I'm wanting to start a small force of tau, and have noticed that the helmets for the tau shas'ui (fire warrior squad leader) are different on many different places, take dark crusade for example. The shas'ui has an all white helmet, where on the website he only has a white helmet antenna thing and a white inner shoulder pad. Does it matter how I go about this? Are there even any tau players out there who can answer my question? P.S I'm painting em T'au S'ept

Nope, make his heraldry however obvious you want it. It's your mini after all

But just for info, normally the 'Ui of the unit is indicated with the Sept marking color (e.g. T'au is white) replaces a notable piece of armor (shoulder pad, helmet, helmet doodads, grieves, etc.)

I hope that helps

Sure does, thanks alot!
