Tau Fire Warrior

[Loim]

A kid who works for me plays 40K, and was showing me a color scheme he liked. I asked if I could give i a shot on one of his minis, so he gave me this one to paint up. I tried to get a decent result while doing it as fast as possible. Counting priming and sealing I think this is about 2 hours and some change. I did a zenithal prime with Stynylrez, and all colors are RMS with the exception of Nuln Oil and Seraphim Sepia.

@Darcstaar and @Glitterwolf thanks for the kinds words.

Very nice. I like the battle-worn look.

Oooh, I like how it's a lot grittier than they usually are - like a proper, in the rough and fighting kind of look to it!

The style is apparently called "Grimdark" and there are several people putting tutorials out on it. I actually loosely followed one on YouTube for this. His looked a lot better of course :D.

Definitely great  gritty Tau. I prefer this to the clean anime look.
