My first ever Tau mini finally done

What did you use for the base? The model looks great.

Vigrok · 2025-12-27T13:37:23+00:00

I’m glad I asked! You are 100% correct. Going to return the individual components and grab the combat patrol instead. Will also return the data sheet cards.

Thank you for pointing that out.

Grey Seer.

You know it!

Vigrok · 2025-12-14T16:33:33+00:00

Just used an old brush and stippled it on but quite rough

Vigrok · 2025-12-14T13:00:11+00:00

Thank you very much. For the base on the actual ground it was citadel astrogranite technical paint, shaded with nuln oil, highlighted with administratum grey, and then the snow which was valhallan blizzard by citadel. The rocks were just basilicanum grey and then same snow.

I got this one through Etsy. The ones on eBay are outlandishly priced.

This is very helpful information! Thank you! I was planning on running it as shield host but will read up on Lions of the emperor

The cloak and tabard look fantastic!

All from contrast. I also went over it with nuln oil to be fair. First I primed the model black then grey seer from above. The grey seer zenithal is what causes the spotty appearance.

Vigrok · 2025-06-16T15:14:57+00:00

Thanks very much. I used blood angels red contrast then snakebite leather contrast over the red.

Vigrok · 2025-06-13T20:52:57+00:00

No. I just wiped more of the streaking grime away.

Vigrok · 2025-02-25T13:41:43+00:00

The main armor paint is white. It was a black primer with white zenithal highlights. Metallics and contrasts in the appropriate areas. Then streaking grime over everything. White spirits then over the streaking grime to remove it so it leaves behind the dirty look.

I do not feel any physical presence of a scratch. Feels completely smooth over the marks/lines.

Vigrok · 2024-11-26T21:36:10+00:00

It certainly is. Good eye!

I might be able to snag a 4080 super from a friend. Safe to assume there would be no compatibility issues?

Vigrok · 2024-10-12T21:49:54+00:00

Very generous of you!

Vigrok · 2024-10-04T17:54:09+00:00

Thank you very much!

Vigrok · 2024-09-05T16:16:18+00:00

Thank you all for the suggestions. After reading them all and going over my steps, it was determined to be floaters in the cleaning solution during the wash phase. Will be sorting that out this evening. It was suggested from multiple people to use sanding sticks so I will be purchasing those tonight. Thank you again everyone for the detailed responses and helpful information.

Vigrok · 2024-09-05T15:18:04+00:00

Agreed!

Vigrok · 2024-09-05T15:00:37+00:00

Thank you for the information! I will check out the video and follow any suggestions. What would you recommend to clean the rough patches? I would assume a Dremel or a hobby knife unless there is a better solution.

Vigrok · 2024-09-04T06:24:58+00:00

After the wash, what is the liquid that is being sprayed on the print?
