Still have to do highlighting for the edges and then put on water transfers but at least they're table ready now. Let me know what you think. I'll post some pictures of a piranha I finished last week, and my Kroot unit shortly.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/314696/1890537.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/314696/1890537.page GMT Re:Ajefferism's Tau Empire Progress Blog - www.empireoftheeasternfringe.blogspot.com Scheme is nice and simple!

Here's a Crisis Suit Commander "Fireknife" build. Color scheme is Skeleton Bone Army Painter Spray (same as Citadel Bleached Bone), Bestial Brown, Skull White highlights and Burnished Gold for "sensor/antenna" areas. The exposed metal in the legs, elbows and thrusters used Chaos Black with a drybrushing of Codex Grey overtop. For the Red lenses I used Red Gore, Blood Red, Blazing Orange and Skull White specular highlight.

It was only the second tournament I was in but apparently the scoring was different than most tournaments. One third of the score weight went to painting, another third to sportsmanship and the final third was your win/loss ratio (i was 1-1-1). Thats why one guy was whining at the end saying it wasn't a tournament but a "painting contest". Oh well, I won either way . Originally the tournament was supposed to be 10 people but 4 dropped out leaving only 6 people so it wasn't a big tournament obviously. Nothing to brag too much about (or complain too much about). Anyway, comments are welcome as always:

Not gonna put "designs" or camo patterns or anything. I like Tau (and Eldar) to have smooth clean lines uncluttered with too much battle damage, camo etc. Keep in mind I still have to highlight all my "completed" models. See the drones on the piranha and it will be similar to that except using half bleached bone and half skull white instead of full skull white. Also I plan on putting some decals on etc.... Sorry guess I gave the wrong impression that these were finished. Once I get about 1500-2000pts painted I'm gonna highlight everything in one batch and slap on the decals.

Though the same flat look will stay, dont really like Tau with alot (or any) battle damage on them for some reason, just personal taste i guess. I dont like dry brushing on tau for some reason too.... hmmmm

Sorry the pictures aren't that great, experimented with a Macro lense but the depth of field was way too shallow....]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/314696/1927190.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/314696/1927190.page GMT Ajefferism's Tau Empire Progress Blog - www.empireoftheeasternfringe.blogspot.com http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/314696/1927202.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/314696/1927202.page GMT Ajefferism's Tau Empire Progress Blog - www.empireoftheeasternfringe.blogspot.com

Its using a construction toy set called MAGZ. The main pedestal portion has magnets on either end and I just delicately screwed in a wood screw to the main pedestal hole on the actual suit. Got sooooo tired of them snapping off the GW clear bases. Take a look.
