Roger Ortiz Progress Report #1: Call to arms mad dash!
Tau was the first warhammer army so I had some older models that that I wanted to strip and repaint making this call to arms a perfect excuse to do so. I decided just to paint as much of my army I can then make a 1k point list at the end.
First I bought some new models like the riptide and a box of pathfinders. Then I stripped all the older models before I primed everything at once. I'm planning on painting my tau with the sa'cea sept color scheme (blue and orange). To try to speed things up I tried out the army builder crystal blue but I really didn't like how bright the models turned out. So I called up my buddy Juston and he made a really nice custom blue color mixing the Vallejo paints in the pictures. All the models got primed white and then base coated with the blue using an airbrus in the past couple of weeks I've only finished 2 full fire warrior units and now I'm working on the pathfinders. I should've painted a little more but I've been distracted with other games. Now it's a mad dash to finish, wish me luck!
Roger Ortiz Progress Report #2: It's a wrap!
Last week I finally finished panting 24 fire warriors and 16 pathfinders. This week I worked on making and painting the bases. I used 3/32 cork and a bit medium basing grit. Airbrushed then all with a dark brown so the models would "pop".
After I was done with the bases I started working on painting the hammerhead and the riptide. I tried doing a camo pattern using a stencil I made but I'm not sure if I'm happy with it yet.
Well I think this will be my last update because by the time I have new stuff painted it'll be saturday lol see you guys there!
