Default How do you mark Tau FW Teams???

Yeah, so i was thinking maybe paint bar codes on them, but another idea was to have a certain link on the leg armour painted in the sept color??? How does everyone else do it?

Bar codes look good but are easily confused on a busy battlefield 9also can be confused with bonding knife markings), they can also be fiddly to paint the same everytime whereas a coloured link is easily identifiable and very easy to do

Hope this helps

the barcode will be easy if you make a stencil
but just a colored link would be the best and easiest to seperate your teams

unless you constantly change the make up then you might want to try something temporary like stickers on the base

Coloured links are usually used to define Shas'ui.
I'd say use the barcode.
Using half lines and dots is a good way of making different combinations of markings without covering the whole pulse rifle barrel with lines.
