Hail to the mighty airbrush! great stuff, I love the red markings ( Tau runes?) and the whole grand canyon thing going on in the background. I ought to make some terrain so I can take cooler pictures.

Take the mould lines off its head. :D
Then paint the armour up in the same shades as your other Tau. Use some washes and drybrushing for the fur. You must have had some idea how you wanted them to look before you bought them.

Prepainted companies never do. It would cost far too much to have a guy sitting there doing that all day. I have the same problems with my D and D minis.
