Tau Kill Team Update

I'm pretty late to the party, but I made some progress on my T'au Empire Kill Team for Shadow War: Armageddon. I have only made a little bit of progress since my last update.

Some detail shots of the Shas'uyi, a specialist, and a Recon Drone. I have started adding edge highlighting.

Just a quick update on my T'au Shadow War Kill Team.

Not a lot of progress, but I started edge highlighting all of the dark reds.

Tau Color Scheme Test 3

In a follow up to a [distant] previous post Tau Color Scheme Test 2, I have finally decided on a third color scheme for my "Scout" models/units. I had already painted a Sniper Drone unit in this color scheme as a secondary color to my original Tau color scheme (see second pic below).

In the end I decided not to repaint sniper drone unit and use it for all "light" units with scout/stealth/shroud. I think this 'Maroon' scheme fits nicely with the new stark White/Red/Black scheme of the rest of the Army.

Below is a WIP of a partial unit of Pathfinders that are pulling double duty as my Shadow War Kill team. Included are samples of the three main color schemes of my Tau army. The Pathfinders in the front row are sporting the same color scheme as the Sniper Drone Team.

In the second row are the Special Operatives available to the Tau Kill team. The Ethereal is magnetized for optional Hover Drone load out. The Pathfinder's drones are also magnetized for easier storage. The last row has previously painted figures for reference.

Following is an itemization of the new color scheme by model/unit for my entire army. There are now a total of 6 color schemes, although two of them are slight variations of the Standard Uniform. The color samples below are broken down into the following categories: Armor Plates/Trim/Under Armor/Markings. Colors are GW unless other wise specified.
