Tau night world

[steevn]

used an idea from the new "how to paint citadel tanks book"

what do you guys like the best ?

A


OR

B


any other comments, advice,...?

[crouchingotter]

Oooh most definately B. That looks really cool!

Is it tricky to do? I only ask because if it adds a lot of time to your painting time then maybe consider not doing it.

I only say that because I'm more concerned with tabletop quality than painting each and every miniature as if it were a masterpiece.

I like B too, however I have to agree with crouchingotter if the camo's to hard.

Red and black are always a good combo.

[steevn]

not that hard, you just have to make them squary AND not too small

i did these tau (around 2000pts) a year ago as in A , i had to hurry to finish them in time for my first tournament, i always wanted to add something to them later on, i think i've found what to add => B

i've also detached all weapons from the suites to magnetise them, i don't now if the camo would fit the suits

[eltanko]

Definately B, A looks good, but the plain black looks a bit empty, so the camo looks very good on it

Actually i'm going to go with A. I've never been a fan of camo on Tau vehicles, although it can look cool on the fatigues part of infantry models.

[Serpent]

Option B kicks the living snot out of option A. Go for it!

[Son-Of-Sparda]

B. Otherwise the scheme is too Inquisitorial...

[primarch16]

B looks a lot nicer dude, go for that one.

[Spar666rawk]

i vote B - i love camo

my log -here - everything i do, come

cheers

[steevn]

soon very soon i'll add some new toys to the collection and will redo them all in option B. i might redo the highlighting on the black ,i used hormogaunt purple but i don't like it that much. how do you guys highlight black ?

i have removed all my glued on weaponry (suits) and will magnetise them, i fear this will take a lot of time, any advise ? drill them in, use double magnet or just 1 and pieces of needles in the weapons?

[le Mediko]

I like like the splinter camo on B very much too!

[steevn]

i'm redoing highlights on the B piranha, i really don't know what is was thinking when i went for the purple back in the days...
i'll use charadon granite

[Turrican1983]

Camo always looks awesome on Tau.

[steevn]

hi

i've finished a fire warrior and completed a piranha in B pattern




comments, advice?

[Rogerio]

Like it mate, i like the light grey highlights and mottled patterns on the Pirahna it looks very effective.

[steevn]

i'm thinking off adding 2nd lighter grey blocks to the pattern, what do you think ?
