I’ve always like red in games. If a player color option is available to choose, red is the one I grab. When first hearing of Infinity and checking out the army options, Nomads were my first choice because their stock scheme was red. I didn’t end up playing Nomads but got my chance to “choose red” when going for my T’au Kill Team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don’t play 40k or know much about the lore but I believe most T’au are not usually red as this represents a schism in the factions- a rebellious red group known as the Farsight Enclave. Whatever. They be red to me so they be my team!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cool thing about the current Kill Team game is I truly only need twenty models. The roster doesn’t really have much flexibility in it so building these twenty (really fourteen figures and six drones) gives me all the options I need when building the actual game lists. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The scheme is quite simple: prime coat in charcoal grey then base coat the armor and weapon details in red. I went for a deep dark red (khorne red) allowing me to edge highlight some details with some easy lighter red and orange. The last bits were the blue-ish skin of the T’au and picking out some finer details like the gold you see on the next figure’s gun and sword scabbard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Base coating in all that red was a little tedious but it also meant I could batch paint up all these figures quickly in a little assembly line. Knocking out these twenty went quicker than I thought when tackling a narrow task like all the head and chest armor one night, arms and weapons the next, and finally the backpack, knee pads, and remaining pieces last.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The drones got love as well and were even easier. The big saucer top took the majority of the time then it was just accenting whatever specific weapon\/tool load out they were included with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

With all the team painted, I finished the figures up with a quick dash of Agrellan Earth technical paint to create an easy cracked-earth effect for the base and the team was complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A quick slap-job of painting up the movement templates and shield walls and all of Kill Team was complete- minis, accessories, terrain, and storage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
