Hey all,

I've been an avid reader of ATT since its roots as MTT back when Fish of Fury was all the rage. I have long admired and enjoyed the works of people on these forums.

Without further ado: here are some of my own. I'm pretty pleased with how the white armor of the battlesuits came off:





For the stealth suits I wanted something close to the classic GW scheme but with a more robust red to fit my cadre's scheme. They make for a nice contrast against white fire warriors (will post another time).






I love the old stealthsuit models. Although I must say, after photographing these definitely got some touchups on some of the highlights.

Any comments or suggestions are welcome. I've enjoyed lurking in the shadows for toooo long

Please edit your post so that it isn't a bunch of side by side images. It's playing havok on my browser.

We prefer smaller images with links to larger to prevent side scrolling on most computers. Remember a lot of us may be looking from a work PC which probably doesn't have the best resolution.

I'll sort out the edit, but overall wow.. nice rich red and strong white. Definitely have to ask what your formula for that is?

Miss the old XV15's, certainly smaller footprint than the 25's.

I really enjoy the XV-15's... with the exception of the burst cannons. I don't like how the arm is "inside" of the weapon.

But all of that aside: THESE LOOK GREAT! I really like the highlights and the color scheme and everything! (Bork'an is my favorite sept, so I have always been partial to white as a primary color on the tau, and your choice of red looks smashing!)

I would also like to mention the exquisite conversion work. I have converted those models in the past and I know that it is no easy task. You are to be commended. Particularly on the kneeling model

Well done,

Wow that colour scheme looks really good on tau. You have painted them really well too

Where are those XV15's from? I really want them!
Love the paint jobs as well, everyone on this forum seems infinitely better than me

Superb painting! Tutorial on how you do the red? Pretty please

Those XV8s look great! Keep up the good work and post more when you got 'em!

Hey guys,

Sorry about the format, I'll be sure to make it a little easier on you low-ressers next post. Glad you enjoyed the red colorscheme though. It was achieved with a black basecoat, 1-2 layers of red gore leaving black in the crevices, then topped with 50/50 red gore/blood red on the edges and red blood highlights to make it all pop. Key IMO was just leaving enough black to make a nice gradient.

Appreciate the positive feeback, I've definitely revered these forums for a looooong time.

Your guys look great, the painting is clean and crisp. I look forward to seeing the bases done, and the rest of your army.

Yeah, those are great! Especially the white sections on the suits, it's a hard colour to pull off effectively.
Some back shots would be good though. If I may level a single critism, it would be the lack of red on the backpack/jetpack.
As far as I can see, there is no red on the back packs but a small area of red to break up the white may be something to consider.
Just my 2 pennies!

Nice work. I really like the green wires on what I´m guessing is your stealth suit team leader. It´s accents like these that that break the monotony of a colour scheme and make it really stand out from the rest.

Question: how did you highlight the white on your XV8s. Did you wash the white before highlighting or what? I have an honor guard for my Etheral with skull white heads. And I´m wondering how to highlight. What´s whiter than skull white?

Are you gonna name your red and white Shas'O'Canada?

O'Canada.

Bodyguards:

O'Canada, we stand on guard for thee!

This really made me lol, great work on those minis though! They look good and the red/white/black is applied well.

Keep it up!

So nice to see clean painted whites and reds. Keep it up!
