About the Project

My Tau have been languishing partly done for going on 20 years. The release of the new Farsight model made me want to finally get the army finished. They are organised by 20 years ago rules, but I'm sticking with it and they will hopefully finally be feeling loved again.

Old paint scheme

The Tiger Shark bomber came with 14 drones. I originally painted the drones with a blue centre but staring at them on the table with everything else made me regret this choice.

So I decided to change them up.

First I tried vomit brown directly over the blue but it didn’t look right. So I went ahead and took them back to black instead.

Nope. Not quite right…

Re-basecoated ready for next step

Next I touched up the red gore and added red gore to the rim of the drone as they were all just black. I prefer the coloured edging.

Next I did the first layer of vomit brown on each drone. Then layered up until it was a nice even smooth colour.

Smooth and even layer of colour

Next I added vines to the top in Hoeth Blue.

I briefly toyed with the idea of blazing orange vines too, inspired by the pilots jumpsuits but I didn’t like how it looked on the drone, so went with just blue.

The drones are complete and back in the cabinet for now.
