About the Project
My Tau have been languishing partly done for going on 20 years. The release of the new Farsight model made me want to finally get the army finished. They are organised by 20 years ago rules, but I'm sticking with it and they will hopefully finally be feeling loved again.

Drones for the Tiger Shark
The Tiger Shark bomber came with 14 drones. I originally painted the drones with a blue centre but staring at them on the table with everything else made me regret this choice.
So I decided to change them up.
First I tried vomit brown directly over the blue but it didn’t look right. So I went ahead and took them back to black instead.
Next I touched up the red gore and added red gore to the rim of the drone as they were all just black. I prefer the coloured edging.
Next I did the first layer of vomit brown on each drone. Then layered up until it was a nice even smooth colour.
Next I added vines to the top in Hoeth Blue.
I briefly toyed with the idea of blazing orange vines too, inspired by the pilots jumpsuits but I didn’t like how it looked on the drone, so went with just blue.
The drones are complete and back in the cabinet for now.
Two tanks of five complete!
Two Hammerheads completed & Looking lovely together 🙂

The Squad is finished at last!
I am so chuffed as they came out better than I hoped. I added extra details to the Ethereals such as an attempt at purple gems and fancy metallics.
