The brown doesn't work for me...doesn't quite gel with the green and grey you have used. For me, a lighter, sandy colour, our a darker woody color would have clicked more.

Having said that, the execution is lovely, and it's certainly a striking scheme. I really like the muted tones on the Tau vehicles. Nice work.

Oh... hahaha

I didn't do that on purpose, I just wanted a spotcolour for the lenses. I'm not that patriot orientated.

It's for a Belgian client though, maybe he is

That's one thing I like about Tau. They can pull off the bright, clean look but the muted, darker, dirtier tones work just as well. Great job!

Looking good, dude! The only thing is I think you should drill out the barrels on the Stealth Suits.

REALLY digging that scheme man. Alot of talent going into that. I'm sure whoever they are for are going to be VERY happy with it.

Trying out a new camera-toy... Seems like it puts more saturation in it than my nikon D700 (although these were shot as JPEG rather than RAW...)

Anyway! Models!

The army looks amazing! Do you still happen to have the SMS for the hammerheads and Skyray as they are ten times better than the burst cannons?

It really came together well! You did a fine job! Hopefully the client re-commissions you to do some of the newer models like the Riptide or one of the new Broadsides.

Yes, I'm doing the extra smart missile systems.

The client was very happy with the commision and has ordered a riptide, a bomber, a new commander, 6 battlesuits and farsight to add to this wave.

Possibly a tigershark or something (FW flyer) as well, but that was a bit up in the air still...

I love the earthy and military colour scheme you did here. This is the first time I feel like I am looking at a "real" Tau fighting force and not some crazy fantasy army.

For some reason i'd like the drones to blend in a little more with the camo style. The painting looks great though.
