Also a major consideration should be how you want them complement/match your Tau units (common markings, themes, warpaint etc...) Google Images can be your friend for pictures of existing themes.

I'm personally a fan of blue themed Kroot like this but that of course depends on your main army colors.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/518083/5460301.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/518083/5460301.page GMT Re: How to paint Kroot? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/518083/5460311.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/518083/5460311.page GMT How to paint Kroot?
3d foundry did theirs in orange. Personally, I'd have gone for a black/grey base instead of the reddish orange that they used. More contrast that way. Makes the model "pop".

I painted mine to fit my bases, to make them look more like they could change their skin colour at whim. I do a lot of desert bases so mine were just Tau Light Ochre, drybrushed Dheneb Stone (or whatever is the new equivalent) and then washed Gryphonne sepia. If it helps i could link some pictures?
If you could that would be great thanks.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/518083/5461676.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/518083/5461676.page GMT How to paint Kroot? http://teamcoco.com/video/paul-rudd-exclusive-anchorman

GW's worst models. A pain to assemble, and even more of a pain to keep upright.

But anyway, the rule of thumb is to paint them with the same palette as your Tau and/or a palette that matches the basing.

It is fun to mix it up a bit. Say, you have Tau that are red armored, khaki clothed, and white sept markings. You can paint the Kroot Khaki-tan with red accents and white warpaint or quills. Basically, using a matching palette, but mixing around the importance of the colors you chose.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/518083/5464339.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/518083/5464339.page GMT How to paint Kroot?


It contrasts well with Tau armor, as seen in this model where I added some Tau technology. Firepower is correct in that, while having a completely different look to the Tau, it is important to choose a similar palette in order to unify your army.
