T'au

My T'au were the army that I got back into the hobby with back in 2017. I have around 3000 points now, though only about half are painted.

For my birthday last year my girlfriend surprised me with a trip to Warhammer World (as surprising as "we're driving to Nottingham on your birthday, I'm not telling you why" could be) and while there I decided to cave and buy a Y'Vahra. This model's rules have swung between good to great to trash and back several times, but it looks awesome and if nothing else it's hilarious to use. In April I finally finished painting it:



The base is the Riptide kit and it's a fantastic model to pose.

I'm happy with the paint scheme I went with for this army, but in retrospect white was a poor choice for my first force. The airbrush improves it immensely but it's still scheme that I burn out on regularly.

I will revisit the T'au more soon, in particular I want to paint the Kroot I have, and I'm looking forward to using it as a benchmark of how I've improved as a painter.
