Sorry , I just gave it a try
I did one of my niciest Tau trades with a guy from Portogal
Anyway here are some more Squat units
Ironshield APC(Exodus wars) I think they fit very well as Ironshields
Steelhawk gyrocopter (Exodus Wras)



again failed on the windows
do not want to paint them in blue, like WMN example on the Exodus Wars site, because the main color is already blue
BUT I KNOW IT HAS TO WORK with a brown yellow mix!
Who was this?
Scream? WMN himselfe? any other SUperPro?
Maybe the Guy can remember and give me a nice walkthrough:
"how to paint windows in brown/yellow and it still looks cool"

best regards

I did some brown/amber-coloured for my little Croc Ships (Uncharted Seas Orc Fleet). Very simple to do:

Paint the windows in a gem-style using a dark beige and highlighting up to a warm ivory. Then, a *very* thin wash or two of yellow ink, followed by the sharpest highlights in pure white. Looked quite good, I'll see if I can get you a pic when I get home tonight if you'd like?

For the colours, I used something like:

- P3 Cryx Bane Highlight + tiny spot of Cryx Bane Base
- P3 Cryx Bane Highlight
- P3 Cryx Bane Highlight + Increasing amounts of Menoth White Base
- Menoth White Base
- Glaze with very dilute yellow ink
- Small sharp highlight with P3 Menoth White Highlight
- Spot highlights with P3 Morrow White (or any pure white)

Love those Steelhawk models from Exodus BTW; I got a pack to do the same thing with!

Easy way: with your yellow basecoat on the window, add a small drop of gryphon sepia or devlan mud citadel wash on each window. It should reach and darken bottom part when dried. Place a small white dot on top part. Should fastly improve window rendering.

Here is a pic from my vultures when I was painting them, you could see the different colors:

Thanks guys
I used watered down badab black for washing
I hope the next ones will turn out better

This is what is left from my Tau command Unit
which should have be my TOEG entry
I just finished them to use it in battle
I have tried another colorsheme but it did not turned out the way I want
Just the glowing effect worek out well for the 1st time

Squat artillery
still need basing

Very nice! EW stuff looks good match.
