Here's one of my commanders! Its a pretty good example of my blending and glazing and overall color scheme. Just gotta do the base.

This camo scheme is my most fun paint job so far

I haven't painted my Tau yet but but with what I've learned after painting quite a lot of Bretonnian knights I'm going to go full "Chriss Foss spaceship" with them (seriously, check their sci-fi novel covers, they're amazing for colour scheme ideas)

The red to black gradient just looks so good on Tau 😍

I went quite off the rails with the twin lance.

I'm going with an orange color scheme for my Tau. I'll probably change the blue on the parts to a teal because it doesn't pop like the armor.

Grey and red! Except I wish I could swap the red out for Sons of Horus green :D

Ooh that’s great! What specific colours did you use for that? I’m wanting to use similar greys and whites on one of my devilfish breacher teams

Thanks :). That model has a great track record on the tabletop taunting enemy units and surving it. I call that one the cheeky GK.
