basecoat vomit brown
draw camo pattern on with a pencil
test pattern with three blocks: vermin brown, 50/50 vermin brown/bleached bone.

So you end up with the old vermin brown, a 50/50 mix of vermin brown and bleached bone (the lighter color) and vomit brown

Tau Light Ochre, a 50/50 mix of Ushabti Bone and Skrag Brown, and Skrag Brown

If you need the original colors, those are Coat 'd arms paints and the link above has their color names. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/602391/6972450.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/602391/6972450.page GMT Tau codex desert camo colours.

One point - that is almost "too good" of a camo pattern - it is very high contrast - which in real world is exactly what you want in a pattern - as it breaks up the shape of the object it is on.

However, for our little plastic wargaming models, when using a more realistic contrast camo, they seem to loose detail and definition.

To prevent this, you want a more subtle camo pattern - one that clearly shows that something is camo (like the gw paint job) but you can still easily see the shape lines and details on the model.

Just a suggestion....love the pattern!

Probably going to repaint part of my hammerhead the same as my piranha. Just do the wing section like the hammerhead below.

Overall im pretty happy with the finish. From certian angles it is hard to make out all the lines and shape of the vechile like camo should. But also really pops on the game board and draws alot of attention.
