Alright so I went with the red/turquoise color scheme. Here is my first one, not completely finished yet, but you will get the idea.

**krusty**

i like how the shoulder symbol has a blue metallic nmm look going on...

MOAR PICS PLOX

**LunaHound**

Is it hawk turquoise?
and what colors for the blues?

Yes it looks great ^^v

**Munch Munch!**

Oh, wow! I love it!

**Shinoden**

Honestly, I can't wait for them all to be done... I have alot more I am going to do to this model yet.

@LunaHound: Yes thats hawk turquoise, as for the blues I started with a dark blue (cant remember the name) then ultramarine blue, then slowly thinned out to white.

@Krusty: I will post more pics, when I get him done and based for ya.

**Ronin**

Wow, I love the colour scheme. Loving the red especially, what colour/recipe did you use?

Cant wait to see more

**J.Black**

Loving the colour scheme. Nice clean painting too

**thesilverback**

Interesting color combo, just not a big fan of the red. Think it may be a little overpowering in a unit. But nice paint job, nice clean lines which is what makes the Tau.

**KingCracker**

Its pretty different from a normal Tau color scheme. And it looks good man. How long did it take you to paint that guy?

**RiTides**

Wow that shoulder pad is sweet! Are you going to put that level of attention to detail into every fire warrior

?

**UCPesmerga**

Wow, love the color scheme, like many other here. Looking forward to seeing how it translates to larger models.

**daemon**

**Munda-monium**

**Shinoden**

Alright Ladies and Gentleman, my first warrior completed. Just so you all see... I will have him on a base tonight... Just finishing the base as we speak... Just couldn't wait to show you the detail work. So enjoy!

**Avrik_Shasla**

You my friend have much patience. Now if only you can paint another 71 like that one.

**Shinoden**

**Munch Munch!**

Nice work!

**Shinoden**

I will get the squad done shortly, and my VX88 battlesuit for you guys.

**SkeTcHy LaRRy**

Looking forward to the finished project. Outstanding highlight work.

For those of you who were asking, its scab red and hawk turquoise as the base.

**Shinoden**

Alright 3 more brothers join the squad... Almost done. Just need to highlight them and do the leggings.
