Random Update - Not much happening

Not done much lately - mainly waiting till after Christmas now.

I'm hoping that after Christmas I'll have a nice new Citadel Air-brush to play with. That should allow me to quickly base coat my outstanding Marines, Tau and Tyranids.

I'm also hoping for some other stuff - but we'll see...

I've painted up a six man Tau Fire Warrior Squad using the new (faster) paint scheme which almost matches the one that I used on the half of the army that is already complete. I also did the last Tau Pathfinder in the new scheme, and re-painted all the existing Pathfinder models with the new Orange squad markings.

I re-painted 8 Tau Gun Drones in the new colours and painted up the 3 man Tau Stealth Suit Team in mostly greys and blacks.

I built the 2 Tau Crisis Suit teams a few weeks ago specifically so I could use them in a game that had been arranged - I was pleased with their performance and might actually have won the game but the clock beat us and we had to end on Turn 4.

At some point I'll start putting up photos, but I haven't taken any yet.

In preparation for the new Tyranid codex I painted another test Termagaunt model in Dark Green/Light Green, but have not yet decided on the final scheme. I may reverse it and do Light Green body and Dark Green Armour Plates.... can't decide. I recently went into the GW store at Grimsby and saw their new store Mawlock model which was painted in a similar scheme and it looked good. Whatever I decide, it needs to be quick as there are well over 40 of them to paint!
