Master Toddius Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Hail B&CS Brethren, Its been quite some time since I last posted a WIP army. Will start off slow and first Introduce a squad of 6 Crisis Battle Suits. Just finished painting 22 burst cannons. Have several other weapon options to paint. Everything is Magnetized. Still deciding on a final basing scheme. Let me know what you think.

Wormwoods Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Always liked Tau in green! Very neat work, too, that highlighting is fantastic. My one concern is that the chest and shoulder symbols aren't very visible against the green, at least not in this photograph.

Grotsmasha Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Very nicely done. I think the models would contrast well with rusty metal bases with some Valhallen Blizzard (Snow) Firedrake Cordova and Master Toddius 1 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/379484-tau-army-repaint-freshly-added-units/#findComment-5970279 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just bought a new light box and figuring out the best way to take pics into it.

Master Toddius Posted July 13, 2023 Author Share Posted July 13, 2023 Old paint scheme from 2011. Back when GW still produced the original Shadow Blue. After I painted this scheme -- I soon noticed that a LOT of Tau players went with blue Tau armies. Didn't get past the WIP stage and left the army as is until this year.

Master Toddius Posted July 13, 2023 Author Share Posted July 13, 2023 The new repaint, different models + the addition of the turret and drones. Its still WIP. Working on finalizing the pauldron sept color. Looking at getting some of the metalics as well. The bases are close to what I want, I think it needs another layer of highlights, bring it to a lighter brown.

Firedrake Cordova Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 They look good to me If I'm honest, I like the sept icon the colour it is, for some reason (probably because it "feels realistic") ... there again, it's no good being that colour if you want to pull attention to it.

Master Toddius Posted August 6, 2023 Author Share Posted August 6, 2023 (edited) I got side tracked with Darren Lathams #90smarinechallenge on Instagram. I never painted up the Flamer from the 1993 2nd ed box Marines. The primer is Citadel DA rattle can, sprayed 30 years ago. So here we go! :) Made some progress. Going to be DA 4th Co.

Pearson73 Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 That's some great clean painting, particularly the highlighting. I think the black backdrop enhances the photos a lot.
