Tau, part 3

A rescued ebay Hammerhead I'm working on.

Flat blocked in colours, red white and grey.  The battle damage.  Then gloss varnish, thick oil wash and a lot of scrubbing.  The right engine still needs some work and a lot of touch up may be needed after varnishing.

Tau, part 2

This is my Tau commander, a crisis suit with two missile pods, a drone controller and target array.  The head is from my Riptide.  The marker light drones are converted with spare crisis bits.  The arms are not attached yet so I can paint them separately.

I'm looking to get the base done tomorrow, then undercoat at the weekend weather permitting.

Tau

Recently I got the urge to paint some Tau.  I sold off the few models I had at the start of the year to a friend, so I went on eBay to get some more.  I kinda wish in retrospect that I had just bought Virgin boxes as striping the paint has Been painfully tedious and many are missing comms. 

The colour scheme is the old cities of death cover, red with white armour.
