Which color scheme do you prefer? I still got a few more fire warriors donated by my good friend but not sure which color scheme to go with.

The blue and tan

I agree, the blue is better.

I would try to get it to pop out a little more. The way they are painted right now you couldn't tell the difference on the table top.

Remember the "How will it look from 4-6 feet away?" factor. Make sure there is something to draw the eye to it on the battlefield, not just for the camera from a foot away.

Go blue orks think its a lucky color!

What do you think of the pulse rifle glow?

I say do the Blue but the Grey looks very good too, and the glow is great really well done makes me miss my tau...

Go blue, just make it a little brighter, and that glow, although cool add a few patches to show burn marks. i should imagine all that heat would burn the gun a little..

Are you thinking of adding tau sept markings to it?

blue

Blue!

Agreed. BLue.

Blue

I guess I'm in the minority, I much prefer the tan and greenish gray colour.

I like the blue, though I think it would look even better with a few gloss coats over the hard armor. Kind of that stormtrooper look.

I prefer the gray, it is a more subdued camo type colour rather than the 'look at me in blue and shoot me' colour

Yeah, I'm in the minority too - I prefer the gray because it reminds me of urban camo. The blue just stands out too much like a "hey Space Marine - point your bolters here!"

To make the gray pop a little more, give it a light drybrush with some Praxeti White Dry compound. The edges will be highlighted but the model won't be too bright.

Nice job on the pulse rifle glow. Keep that regardless of the colour scheme you choose.

I like the blue better, but that's just me.

But the blue is not really the ultrasmurfs bright shoot at me blue.

But I see your point, I guess tau are not like space marines who prefer bright colors so they can get shot at

I like the grey scheme better. And the glow is nice, however the weapon top could be a bit brighter.

Other than that it looks good (the gray one anyway).

Cheers
