Learning to airbrush

So here's my first completed miniature using a lot of airbrushing.  I was going for an urban camo scheme...but my colors were all too similar so this guy wound up looking just grey.  For the next project I'll have to have more contrast.  Also tried some OSL in purple off of sensors, running lights, and the shield.  Again, this probably could use more contrast.

It was fun, and definitely a learning piece.

40K Update [Sort of...]


With the new release of the WH40K Tau Empire codex I went looking at all of my old Tau collection.  After I dusted them off (haven't played a serious 40K game in over a year), I decided to shoot pictures in my photo-booth.

Troops:



Elites:


Fast Attack:







Heavy Support:






I'm probably going to pick up the new XV-104 Riptide Battlesuits (I'm a sucker for 'suits!).  I have some assembled, but unpainted suits and vehicles around, so I think I'll be doing my new stuff in an urban paint scheme...maybe a grey digital camo pattern w/ my new airbrush.  It will of course, still have the same jade and yellow colors for trim. 

I will probably never catch up on my painting!

Thanks for looking!
