Hey guys, I’m back. Over the past weeks I’ve been working on several things, including a Tau Kill Team for a trusty long-time client.
Six Stealth Suits plus two gun drones. I went with a modern camouflage pattern. No “I’m going into/coming out of stealthy mode” shenannigans. It’s fun but it’s been done oh so many times. Instead I did this camouflage pattern and slightly over the top wear on the armour to give them a true “behind enemy lines” look. To contrast the camouflage I added some blue OSL.
This kind of desert camouflage works really, really well with 28mm miniatures because it’s rather light, has high contrast and the small, sharp details. Overall the colours are rather similar to how I’ve done my Infinity Haqqislam miniatures.
The idea is that these guys scout ahead, with a full Tau force coming in once the recon and initial harassment things are done. So stay tuned for the rest of the army which should show up rather soon!

Great job!
That desert camo scheme really works on the stealth suits, it's pleasantly surprised me how good that unit looks.
Thanks for the comments!
@Fabio: Thank you. There is not much to it, I just paint it on. 🙂 This is what mini painting is about I think. Techniques and materials are cute but the thing I do 90% of the time is painting things onto the models. There are no tricks to it and the tricks there are it's best to figure out what works for you and what doesn't. I'm aware that nowadays there are a crapton of tutorials out there and people seem to love them but sitting down, trying out things and doing them is what I think gets people further.
@Dieter: Thank you. I have no clue what went on there but it should be fixed now. 🙂
Really nice. Is it just me, or is that first pic getting weird errors on closeup?
That's amazing camo. Please can you tell me your technique?
Thats a very nice change to the norm, solid effort!
