Doing a theme army for my tau, from one of my favorite shows when I was a kid. There is no grey ink but I find a drop of adeptus battlegrey to about 50 drops of water gives a nice runny inkey grey that fills in the gaps, as well as tones down the white primer to a murky dirty white, which can also just be highlighted by straight white. I linked my inspirations in my previous thread as well as where I got the conversion idea, so unless theres a request leaving it out.

This is the most I have painted in a few short days, and the simple colorscheme that looks good with minimal work is motivating me to actually finish an army. Again not tournament quality, but I have a bunch of "tourney quality" paintjobs in my other armies that discourage me from finishing them, so nuts to that. I have a broadside and 10 more fire warriors in my collection, after that its time to buy some more models.

White is so hard to paint, this looks quite good in my opinion. I LOVE the battle damage on the vehicles, really looks nice especially on white like that.

Thats the beauty of the grey ink, it just dulls the white, and fills in the detail, so it looks grimey, gives detail, allows you to highlight straight white, and is stupid fast when compared to normally painting white.
