ah, neat =3

Hehee. It's obvious isn't it? x3

I think the right looks better. Underarmor (not sure if that's the right word) is better when it's dark-colored IMO.

I vote for the right one.

The left. Tan balances with blue.

right.. final answer..

The one on the right tickles my fancy a little more- not normally a big tau fan, since when they came out they stole the love that I feel the eldar was needing so bad at the time. :P

The cloth color will most likely be your undercoat so make sure whichever one meshes well with whatever you put over it, and I would make the hooves a separate color as Tau don't ware shoes (that I know of)

...You honestly think that on the battlefields of 40K the tau go barefoot?

They're not Tyranids, even Orks wear boots.

They have hooves... They cover the tops of the hooves where the flesh meets the nail (or whatever it is), but other than that yeah barefoot.

Can you back up this source with credentials? This could be anyone's render.

It varies from source to source, but this model from the codex seems to have an exposed hoove http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/mediawik.....re_Warrior.jpg as well as this one fron the DoW game http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/mediawik.....re_Warrior.jpg ...Granted their the Tau, but I just don't see how a "boot" for hooves would work... but thats just me.

A hard protective covering probably works better on hooves than soft, flexible feet. And the hooves on the model you're showing are not only the same standard model, but are obscured by basing, so, they don't really say much. The problem with all of your refs though is that none of them suggest that what you're seeing is anything more than a protector over top of the hoof beneath.

Again, I maintain until proof is given that the Tau, as the most tech-happy race in the galaxy, have some sort of protective covering. Otherwise, how the hell do they fight in vacuum or on death worlds or other environments necessitating full containment?

Otherwise, how the hell do they fight in vacuum or on death worlds or other environments necessitating full containment?

I wonder the same thing about 90% of IG, or SM scouts, or Orks, or ect...

Well, face shields are generally considered more optional than boots.

And Orks breath in vacuum because A) they're fungi and B) they think they can.

on all the official painted miniatures and artwork, the cloth/leather covers their hooves as well. That is a wicked swet rendition, though adn I'll probably make the cloth & feet match in the end....but which one's your fave so far?

I would had to say the left one... yup.

I'd go with the right, because blue and tan will work better on your vehicles than brown and blue.

New theme? You gotta be kidding me *face palms* didn't you just paint all your tau purple and silver?

Purple and Brown, and A: they've been that way for almost 2 years and B: only a handful of them were actually painted. Also, like I said, it was the same color scheme as the Cadbury chocolate company's main color scheme, so...yeah XP don't wanna be a rip-off, lol

I like the one on the left, its nice ballence of colours,
but the one on the right seems easier to do.

I like the one on the right all the colors except maybe use the hoof colors from the one on the left^^

Heheh, I did that on the comp here and it looked neat, but I found me another scheme that I like; look in my more recent submissions and you'll see it

ah okay

do you have a link

Is that the Marathon I see on his shoulder?

Nope, that's the T'au Sept Symbol, and the universal symbol of the warriors of the Fire Caste.

Huh, They look almost the same, Then again it could be perspective from how we're viewing the symbol

the Marathon logo's got a huge circle int he middle with thin "arms" on the sides, while the Tau symbol is basically two circle halves with a small dot int he top of the split.

ooooh okay XD
