So I have started on some of the Tau Hammerhead proxies I picked up from Onslaught Minis. Awesome figures.

Started with a Skeleton Bone primer and then a wash of GW Seraphim Sepia. Turned out far too close to the official GW colours than I intended but what can you do.

Blocking in some colours now and will start on the highlights when I get them all cleaned up.



I have six more Hammerheads ready to be primed as well as the Crisis Suits but its a bit too cold at the moment to do that.

They look good. Is that the final color of the weapons or is that just their base/under coat?

I am not 100% sure but I think that is how they will stay. I might paint a few panels in white or blue to break them up and add some energy glows

Nice clean paint job as it stand! Adding a third color or a little detailing would would really make them pop.

Looking good. I like the grey weapons!

I do too. Total fluke though. Makes me think that my way of choosing colours needs a reevaluation



It doesn't show ip well in the photos but there are small red accent stripes on the vehicle as well. I'll be adding a few panels of colour to the weapons as well

Did a bit more painting today. Added some colour to the weapons, cleaned up some of the overpainted areas and then pumped up the red a bit so it shows better. Painted the missiles as well as the start of the glow on the fusion cannon.





Next up are the cockpits and then highlights

Calling these done. Just the bases to do but I am going to wait on those until I have a few more units to work through

I wish I could get my fine edge highlights that clean. Well done.

Thanks. The minis help a lot. The lines are very crisp.



Thinned paint and a good brush. If I can do it anyone can :-)

wonderful colours on those

Thanks for all the feedback.

I am working on the Crisis suits now. Not sure how they will work out as they don't have the same large areas to apply colour to. Might have to do a test model first to see

Starting on the Crisis Suits. Going to use the same colours but mix the placement up a bit to try to make some of the elements stand out more
