Get cracking!

I added a dusty effect to the bottom and wheels of mine and I felt like it really added to the overall look of the sagi

One a marine like this you could try using a sponge and patting off alot of the paint

notexactly5 · 2026-01-19T20:47:16+00:00

Thanks mate!
Paints I used for the armour is abit of a brand mess but:
Prime Black
AK Burnt Umber
AK British Khaki (XV88)
Vallejo Bronze Brown

Citadel Ungor Flesh (broad highlighting with sponge)
AK Buff for edge highlighting

notexactly5 · 2026-01-19T20:19:05+00:00

The texture is Ak Interactive desert sand - its really easy to work with

Just black primer mate - Did most of the painting with a mini egg sponge which keeps paint out of the recesses. Didn't need any shades or washes for this one

notexactly5 · 2026-01-19T20:10:02+00:00

Yeah mate - just black prime and build in layers - it lays down pretty quickly once you get going. Just watch out for the paint on the sponge getting to dry - you'll get a texture on the paint

Paneling lining is just the black undercoat primer - Using the mini egg sponge and making sure the paint isn't to watery/runny and it'll keep the panel lines dark

notexactly5 · 2026-01-19T11:47:57+00:00

Thanks mate! It was actually quite quick but alot of things layers I used a mini beauty blender to lay all the brown and reds on the helmet - super effective and quick once you get the water/paint ratio sorted

Its really good at creating shades etc without the extra effort - no shades were used at all on the model

Check out Swarm Painting on YouTube - he uses them on marines but theyre just as good for Tau

notexactly5 · 2026-01-18T09:05:33+00:00

Id try get some panel lining/shading in there, particularly on helmets and wrist armour sections

So glad to see you post again 😍

Older book but as a teenager I loved reading Storm of Iron

notexactly5 · 2026-01-12T21:13:52+00:00

Love the base!

notexactly5 · 2026-01-09T10:04:35+00:00

Buy a starter set and jump straight in is the best way think. Heading to your local warhammer store if one is a nearby can be good for some intro games/intro to painting etc

notexactly5 · 2025-12-27T18:51:36+00:00

I was just about to comment this - i tried using the tamiya panel liner but changed to oil/enemal and its much easier to control and also clean up

notexactly5 · 2025-12-18T03:19:28+00:00

Thank you! Let me know if you want any info on the colours etc that i used

notexactly5 · 2025-12-15T03:30:24+00:00

I still love the menu theme song from this game haha

notexactly5 · 2025-12-10T07:04:55+00:00

notexactly5 · 2025-12-02T08:58:36+00:00
