40k Hobby Weekend Tau of the Shattered Sword
After the Weekend, Day 3 Update
Slowly working on the broadside. There has been some experimenting with colours to get something similar to the camouflage pattern from the Ha-Go tank.
The suite was re-coated in Vallejo Hemp; it looked better than the sand that was painted on the weekend. A citadel brown and Vallejo Oliver was added. The brown parts received a washer of darker brown paint to make it a bit darker. The sun stripe was added using a Vallejo dark skin.
A dark grey was added to the mechanical bits like the legs, barrels, elbow joints and power pack. Brass was applied to tech bits. White and red paint was added to the Tau symbols.
The lens on the gun and on the head were painted yellow and then Waystone Green (a Citadel technical paint). The lens standout more with a light base coat before the Waystone.
A series of blue paint were used to make and energy effect. It is possible to do a glow effect with a paint brush. This was one attempt at that.
Getting closer to finishing.
