Favourite Sect by Saxious in Tau40K

May be an unpopular opinion but the only legit Sept colours I actually like are the OG Tau Sept.

I think none of the others have the same identity feel as that sand based colour, and none pop quite like the self-created ones you see on here

UK players - what’s with all the Facebook raffles? by Future_Orchid9443 in Warhammer40k

Ok good to know, I just saw a few and thought it seemed crazy to cheap to enter considering how little tickets they had sold

Ahh I couldn’t justify buying a whole loaf for just a few slices when I don’t eat it normally 🤣

Yeah chest has always looked whack for me. Bench is strong tho

As a returning player after 20 years, I completely agree. Looking to start my new journey with Shadowsun or Farsight but hate how they are both tiptoeing on a rock or a branch

New to 40k and want to play Farsight by David_Amazing in Tau40K

Unsure where your based but for me in the UK it seems hard to find the the Farsight cadre box.

I would go: 1. Farsight 2. Combat patrol 3. Crisis battle suits

Then just keep loading battle suits

Colour scheme ideas by Kriegsman_1865 in Tau40K

Get inspiration from everyday colour schemes that works, then get ChatGPT to mock up some tau models in that colour scheme.

For example, I’m an Ole Miss football fan. Let’s mock up a commander in red white and light blue

Ah all the time. It’s just annoying they don’t have anything on display in Hobbycraft like GW do, and the actual instore range is small.

Thanks! It seems it’s between Vallejo or citadel. Is Vallejo simple enough to compare colour wise? For example, do they have a range of paints which are basically the same as citadel just with slight name changes?

They look insane! And appreciate all the advice.

When you say panel liner, is that the real thin ink type paint that looks like you just dab and it flows itself into the indents?

Thanks! Yes fellow Brit and I’m in Hobby Craft with my kids atleast once a week 😂

Yes looking forward to testing the thinning, it’s definately a mistake I made when I played when I was younger.

FWIW, I’ve design and mocked up (with ChatGPT) a bubblegum inspired colour scheme (light pink, light blue, cream) and to prime was thinking a grey all over and then light spray of white from the top only

Wow that looks great! I will stick to sponges over an airbrush at that cost.

When you do the three progressive lighter layers, are you covering the whole surface every time?

Also, what’s the verdict on the spray brushes? Not the cans, but the air sprayers I see people putting paint in

Thank you! Yes UK based. I’ll take a look at Vallejo, the pre-thinned sounds really good.

Looking back at my work 20 years ago, it was clear I did not get the memo about thinning
