So I'm thinking about starting a Farsight Enclave army with the new Tau, but I had a question! When it comes to painting them, would every single unit be red to fit Commander Farsight's color scheme (of course with variations on the helmets/shoulders to represent rank)?

I would assume so yeah, back in the day I painted my Tau in the Farsight Enclave scheme and they looked pretty suave.

I had a Farsight Enclave Tau army, and I painted them with mostly tan and dark brown, with little bits of maroon-red and such on various panels of the armor and vehicles. I've since repainted them and plan on repainting them again, but it looked decent enough at the time.

From the pictures in white dwarf, yes. FW and everything else wear the same red, black cloth, yellow lights, grey sept markings and accent panels.
