Hi Everyone!

Its been a while since I added to my blog on 40k and my adventures with Tau but here is a new one! I finally had a chance to sit down and completely paint and put together my first model

So Here you guys go, a Tau Firewarrior Shas'ui team leader with drone controller.

This is my first mini i've actually completed beyond practicing certain skills like paint thinning. I will need to go back and do a little touching up but I'm excited to post this before work.

Im getting better at thinning my paints but I feel I still have a ways to go. Thanks for reading, here are some pics ! :D

(also, I know the base isn't done, I need to decide what I want to do first, probably a desert/sand kind of base)

I should really post some pics of mine. After reading your blog I've painted a squad of fire warriors, and almost finished a sky ray.

Maybe not as important with Tau as with my Nids, but I've discovered it's more efficient to do in box size batches. Assemble a box, prime a box, then run through each color of paint in order.

I used to do that, but i would paint my squad leaders on their own with a bit more detail to make them stand out.

Oh, yeah. I did anything bigger than elites individually. Like I said, Nids are different, you almost have to assembly line elite and below unless you have unlimited leisure time. Try individually painting even a smallish list like stealers, back when that was viable (better known as broken), and you'd go batshit.

I ran a mostly stealer list for a while, with a Fex, HT, Lictors, and that one big badass unique stealer dude, with some cannon fodder and rippers. It was ridiculous what I did to my buddie's Tau. Lictors and Stealers would ruin their day with rending.

I never got into fantasy. Stuck with 40k. Haven't played in a while, although if I found a decent place near here, and a good chunk of cash fell into my lap to improve my list, I probably would.

Looking good, used to have a decent 40k Blood Angel army, but then it got really expensive so I stopped collecting.
