Urgh 50 drones. Just saying it is hideous.
Looking good so far, but I totally don't envy you!

I basically paint the bottom black, prime/airbrush the top red, enblacken the black lines, paint the grille grey, highlight, and paint colorful stripes.
Marker drones are grey, gun drones are orange, shield drones are blue, missile drones are fabulous purple.
I need opinions. Should I make the blue brighter, and the purple purpler?

And I immediately get distracted by a massively discounted Riptide.
This is my third one. I can finally run Riptide Wing. Thankfully, I'm a believer in "just because you can, doesn't mean you should."

I think the colours need to be a bit brighter, from the photo I am struggling to see the colour difference. I can see the load-out of the drones, but the colours seem to be almost the same.
My two cents,

How bad are the drones If you just airbrush it all just one color and then lay down a second color and wash?

I don't actually own a functioning airbrush. The blacklining is a massive pain, because a wash doesn't give me the effect I want. The second color is basically just thrown on, and then I highlight the red, drone done.
Thank you, Captain Brown. I will pick up some more paint and brighten the stripes when I get the opportunity.

A spray would probably work also. I do like the investment of an airbrush cos it helps to lay down flat colours really fast. But I admit that a big brush does the same job for much cheaper
I agree that black lining is much neater than washing. And that neat look is very impt for tau

The spray is actually what I do for priming. I prime the bottom of the drone in black, and the top in red. Sadly I'm a bit strapped for cash at the moment, and I'm out of black primer, so progress has slowed.
Oh, Riptides. Mont'ka my heart every time I have one on my desk. Thanks EDC!

A minor devastating catastrophe has occured. My first Riptide broke horribly, and will be out of commission for a while. In addition, I ran out of primer!
So, I began working on my already-primed models.

Played one of the most fun games I've ever played today, against the man and legend, Peregrine.

Not exactly the sort of thing I normally do, and hardly worthy of a title change. I picked up some primer, so painting will continue. First of all, a tank.

Thanks man, looking forward to the next confrontation.
It takes forever to do the camo (it's brushed on, with some masking tape for the corners), but it looks quite striking next to some of my fire-engine red suits.
By the way, Peregrine won, 10 points to 9.
