Until I get that all written up, I do have the techniques written down for a blue color scheme.<br /><br />http://40khobbyblog.blogspot.com/2014/04/tutorial-ultramarines-with-color.html<br /><br />I think the pin wash was the next step for your tau (if I am remembering properly)<br /><br />1) satin varnish the models using krylon spray paint. Let that set for a few hours.<br /><br />Using AK-Interactive dark brown for green vehicles (that would work with your red) thin it a bit with AK-White spirit, and then using a synthetic brush (cheap) touch the brush to each piece of detail. This is a pin wash, so only let the tip of the brush touch, and let the oil do all of the work. <br /><br />Let the wash dry a bit till it is tacky. Then using a clean brush dampened with white spirit, you can erase all of the excess wash, or drips etc. <br /><br />Seal the model with matte varnish. I use vallejo's matte varnish through an airbrush.<br /><br />Once all that is done, I would use oils to add streaking effects on the tanks/suits. Oil is easy to push and pull around.<br /><br /><br />If you have a blog, I'll follow along and see how the progress goes.John Stieninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01860350974000948346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2896607568583881271.post-23005311858502362072014-09-05T19:28:27.592-07:002014-09-05T19:28:27.592-07:00I look forward to a rematch.

I was actually hoping to play against you in the Narrative, but didn't get the chance. <br />Your blog is awesome and I love coming here to check out the great pictures. It is, for me, like looking at the official pictures in a codex. Gets me excited to paint my models. <br /><br />Maybe next year my Ultramarines and your Wolves will face off :-)<br /><br />---CassidyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2896607568583881271.post-22551440869435708152014-09-02T20:13:54.826-07:002014-09-02T20:13:54.826-07:00Congratulations man! well-deserved.
