You'll have to forgive the lack of pictures for now, as I need to take some...

So far, I've constructed one unit of Stealth Suits and one unit of Fire warriors and a Crysis suit, 2 Stealth suits are done and nearly all the fire warriors are done. I've experimented with drybrush layering on these models. Basing them with black, then painting the armour with Shadow Grey, drybrushing Space Wolves Grey and finally Skull white to highlight the armour. ( Pics to come soon )

also, as a side project I've got two Imperial guard snipers - Who I'm practising painting camo with.

I apologise now for the quality of the pictures ( When they're up, I've only got my phone to take pictures - 2Megapixels )

So, keep an eye on this and it'll be updated soon!

Sniper with Camo




Tau, Construction/Painting








EDIT: Sorry for the blurryness - I really have no other way of taking pictures at the moment, think I might have to invest in a camera!

EDIT: After taking a few pictures, I've discovered my phones likes to blur everything that's up close. Will find a work around!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/402206/3412810.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/402206/3412810.page GMT DarkStars Tau/bits&bobs http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/402206/3414976.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/402206/3414976.page GMT DarkStars Tau/bits&bobs

I have found that if you take the picture from far enough back to get it in focus, that you can then crop it with a picture editing program and enlarge it to show the details. Also helps to have lots of light from more than one angle. Good luck with the painting!


Will try that later then, hopefully it'll make the pictures slightly more visible! 'Nother upload to come later, Finished the fire warrior squad and Stealth suit squad - moving onto the Crisis suit and starting to put the Kroot together...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/402206/3416546.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/402206/3416546.page GMT DarkStars Tau/bits&bobs http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/402206/3416575.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/402206/3416575.page GMT DarkStars Tau/bits&bobs

Thank you, when I get home I'll try out the other guys advice and hopefully it'll make them easier to see...Stoopid phone camera!

As for the colours, It's just the standard Sa'cea sept - which I fell in love with.

Updates to come 4.30ish GMT.

EDIT: Will upload a few pics in a minute - Currently fighting with Photoshop CS5 to work...

Hokey, fiddled with photoshop for a bit and done my best with taking pictures but this is about as good a quality as I can get.
