Showcase: Tau Starter Army

After a recent influx of new players at our gaming club, it was inevitable that we would find some who, whilst enjoying the game, wouldn't be too enthusiastic about painting minis. This lead to me picking up a small, low level commission of a tau starter army and, after finishing it recently, i decided to share it on here.

Overall i went for a bright, simple and cohesive scheme across the whole force. With a palette of only 7 colours including the bases (blue, brown, black, gold, red, tan and light grey), the army has a clean and uniform look which allows it to stand out look impressive, even if each individual model is nothing special on it's own.

As aforementioned, each model really isn't a masterpiece, however i did put quite some work into posing the battlesuits. I tried to give them some height using the rocks so that they tower over the fire warriors and stand out from the rest of the army. 

There really isn't much more to say about an army that consists of 3 battlesuits, 10 fire warriors, an ethereal and some drones so I'm just going to leave a few pictures here and let the models speak for themselves.

Thanks for looking!
