Hi everyone, would like some advice on how to paint my fire warriors, I'm torn between white armor with purple detailing or black armor and purple detailing maybe ideas besides these also?

black an gold, white an gold, traffic cone orange!

I prefer the original brown.

Hmmmm incorporating the gold sounds cool, traffic cone orange will include the white stripes? Haha

I can say that using dark colors on the armor just didn't mesh well with the overall Tau aesthetic. I went with fortress gray for the armor plates, and chaos black for the cloth and joints/unarmored portions of the models. Using a lighter color on the armor plates, and a darker secondary color helps make the armor and detail lines just pop on Tau. Of course, always remember, if you are happy with your paint scheme, that's all that matters!

Thanks for the advice! I liked the white armor initially so I think its my plan

Black with details and highlights in bright orange.

Go back a colour and do them either Space Wolves Grey or Bleached Bone. Then you can still highlight your minis

There's a cool Coloring page like scheme designer availible from Eastern Empire:

I also found a Hero Maker Style online one
