How to Paint Citadel Miniatures: Tau Empire

Citadel have released another guide on painting Citadel Miniatures, this time to coincide with the release of the Tau miniatures this one is (as you might have guessed) is about painting the Tau.

How to Paint Citadel Miniatures: Tau Empire

The valiant Fire Warriors, advanced battlesuits and sleek vehicles of the Tau Empire fight at the forefront of their great Third Sphere Expansion. In this Army Workshop, the talented Studio army painters demonstrate how to paint a varied selection of Tau Empire miniatures using the Citadel paint range. Example miniatures featured in this extensive painting guide include Commander Farsight and a mighty Riptide Battlesuit painted in the colours of the T’au Sept.

Always think it is useful to know the paints that others have used, so you can at least get a similar effect.

Assault Marines

I was given a box of the Space Marine Assault Squad by my son, after thinking about painting them as Grey Knights I decided in the end to paint them as “normal” Marines.

I glued the chainsaw arms to the models.

They still need their other arms.

Inquisitorial Stormtroopers

Here are some photographs of my Inquisitorial Stormtroopers. They are part of my Daemonhunters army for Warhammer 40K.

They have been photographed on a piece of scenery I built specially for taking photographs.

You can see how they were painted on the workbench feature on these Inquisitorial Stormtroopers.

Grey Knights

These three Grey Knights are from my own collection.

I need to do a lot more for any reinforcements, but was pleased how they turned out. You can see how they were painted on the workbench feature on these Grey Knights.

Imperial Guard Catachan Jungle Fighter Sniper

When I was planning my Daemonhunters army, I wanted a sniper. However I didn’t really like the Vindicare model, so decided to order the Imperial Guard Catachan Jungle Fighter Sniper and use that as a Vindicare Assassin with Exitus Rifle.

I have to say, when I compared the model to the Cadian Kasrkin I used for the Inquisitorial Stormtroopers I was slightly disappointed. It lacked the finesse and quality of the Kasrkin models. If I was going to start again, I would probably use the Cadian Sniper models.

Inquisitorial Stormtroopers

Here are some more photographs of my Inquisitorial Stormtroopers.

I decided when painting up my Inquisitorial Stormtroopers, to use the Cadian Kasrkin for them.

I did decide when thinking about a paint scheme, to not use the accepted traditional look for the Inquisitorial Stormtroopers and go with a desert theme.

Check out how these models were painted in the workbench feature on them.
