No witty thread name today, sorry.
Dunno why I never stuck anything up here before, but let's kick this off with... well, a story.
On monday, i was dorking around with some MDF terrain that i picked up off the net. I made a hash of assembly by doing some sanding when I really really didn't need to, so I spent some time airbrushing over all the nasty gouges and scratches to make them look like weathering and damage.
Around 8:30pm, I suddenly remembered that I had signed up for the Force Z tournament this weekend, that I had not submitted a list or even given it any thought. Cue panic, and a frantic 45 minutes where I looked at my minis and threw together a list, using Tau since I felt I had a better chance of fielding painted models that way.
My list is low on miniatures, and some of them are already painted (from like, a year ago, when I was a totally newbish amateur and didn't know what I was doing), giving me a colour scheme to work from. But there was still a lot of stuff that was still grey. Like... 5 crisis suits, some characters, and a couple of drones and gunships.
So I grabbed my airbrush (which im also not much good with), and got started.
Quality isnt so great really, but given the timeframe I have to work with, "good enough" will just have to do.
