What do you think?

Worked for the US armed forces for a few decades...
Why not for the Tau?

You might get a few more replies if you directly linked the image, like this:




From that angle, it looks quite nice. You've chosen the right colours, and put them together in an effective manner. The only thing I can suggest is to give it a black wash, because the armour looks a bit flat in some places (like on the shoulder pad)

Thanks, I'll probably add some washes to the squad and also I did try to direct link it but on my computer it wasn't showing up, I'll try again though.

It looks pretty good, I'd like to see more of them. What would be really impressive is if someone did digital

haha yeah, It's possible but it would certainly take quite some time to do

I like it, do you have more pics?

Thanks and not yet but I'll try to take some more soon and with a better camera as I've painted up the whole squad now plus I'll get to work on painting the sniper drone team I converted.

Just painted my Pirahna

not the greatest photo but I finished the XV25 stealthsuits and did another pathfinder (far right) and a fire warrior (far left)

Did some more painting, 5 pathfinders, 4 stealthsuits, 1 gun drone 1 converted sniper drone, 1 piranha, 6 fire warriors

It looks pretty good. I would recommend trying to smooth out the coats on the pirhana though. Also its an XV15, not an XV22

Thanks, and yeah you're right but I do have an xv22 in there, and yeah I added a wash to the piranha to make it look smoother.

I would paint the fatigues a little different somehow to differentiate a little between the armor and the fatigues. Maybe a little shadow where the two meet?

Yeah, I certainly will when I get new models but I got these ones used and there was waaaaay to much paint on them to begin with so any detail was sort of impossible. If i get new fire warriors I'll do olive drab armor with brown fatigues

Oooo i like it! maybe try changing up the angels of your camo, tuns of lines tends not to work as camo. i do like the colors but im left wishing there was something bright in there.

i have tried the digital camo on my Tau with little luck. I just cant get the blockyness down enough to try and do it on a lot of guys.

Yeah I might throw some khaki in there or do a few squads in desert camo
