I want to paint my Battlesuits for my Tau army but do not know what colors to use! I found this great tutorial but the colors it lists are no longer being made. What are subsitutes I can use to get close to the same color? Here is the tutorial: http://huntercadre.blogspot.com/2009/01/tutorial-speed-paint-battlesuit.html

The colors I need substitutes for are:

Tausept Ochre
Vomit brown
bestial brown
bleached bone
devlan mud

I really need help to get started on my modeling! Please help!

This should be what you are looking for. Most of the colors are still available just with different names, however I am not sure about what is the new devlan mud. Hope it helps.

Thanks so much! This will help a lot! BTW are the other columns different paint brands?

The July 2012 issue of White Dwarf has a very good Tau painting article. It uses all the new paints and shows the steps used
