Empire of the Rising Sun
My Tau Empire Project Log
With 6th edition not far away now, ive decided to start painting my Tau army to a gaming standard. Fixing up some of the broken models as I go along! Still havent came up with a colour scheme for my army however im painting the Kroot at the moment. Havent decided on a base scheme for the models yet either. Started to build my Forge World Tetras today aswell. Ill leave the crew out until I paint them. Progress so far:

Just finished the first tester of my army which is 7 Kroot warriors and 1 Kroot Hound. For anyone curious of the scheme ive listed the paints below.

Ill also upload the other Kroot as I do them aswell.

This is the result of the first few models! Please ignore the quality! Not the best at taking photos. Might redo the Kroot hair to match the army colours when I decide on them. Any comments or feedback are welcome! :D
