I'm not set on a cadre paint scheme just yet I'm still toying with a few ideas.
Here's the front runners of possible themes, the first two are color patterns done on photoshop and aren't actually painted.
Traditional desert camo:
Urban Grey Camo:
German Tiger Camo:
Those aren't my models but rather ones I pulled from ATT. I thougt the paint pattern looked pretty cool, based on the WW2 german fighter paint. I'd try for a bit smoother transition between shades via airbrushing.
My whole Tau army is pretty much devoid of paint save primer so I'm still fishing for ideas before I start working. Comments on the various patetrns are most welcome as I'm quite undecided but I'd like it to look top notch once i actually commit to painting.
