I need help with coming with a simple yet effective tau scheme. I can paint to a high level but I'm not very patient and have a lot of models to paint. I'm looking for a scheme that has the has the following (probably dark)

Prime
1 base coat
1 wash
1 drybrush (weathering) I like heavy weathering and have managed to get a old synthetic brush to the perfect stage to do this
1 set of highlights
Red eye and weapon lights
Done

I have tried to paint a jungle scheme but I was taking 4-5 hours per model and I only get 4-5 a week to paint if I'm lucky. I have tried tau sept but painting the multiple layers of tau ochre and ensuring the rivets are still dark is very time consuming.

I'm not opposed to any colours other than blues and I]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527570/5627128.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527570/5627128.page GMT Need help with a simple yet effective tau scheme http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527570/5627205.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527570/5627205.page GMT Need help with a simple yet effective tau scheme

I agree, the price is too much for me when I am really on the fence about whether or not I will like it... but it is fast...

On a separate note, I really tip my hat to Tau army painters... Painting models that are supposed to appear really clean has got to be a big challenge... ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527570/5627441.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/527570/5627441.page GMT Need help with a simple yet effective tau scheme
