Sorry About the bad pictures.

And I know it's almost impossible for it to happen according to the fluff.

From what I can see in your picture it looks great, and who cares about the fluff, if you are willing to spend the kind of money it takes to play 40k these days you paint it how you want it man.

Thanks, that's really nice of you to say.

Y'know I like to build fluffy armies but here's the thing with gw fluff, they change it so often you can never really count on it to mean anything. I mean by the fluff space wolves can't fall to the taint of chaos but then with the Red Corsairs fluff some did even betraying their brethren to do so. So if anyone gives you grief say it's an army of dead tau that were reanimated by Papa Nurgle.

What a cracking idea really nicely executed. Take great pleasure in seeing those snotty Tau being filthied up a bit!!! Good job

Are all of the models on your blog airbrushed? And is it hard to airbrush? Also I want to start airbrushing is there a special type of airbrush for painting models? And is there a special type of paint?

Most of the models are airbrushed. The ones that are not are the "speed painted" ones I did. An airbrush is a fantastic tool for modeling. I and most people would recommend a gravity feed airbrush, with a needle between 0.5mm down to 0.2mm. They have different applications. I personally use Badger Airbrushes. I have a Patriot 105 and a Renegade Khrome. The Patriot is my workhorse. Its what I use for priming, base coats, shooting varnish etc. The Khrome is my detail brush. Paints are a debate themselves. I shoot everything from P3, GW, Vallejo Model Air, Model Color, Game Air, Game Color. inks, etc its all about thinning and psi. Iwata makes great brushes too, as well as Harder and Steinbeck. Look to see what is in your budget and just as importantly how that brushes parts availability is in you area. Just keep in mind it will not replace your hair brushes, You will still need them.

Here is another WIP Nurgle Tau.
