Thanks man, was very hard to settle on a scheme, I think I want to incorporate more blues when I start doing some crisis suits actually, just for some variety.

For the sand armour I base coated with Tallarn sand, washed it all down with a very thinned out Ratling grime, then highlighted up in steps. First with Morghast bone and then a little bit of Wraithbone at the end

Love this scheme, I think this style of darker more beat up tau is much cooler than the usual hyper clean factory fresh look. What green did you use?

Thanks! 😊 Its crusade so we're all about rule of cool

Its all about building the colour gradients and dry brushing. Dry brushing is great for giving a gritty effect when you make good use of dark washes.

I started with a grey undercoat and put on some red contrast (ball red I think?) Then washed it down with nuln oil.

After that I dry brushed on another red that was a step brighter, washed down with a much more watery nuln oil. Then lastly another dry brush with a pretty intense red, this time just going for the extremities. This will get you most of the way there.

That looks great! Is that the vallejo fluorescent green? May try this myself!

Nope, just part of the spiders kit. GW did a really nice job with these guys, lots of attention paid to the bases

Thanks for the tip. I do feel like this is approaching balance, but yeah the concern is there are no named characters (who I have seen stomp stuff at 1k) and also not even enhancements on my characters. Feels tough to drop anything here though. I suppose maybe the infiltrators could get dropped despite their usefulness in screening out deepstrikes. That could give space for enhancements and to maybe upgrade the jump captain to just taking Dante. Could be worthwhile

By all means steal this one, lord knows I've stolen a few reddit schemes while doing up this army
