After unexpectedly acquiring some second hand Tau models recently I decided to have a go at painting them. Firstly to take a break from the Space Wolves and Shaltari projects i've been working on and secondly i've never actually painted any Tau models before...
The main reason for this is the clean, bright aesthetic of the GW studio Tau has never really worked for me, it just doesn't feel 'Grim Dark'. So I decided to paint some dirty, battle worn Tau as a test to see if i'd like to paint a whole army...
