Hello!!
I started wh40k with dawn of war and then i saw the models and finally almost exactly a year ago i bought the dark vengeance set. And since no one i know plays or hardly knows the universe, i thought this would be enough. Then i got more marines, more chaos, tyranids and tau and its been a year of painting almost non stop, as non stop as a full time job allows.
Stalking all the videos, forums, images, art theory webpages, everything i can think of i think im progressing.
So the story of this army goes as i was trying for my own paint scheme for the tau. I came up with the regular scheme and my girlfriend says it looked good, very "gay vintage" NO OFFENSE to anyone, we think you like someone (male or female) and thats it, so please dont go the wrong way on it. Anyways, i thought, yea that sounds cool, and somehow the magenta+turquois (or however you spell it, english is 2nd languaje) got me there and i thought gay people are very strong and so i decided this tau would be so battle hardened, so much fight that only maintaining the weaponry on top condition would be enough. And this is the story of the first time i do weathered. I didnt want to do rust because i decided tau alloys or whatever dont rust.
The first attempt went on the broadsides, then the riptide went heavy on it, and the infantry, i "converted" a cadre fireblade. PLEASE some advice? I still have another battleforce to go
