Hi guys!
I'm new to dakka, so please bear with me!
I was thinking about starting my own paint theme, but was wondering how to achieve two things.
The first is the glossy/textured/rippled (???) effect of the black and red on these figures respectively?
Please note - one of the pictures in the links are taken by myself nor do the objects in question belong to me!

In addition, I was wondering how to acquire the tetris/lego effect.
Again, please have mercy on my ignorance.

Finally, and possibly most importantly, I was hoping for feedback on my notion.
In regards to the tau, do the armour predominantly black, with a fraction of the "scales" red (first form).
Then in regards to the the cloth, do the majority varying tones of grey, with the occasional spot of gold/bright yellow (second form).
This would also be same colour as the insignia.
Finally, I was hoping to make the eyes look like a jewel (deep darkish blue, to stand out from the black) with lighting effects in light blue, equivalent to the green in this link.
Again, if anybody knows how, that'd be great to know!

So people, what would you think of this more sinister colour scheme?
Are there any other suggestions - I am not too keen on the traditional colours :/
Thanks in advance,
Celebor
