Tzen Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 My son and I have started playing games of 40k together, and he decided his army is going to be T'au. I am not a huge fan of the T'au range of models, nothing specifically wrong with them, but never appealed to me to paint them. However I was surprised with this Ethereal test model, it was quick and quite fun to paint! Currently working on some path finders as the first squad, it's slow work, but I plan on working on his army on and off mixed into my own projects!

Marshal Reinhard Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Even vile, foul and disgusting xenos such as these must be enjoyable to paint when you can bring such talent to bear through your brushes! Hope you have fun engagements with your son, though I pray to the Emperor that you squash him ;) Tzen 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzen Posted July 18, 2022 Author Share Posted July 18, 2022 I have finished my son's first squad for his T'au army. And a drone to go alongside it. He has affectionately called it "Reek". Which is, you know, nice. MithrilForge, CaptainFrederickson, Rockybaerboa and 11 others 14 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan the Lurker Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Fantastic. What browns are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzen Posted July 19, 2022 Author Share Posted July 19, 2022 Steel Legion Drab, tallarn sand and then karak stone. I am shading the recesses with Rhinox Hide. I honestly find the colour scheme " weird". But my lad picked it out, so just doing what I am told! :D Dr_Ruminahui, MithrilForge and Kurgan the Lurker 1 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MithrilForge Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 It's actually a Nice colour choice, well done to the lad . I have painted a fair few of the Blue boys and I quite like your sons take on them (and also your painting of course ) Look forward to reading some bat reps between you and the son in the future!. Cheers, Mithril Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzen Posted September 3, 2022 Author Share Posted September 3, 2022 He mostly wins. There isn't much to report. I am not great at the game >.< I have completed another miniature for his army. Odd model this, why does he have a sheathed knife raised into the sky? There have been some odd poses in many a wargaming miniature, but this is very weird.

MithrilForge Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 well it is a ceremonial bonding Knife, perhaps he's rallying his Unit with their "Bond" ... great work as always bud, it's just as well that your son beats you We are supposed to raise them to be better than we are ... I look forward to seeing his painting one day! Cheers, Mithril Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzen Posted September 9, 2022 Author Share Posted September 9, 2022 I am not sure he will be taking to the painting table at all really, has shown zero desire to do it. Which means the task of painting his army falls to me. Anyway, work continues. He had this pre built crisis suit donated to him by his uncle, so decided to paint it up, so that it doesn't languish on the pile of shame. The weapons are magnetised, which is not something I personally like to do, but it did help with the painting side of things!
