maybe highlight the unarmored material on the arms/elbows a little more just to bring them out from the recesses a little.

Very nicely highlighted and painted.. quite smooth indeed.

Looks nice...I like'em

the store that i buy my warhammer from still has lots of scaly green, i think ill get some now i know its oop and looks pretty nice.

I wish I had done that when Brazen Brass went oop

Nice color combo. Looks good.

Hey, those are my colors Well, at least the Hawk Turquoise / Fortress Grey parts

This looks really great! Very well executed Would love to see a whole squad of them!!

Very nice.

Same here, my guardians are codex/fortress and scaly green/hawk turquoise... looks nice!

Very nice, and smooth paint job. Nothing 'blingy' about him which is what you expect from stealth units ;-)

nice work man.
only thing a touch off i see is a few spots where he highlights seem to widen out a bit much, but i rather doubt its noticable in real life

Thanks everyone!

Kaej: It could probably use a 50/50 beastial brown/snakebite leather highlight, or at least a darker basecoat. I ended up leaving it as is to accent the other colors more though. I'm not sure if it worked or not.

RiTides: I've got basecoats on two other stealthsuits at the moment. I need to get 3 stealthsuits, 3 crisis suits, and some firewarriors at least basecoated by Saturday for an escalation league. I'll make sure to get some pics up once they're finished though.

Greenskin: Yeah, I might go back and try to narrow them at some point. After an hour of highlighting I start to lose patience.
