Regular /tg/ was no help, so I decided to take my query here.

Here's the deal. I'm getting back into 40k, and I need some advice for what colors to paint my Tau army.

Here's what I have to work with. Plus a can of white primer.

Thoughts?

A light beige/brown with red trim and black undersuit would go well.

Night ops/City cammo. Lots of dark blues/greys/purples/near blacks. maybe add a slight red tint to it.

Hm

I've never done Tau painting before so...

I suggest though, Dark Grey Joints and Highlights, rest is Black aside from optics which should be a darkened red.

IN THE GRIM DARKNESS OF THE 41ST MILLENNIUM, THERE ARE ONLY UGLY PEOPLE.
AND SISTERS OF BATTLE.
WHO ARE UNFORTUNATELY ONLY HOT IF YOU'RE EITHER INTO FEMDOM OR /SS/.

So this is how I've painted mine. I used Blood Red, Regal Blue, Space Wolves Grey, and Boltgun Metal, with some Shadow Grey on the pants of the Fire Warriors.

argh! do not prime your minis WHITE!

prime them black, even if you are going to have white as a main color, prime black, move up to white, through bone and browns or grays. for the love of all things grimdark, prime black.
