My first battlesuit is done and dusted and I am suitably chuffed. The mini inspired a wee bit of fluff, primarily why in a snowy cityscape the Tau have chosen to fight in red armour. The colour scheme was taken from the army book and is labeled as D’yanoi, who the background state are regarded as somewhat backward due to being cut off from the empire for a long period. Thusly, this is what I came up with; The seperation from the empire has led to this force dropping the use of camo altogether, and using the blue sept markings more like the tribal markings used by the fire caste in the past to show their “hunting” skill. On this suit there wont be as many sept markings, but going to go to town the higher the rank :D.
