Allright! I have posted some of my models here and there, but now I am going to try and get this updated! I am still learning to paint better and better so C&C is allways welcome! I play Tau, but collect all sort of models if they look cool!

So here are some pics from my collection so far!



Also there are some of my TAU units. I have a really weird mind, every week I like another colour scheme. This beiing a huge problem with my army, please tell me wich you like best?

I think the green paint scheme look clean

Yup, the white one could be good as well, if it was cleaner, but I´m with the green too.

As far as those mystery models, those are from the Tanith range, Gaunt´s Ghosts. Nice models.

The rough rider is nicely converted, but the grey drybrush all over him looks strange to me.
Maybe a light brown instead, to keep the highlight in the same color range, would look better?

Oh, and I sympathize most heartily with the color scheme troubles. I go through days, sometimes weeks, where I want to take all the paint off my models and redo them entirely, in a different scheme...

I´ve found that a way to get past that, is to paint all your units to an acceptable stage first. For example, three-four colors on everything. Uniform, gun, helmet and pouches for example, and main colors on tanks.

Once you have that, move on to things like shading, highlights and such.

And then, finally you can do battle damage, weathering, bases and the like.

Just some thoughts anyways. Good luck with this. Will be interesting to see where you go with it.

Hello! Thank you for responses I find it sad that so many people look and don't respond. I believe it is not just me?

However I managed to paint 1 and a halve tyranid today So the 'blue dino squad' is 3/5th done!

I also added some more pic's of my tau and kroot. And I've found an Imperial guard heavy weapon team/diorama i've made. Please C&C everything Still looking for more tips en critism.

Nice to know that even nine months into the future your stuff continues to look nice.

@ Rose_Mountainz &maart3n

Thanks for your respons, the green is my favorite to! Guess I just try to keep this one. How do you think it looks on the piranha and broadsides?

@ Xanthos


Thank you 2! Yeah this white one ain't really clean. I secretly painted it over an already painted unit.(just to see how it looks, so oops).
Also thank you very much on identity of the models. Do you know there are more of them? I really like the feel of them. Kind of a madmax, outlaw feel.

On the roughrider, you mean the horse? Yeah this was the only way I knew how to paint a horse. Fur is something that scares the hell out of me. Gonna try the lightbrown drybrush for sure!

Thanks for your kind words!

@ Aduro

Thank you for your response. Don't really know what you mean by the nine months? Care to explane?
(I guess it has something to do with your signature perhaps?

Alright, I am gonna try to update this in a few days. Got some walls to paint

Greetings from me

According to your post title, your most recent update was for October of this year.

Thanks Rose_Mountainz, If you have any suggestions for more conversions I'd be glad to hear!

So here some more pics. Just got a Emperors Champion model from my GF.

The other pic is a model made by my GF (Her first ever, cause she doesn't like the hobby to much).

Hello there!

Back again with small update!

Just some pic's of the gretchin/grot squad whith rutherd? Don't know how it's called.

Rainbow squad grots.

Allright! Hi there,

Small update here. Find it sad that there are no responses with C&C here. But going on anyway.

I just ordered an tau battleforce, so when the battleforce comes here this is going to be more like a WIP blog.

Anyway my GF gave me some pathfinders for Valentineday( yeey)

So here the update, some pics of the squad.




Automatically Appended Next Post:
O yes what I was meaning to ask to you all. My paint is getting real thick. As you can see on my models, this doesn't look really clean. I know that I need to thin my paint. But when I do this, the paint just gets to wattery(spelled wrong sorry). When it get this way it only fills in the deepest places of the model.

So my question is; How to properly thin my paints?

Thanks for your help

You have a GF that gives you models?


..

I'm glad I live in the same country as you do P= (kaaskoppen ftw )

But, I really like those gretchins, especially number 6

Keep up the good work!

Try experimenting but usually the mix depends on the paint.
Basically start with say 12 parts paint and 1 part water and go from there. What i did to get good at mixing was to read a load of tutorials.
The online magazines are really good for tutorials. Here are some i use:
