The first thing that I've done differently than the other models from my friend's army, is that I didn't strip the paint off this model. It was mostly still black, so I decided to just go along with it as if that were my base coat.
I decided to go with a cross between the Fire Warrior and vehicle paint schemes I had already outlined. The overall look of the Fire warrior is the primary aspect I want to go for... black base, with dark "boots," digital camouflage armor, yellow markings, and red lenses/lights/etc. But, the battlesuits are a median of sorts between the infantry and the vehicles, so I wanted to carry over something from what I had outlined on the devilfish as well. As you can see in earlier pictures on this blog, the plates down the center of the vehicle forgo the digi-camo treatment for a solid color. I decided this would be the perfect element to bring over for the Crisis 'suits. I also decided to use the color surrounding the Devilfish's engine intake on the 'suits as well.
Time for some visual conformation of what I am doing. Here is a picture of what I started last night.
As you can see, I am working my way up the battlesuit from its feet. I styled it just like the Fire Warrior. You can also see where I outlined the chest with the solid color application down the center. Once the digital pattern surrounds it, I believe it will be a good transition between the Fire Warriors and the Tau vehicles in my cadre.
I will report back when I've finished the Battlesuit and upload some pics as well!
