I paint around 4-6 armies per year for last 3 years, and now this is the right time to bring my own army on the table. I was wondering what colours to use, which scheme is right for me and fluff-friendly. First thought was "Farsight", but 3/4 of my paintjobs are focused on red. Vior'la is great and easy scheme, but booooring... UNTIL NOW. Great showcase how to make an amazing looking boxart scheme, thanks a lot!

I like the Blue and the White scheme. I often see and have a special love for the Tau sept scheme and don’t think you achieved it. It strikes my eye as a very successful non metallic bronze/copper scheme. I hope Tau miniatures make their way to your hobby desk more often. There isn’t enough Tau content out there and they are Good looking models.

Nice Video Trovarion. I’d be interested in a short vid on your take on what Khimera or other brands specific colors are stand out and why. Not a this vs that but more of a “Here’s why I like this” approach. Also it would be nice to see something short on some elaboration on approaches to story telling through balancing the figure in the setting (basing and basing materials)

I have a color scheme for my Space Marines and Imperial Knights similar to your Voir'la, only most of the red is a rich blue-indigo (I hate to use the term ultramarine blue in 40K, but that's what it is), yet retains a few red accent points, highlighted with a fluorescent red. I think it would go pretty well on a T'au. I've got some models I'm building now, so we'll see how it goes when I get them painted. Love the inspiration here!

For my T'au army I went for a tawny pink desert camo used in WW2 by the LRDG (the originators of the SAS, they painted their trucks pink). Feature colour for pads/ panels is a blue grey, which I picked because the combination looks so good on Kestrels (the bird of prey). Have just bought some Greater Good figures from Wargame Exclusive, will send you some pics when they're done!
@isisnmagic18122 жыл бұрын
Actually yes the LRDG where about before the SAS, they used to drive the SAS troops to their drop of point and pick them up after the mission, they did this before the SAS got their own jeeps. It was the SAS who thought of pink painted jeeps , and was still using that colour in the first gulf war, they stopped by the time of the second one. That's why you can buy SAS jeep kits that come in pink.

ein tipp: nach dem waschen der teile. leg sie in sehr warmes wasser für paar sekunden und entferne dann die stützen. dann erst härten. gehen viel leichter ab ohne spuren zu hinterlassen. natürlich mit handschuhen. sind ja noch nicht gehärtet. auch eine "2 eimer wäsche" ist sinnvoll. also erst die gesamte platte mit dem druck noch dran in einem behälter reinigen, dann erst den druck in die wasch-maschine. dadurch wird dessen iso nicht so schnell verschmutzt und du kannst die druckplatte gleich mitreinigen. lg

Love it. The idea to add the purple to the blue one is interesting. One thing that would work well is more panel lining in the armour. There is a lot of contrast to be gained. I pained the free GW T'AU fire warrior last week and it added a lot. Tried an oil wash at first but the dents are often times not large enough so i traced them by brush.

My feelings from these models (which are all awesome): The Vior'la scheme would definitely sell the best as a commission. It's everything you'd want. The T'au (gotta love the glottal apostrophe) scheme fits the base really well. An army like that (with some extreme brights on big guns) would looks sick. The Sa'cea is my personal favourite. It looks so cool and sleek but also like it has been in an actual battle. I'm not sure if the super-cool shadows fit the fiery warm base though...

Definitely will be using them in a project I'm doing soon, a heavily kitbash/proxy CSM demon mix army where the CSM is going to be my own custom chapter kitbashed from slaves to darkness and other AOS models, like the good guys, can't recall the name of them lol, as if they were members of that order originally but fell to the influnce of Chaos...now reconise the true greatest warriors are the harvester of skullz and blood for thier new favorite hommie the red fella 😉

Tau released during an extended break from the hobby for me (Necrons, too) so I never really got into them. Recently though I have looked at them more, and I really do like the Battle Suits, and how even the basic troops are sort of just like mini Battle suits. I have been thinking about starting a Tau army maybe as my next project. I love painting armour as well, there is a lot you can do with it. PS: I liked the first one the best. I am a fan of grey and red, so this one stands out most to me. also it goes really well with the base you designed. PPS: I must check out that basing company.
