What paint did you use for the burgundy-ish colour that contrasts so nicely with the black? I've actually just come up with a black colour scheme for my IG regiment, & I'm looking for a contrasting colour. Tried some things (mostly reds), didn't really like them, although that looks very pretty. Is it a citadel colour?

it's red gore actually^^

just thin it with considerable ammount of whater and paint two thin layers of it on the black primer (the new glossy primer of gw should be washed with another layer of extremely thinned chaos black before you paint in it though...)

however if you still have to buy the paint, I highly reccommend to change to vallejo colors...
they are just better in every possible way. XD

How so? Do tell, i have no experience with them.

Well, for one they are cheaper,
they come in a bottle with a cannula, so that you can easily use single drops of paint + they can't spill + they nearly can't desiccate.
Besides those points they have a much wider variety of colors, which is also nice.

Great looking force! Love the colour scheme. I've been meaning to do my Tau for a while now, you may well of just given me the push I need!

Cheers!
