				<title>Tau Desert Painting Question</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ Hi, I've had my tau army since I was 8 years old, and the paintjob is awful. I was thinking about stripping them and repainting them in a different scheme. I wanted to paint my tau as close as I can to <a href="http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Warhammer-40000/Tau/TAU-BATTLESUITS-AND-DRONES/XV9-HAZARD-CLOSE-SUPPORT-ARMOUR.html" target="_new" rel="nofollow">this</a> XV9 battlesuit, in a desert kind of style. However I'm unsure on how to best go about doing this. It looks like its been done with a spray can and painted over, similar to what is described <a href="http://warhammer-tau-army.blogspot.co.uk/2010/01/tau-colour-schemes.html" target="_new" rel="nofollow">here</a>. I was thinking about undercoating it in a brown colour, then drybrushing the armour pannels with a 7:3 mix of <a href="http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat800005a&prodId=prod1500228a" target="_new" rel="nofollow">Tyrant Skull</a> and <a href="http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat800005a&prodId=prod1500232a" target="_new" rel="nofollow">Longbeard Grey</a>, before going over the darker pannels in <a href="http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat840001a&prodId=prod1500138a" target="_new" rel="nofollow">karak stone</a>. I'd paint the exposed metal areas in <a href="http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat840001a&prodId=prod1500138a" target="_new" rel="nofollow">karak stone</a> before washing with <a href="http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat800004a&prodId=prod1500258a" target="_new" rel="nofollow">Seraphim Sepia</a>. Obviously there'd be a bit more detailing and highlighting than just that, but thats the general idea.<br /> <br /> Anyway, I want to know what you all think - this is the first time I've tried to come up with a complex method, so I'm a relative novice. Is this the right way to go about doing it? or should I literally just grab three spray cans and spray away? Am I using the right colours? what other colours could I use?<br /> Thanks]]></description>
