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.

That's the main reason I have all of one squad painted from my entire army. Hunching over a detailed model for long periods of time + scolioscis = nrgh.

I play Chaos, if I hadn't mentioned, and their models are covered in intricate little details that just beg to be picked out.

Yeah, the 40k minis are slightly smaller than the d20 minis we painted before.

Of which I'm debating breaking those minis out again for the d20 game(s) I'm running. Just don't know if people would be up for doing that or if they would prefer to be 'that 6-sider there'. *chuckle*

But if we do then maybe we could do a 'paint night' like we did once many years ago.
