[BFG] SG Farsight Tau Fleet

[Carrelio]

Hey everyone!

I'd really like to thank all of you for the great advice I've received from the forum over the past couple of weeks. It has been really helpful in getting my specialist games Tau fleet up and running. They turned out so well that they even got put on display at my local GW!

Unfortunately this means that the only picture I ended up getting of them before I headed off back to university is behind glass and not in the best light, so you can't really see them that well. But I still wanted to thank everyone by showing off some of my work anyways.




My fleet is themed on Farsight's Enclave, using old and rusty ships in the colour's of the famous general.
The full fleet (though only a few are currently finished and in the case) is composed of 3 Explorers, 3 Heroes, 2 Merchants, 18 Defenders, 3 Messengers, and 8 Orcas.

The red is Mephiston Red, with a Agrax earthshade wash, then a drybrush of Evil sunz scarlet, and finished with a drybrush of Troll slayer orange.
The Grey is Mechanicus standard grey, with a Nuln oil wash, and a highlight of mechanicus grey again.
The engines (shame you can't see them in the picture) are Calaban green, Warpstone glow, Moot green, and Flashgitz yellow, washed with Biel tan green.
Finally, the white sept markings are... well they are white...

I promise I will get better pictures as soon as I can (will probably be at university out of town for a few weeks but one day)! Thank you all again for the help!

Nice! I like the look you have there.

Those look awesome. I especially like seeing Tau painting in non standard baby puke yellow look (though I like that look too).  Well done on getting it into the store case!  GW stores around here are not very fond of specialist games and, depending on the manager, they may or may not even let you get a game in at the store.

Thanks guys, I'll try to get some better pictures up soon (ish...)!
