40k Hobby Weekend Tau of the Shattered Sword
Test Paint III
Continuing with painting… Yriel Yellow was added to brighten up the yellows. A couple of thin coats were required. The red spots recieve a highlight with an application of Evil Sun Scarlet followed by Wild Rider Red. White stripes where added to the red part of the helmet; this is to be a squard marking.
As the paint dried, it was notice the helmet lenses needed work. A layer of Warpstone Glow was added to the lense.
For now this is the way that the Tau of the Shattered Sword will be painted. The base requires further work. Some touch up is required. Right now the Tau Fire Warrior is at a decent table top paint quality. I never claimed to be a good painter.
While working on this it was tempting to change the colour of the armour plates to a grey. This was not done as they grey of the armour would be too close to the grey of the skin and this would not look good on the Tau Etherael.
Below are some pictures of the painted Tau Fire Warrior, plus some other random photographs. A Tau Commander was recently added.
