So I'm painting my first minis in over 3 years as I begin work on my Tau Fire Warriors.

I forgot how stiff being bent over a fig makes my back. Oof.

I'm also busy re-learning my paint:water ratios and how to do fine details, since I think 40k figs are at a slightly smaller scale than the last minis I painted.

For Kroot, drybrushing is your friend. For Tau too, sometimes. That and washes to bring out the grooves in the armor for Tau.

Always very nervous about doing washes, as I worry that they'll upset the flats.

On the other hand, drybrushing I'm good with.
