Sinister Tau

[Barnabas Choiseul]

I was trying to think of something that would go with Chaos Black, and some sort of silver...does anyone have any ideas???...or just a whole new color scheme would be helpful..

Ultramarines Blue.
In example.

If you make it look too "sinister", you'll end up with some very stupid looking Tau. Enjoy.

I really like that one thanks

Pepto-Tau are the most sinister of all.

I can't, for the life of me, figure out where you two got those paint scheme templates.

Oh god, I also saw the "grim darkness" part, and suddenly got reminded about the pseudo-meme about how grim and dark 40k is.

IN THE GRIM DARKNESS OF THE FAR FUTURE THERE IS ONLY GRIM AND DARK

I want to try to go with something simple...cuz everyone wants to go with complex ideas and I want people to be able to tell the difference between mine and others'  

[DarkElf27]

Here's my idea. Fairly simple; black plates, red cloth, grey straps.

I like that one too, wow I really like that one....but you said it's your idea....I'll proably go with the same concept...just different colors..black, white and blue maybe...

Nah, take it if you like. I'm not likely to start Tau any time soon.  

[Barnabas Choiseul]

Oh cool, thank you very much.

Not a problem. My next army'll probably be Necrons, anyway. If/when I start Tau, I'll probably use that scheme, but I doubt that it matters much; if you run into someone running the same paint scheme as you in the distant future, it'll probably be me. xd

I don't think that'll happen..I'm Murfreesboro Tennessee
but that would be interesting whee

LOL they, for some reaseon, remind me of the Pretty Marines *shudders*

Personally I preffer muted Tones for Tau, so here is a pretty simple idea.



Chaos Black main, some form of grey for the straps. Dark brown undersuit (The image does not do scrorched brown over black justice) And Ultramarines blue detailings.
(I just did the detailings on the right leg in mithril silver to make them stand out.)

I mixed both D.E. and E.P.'s and my ideas in my head. razz



Possible Shas'ui colouration
