Default Do these three colors work together?

Mitallic copper (light brown) metallic silver and black. These colors will be on my tau fire warriors and eventually my whole army, would it work?

2 neutral colours, plus brown...in theory, of course they do

in practice...well, i'd have to see it with my own 2 eyes...beyond that, i'm not a massive fan of alrge quantities of metallics anyways...so i dunno

Still very hard to tell... looks like it works though.

Advisement: please back away the max distance and zoom in for superior pic quality.

Please. They look cool, but I can hardly make them out! Very aggravating.

From what I can see, deep blue might be a better colour for the cloth.

A bit of advice: spell check all your posts.

Sarnas,

There is a simple answer to this question....

Do you like it? either YES or NO.

I personally don't like metalic colours, but that is me. That doesn't mean it doesn't go.
