Those are utterly gorgeous.

Mind posting a painting and color guide? And maybe some closeups?

Thanks!

Close up for the Custodian can be found in the Gothicomp submission thread. Maybe I'll add some more later....

Painting guide:
The scheme isn't complicated, just white is such a ****.

Hull: Undercoated white (standard GW spray !)
lines: black ink
'light blue parts' (like bridge): space wolves grey highlighted with very very watered down skull white.
Engines, turrets & stubs: shadow grey with codex grey highlight
'dark blue parts' (like Tau symbol): regal blue, edges painted mithril silver, highlighted with enchanted blue.
Other dark blue parts had no silver involved.

Varnish: glossy! This gives a real good effect, photo doesn't show it. But it gives the white a metallic effect.

For some weird reasons I always thought that tau equipment (including space ships) would be plastic polymers, not metal. Weird. You just reminded me about that.

Cheers,

Xavi

Varnish: glossy! This gives a real good effect, photo doesn't show it. But it gives the white a shining plastic polymer effect.
