Richard Kemp’s Tau Empire

THE SHORT VERSION

Richard assembles and prepares an entire Tau force before beginning its paintwork, then finishes one squad or tank at a time. His historical modelling experience influences an army deliberately marked by mud and chipped equipment rather than pristine armour. Airbrushed vehicles and extremely dilute finishing layers create a smooth desert scheme, although he stresses the care needed to avoid a lumpy deposit. The collection supplies much of the Tau strength in the accompanying battle.
