Tau Test Model

This is a Fire Warrior for the Tau Army I've started collecting. I saw Bruno Rizzo's amazing work in an old White Dwarf and thought it was a really great way to represent the dichotomy of an advanced race such as the Tau being forced to operate for extended periods of time in a hostile desert environment far from any of their home territories.

This army will have splintered off from the main Tau force, after having had to live for so long on their own, so I've Greenstuffed the original Tau symbol and painted the emblem for their new faction. Also, I'm planning to give each of the warriors unique bar codes near the scopes of their weapons, to denote which weapon belongs to whom.

Hope you enjoy, more to come!

do black before you do scratchings, it gives the scratches a thin black highlight wich look awsome!

the black on the gun is thick and needs to get smoothed out, otherwise pretty cool
BladeofKings (Over a year ago):
Sorry, if you'd like me to take this elsewhere just let me know eliteijir, but I must say...I couldn't agree more with spacemarines.

What the hell is it with all these n00bs spamming about how happy they are to get "first comment"? Who the hell cares if you commented first? It's annoying, pathetic and just plain n00bish. Especially when you go "Yay, first comment!" but don't comment on the actual miniatures/terrain/etc...

Wow I really needed to get that out. Dunno why, but that's been annoying me quite a bit the last week or two.
asailant (Over a year ago):
I really like the fine detail.

Tip - Mix PaintVA Glue as 2:1, and the paint will settle so much better! No leftovers - nothing!
spacemarines (Over a year ago):
who ever says first comment is a noob its not cool and really anyoying
Paddel (Over a year ago):
Nice
eliteijr (Over a year ago):
Thanks for the comments!

Blade-I agree and have given him an extreme highlight of bleached bone. Against the desert yellow/graveyard earth basecoat, it pops very nicely.

BladeofKings (Over a year ago):
Nice job. Excellent weathering. I'd only suggest a very contrasting edge highlight to really set off the armor.
Nerd13 (Over a year ago):
Awesome, is that Kommando Khaki on the armour?
Exacuter-of-chaos (Over a year ago):
