The blue hands are just a concept of having glovless hands. It looks odd in the picture I might go with black gloves.

The Corps insignia will be transfers as my detail painting is not that good. Let me know what you think. Thanks!

After i undercoat black I start with a Khemri Brown foundation to give a better colour to paint the yellow onto. Then using a slightly watered down Iyanden Darksun foundation paint paint 2 layers (don't worry about getting it into the cracks). Then do a highlight mix of Iyanden Darksun and bleached bone to highlight any of the edges. Finally (i make my own washes) use a weak dark brown wash and fill in the cracks, weak enough not to affect the yellow with any unsightly, patchy, dried wash. And TADDAAA! you've got yourself a smooth, crisp and defined yellow

Hope that helps ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252460/908193.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252460/908193.page GMT Re:Tau Cadre based on DC's Blackest Night http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252460/908220.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252460/908220.page GMT Tau Cadre based on DC's Blackest Night

That's what I thought that the craft paints were too pale. So, I tried the gold yellow to get a deeper yellow and I guess it didn 't come out too well. Good thing I used the interior of my Devilfish to test my colors. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252460/908882.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252460/908882.page GMT Tau Cadre based on DC's Blackest Night IMHO I still say that you should use Iyanden Darksun foundation paint with a few highlights. It will come out crisper everytime ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252460/909736.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252460/909736.page GMT Tau Cadre based on DC's Blackest Night
That said, I'd suggest you rethink your technique. What you're doing has a somewhat uneven effect, and Tau look best with a very smooth, clean coat. It's a ton of work to get such an even coat, but it's worth it. Do the blending work just at the edge of the panels.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252460/909975.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252460/909975.page GMT Re:Tau Cadre based on DC's Blackest Night http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252460/911591.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252460/911591.page GMT Tau Cadre based on DC's Blackest Night FW Unit is done.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252460/912803.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/252460/912803.page GMT
