I'm a novice painter, trying to improve and get to know different techniques. I aim for a balance between effiency and looks, as I mostly want to play with my painted dudes. I'm working on a Tau army, red and black Farsight Enclaves scheme. Infantry will be red and suits will be TMM to stand out. I mainly write the recipes down to remember them myself.
