First 40k model i ever bought was a broadside, i coincidentally painted it in farsight enclave colors. Now my army is painted in a sky blue, white and ghost green style that im loving. I refuse to repaint my old broadside closest i do is add rust to her, this old girl has 1 shotted more tanks than it has every right to lol But im into the army because they love range and battlesuits are amazing.
Came for the Giant Robots, stayed for the history lessons... and fish puns. Like shooting fish in a barrel. You've done it again! The weathering and battle damage on this Tau Riptide Battlesuit looks great! I really love the borrowed effect of the clear plastic sections to attach the scanning drones to the riptide. The finished look was incredible! Well done, Mike!
I just got some tau pathfinders, spent a whole evening trying to get the crevices looking right, realized that the uneven base coat was working against me. I dont what it is, but an uneven white base, especially when it's not the same shade of white that you're actually using, is an ugly, hard to deal with thing. Then i made some mistakes with my application of shade etc, etc. Basically i just need to drop them in an alcohol bath and start over, knowing now what i didnt, but your guide is going to help a lot, thank you for it!
Don’t worry I have those days as well 😀 each time we sit down to paint we learn something new and our process becomes a little smoother. Looking forward to hearing how you go with the pathfinders. 👍
Absolutely fabulous work, as someone who prides themselves on their basing I think you went all out on this and it turned out lovely, the battlesuit is spectacular as well
@@flashingbadgerpainting Wasnt expecting you to respond to my comment but it is my pleasure. For me, models should tell a story if you want them to be your best and all the elements have to be right. Having Knights as one of my armies taught me this. The elements you put into that base are stellar. I definitely encourage trying out weathering products instead of just paint but your work with a brush is amazing. Sorry for the long comments. 😆
I painted one Riptide years ago when I played Tau. It looked... okay. I sold all my 40k stuff years ago but I did end up finding a baggie with about 5 Firewarriors. I might try these techniques on them just for fun.
As a Tau player, just wanted to answer by saying the whole reason I got them was because Giant Space Robots??? Since their first release they've had some great lore and characters added to them. Love the paint job, and the worn and torn feel to it.
Thanks for stopping by and letting me know 😀 I’m glad I painted the model, it’s given me an appreciation for Tau and in a hobby that reminds me of my youth, giant space robots are right at home 👍
Yo man, I absolutely love your videos! I reached out to your channel after seeing how expensive citadel paints are for a beginner like me, I’m starting my thousand sons army, but I still can’t seem to find a proper tutorial on Ahriman with army paints.
Hey! Thanks so much for the kind words and I’m excited to hear that you are diving in to Thousand Sons. Fun army to paint and play. I have a guide up on how to paint thousand sons using Army Painter paints which you can use for Ahriman. Let me know if that helps 👍
Haha thanks 😀 and thanks for letting me know that you’re keen on more. It was great fun to paint and whilst I don’t collect Tau, I learnt a lot from having a go and I’m sure it will look cool on my shelf. 👍 I’m tipping you collect Tau? What’s your paint scheme like?
Haha thanks 😀 you don’t need to buy any minis, you can live through me every 2 weeks and I’ll do the painting and you put your feet up 😅 new video in a couple of hours by the way 👀
Tolle Bemalung, tolle Effekte, schönes Base von der Gestaltung. Der Bau und das nicht entfernen von Gußgrade, fehlendes verschleifen der Teile führen nach der Bemalung zu einem nicht sehr anschaulichen Modell. Für den Hausgebrauch ganz Okay, für eine Zuschaustellung eher ungeeignet. Hätte man mehr Zeit und Mühe investiert, wäre es ein tolles Modell gewesen. Wenn man bedenkt was die Modelle kosten, ist es schade das man nur schnell schnell macht. Schade.
Hey thanks for the feedback. Yep I’m not quite at that level to turn out incredible models and am instead very much that ‘home use’ kind of hobbyist. I just like documenting the journey for others 👍

The Crisis suits and Broadsides are where the army thrives but it was the Stormsurge model that had me pick T'au Empire for my first 40k army
Oh nice. Makes sense, that’s a beautiful model 😀
I love the work on Drone and the scan effect... very interesting and an idea that i will borrow 😊😊😊
Awesome! Thanks so much and let me know how you go with it 👍
This is by far your funniest episode
Wynoda rider bread has been topped
Hahaha! Thanks 😀
Those scanner drones are such an awesome touch!!! It looks great, I’m sure it will be loved!
Hey thanks so much for the feedback 😀 yeah they came out just as I had hoped
Disgustingly good paint job 💪
From the Tau Master himself 😀🤌 Thanks Max!
You know, the M'arl'bor'o sept color scheme looks really good. If ou already painted your army as Vior'la, this wouldn't stick out too much
😅 thanks!

Cool! I love that you’ve kept that model in the original style 😀

Beautiful miniature again. And you make it look so easy and casual. Great content as always
Hey thanks Peanut 😀 you’ve made my day 😎

Rad. Great production and fun commentary.
Hey thanks so much 😀
Hello gain. Have thought about a tau army that mainly consists of kroot recently, and this has brought that thought to the front of my mind again…🎉
Welcome back 😅
This is a great video. Primo tips for anyone wanting to paint Tau and some terrible fish jokes mixed in.
🤣😆
Thanks!
Wow thanks Rafael! Glad you enjoyed this video

Absolutely 😀 you’re welcome to jump in our discord and show off your models as you go and chat about the journey if you’d like 👍

@@flashingbadgerpaintingalso it seems I can only find abyssal blue in the fanatic set :(
Optimus Brine had me in stitches 😂😂
🤣
Do more Tau please, there really isn't much rep on TH-cam for painting them, and sure the fish references are funny!
Haha thanks 😀 and thanks for letting me know that you’re keen on more. It was great fun to paint and whilst I don’t collect Tau, I learnt a lot from having a go and I’m sure it will look cool on my shelf. 👍

This mech looks like it's been there for a long time, each scar tells a story . This looks amazing , you ever think of getting into gunpla?
Thanks! Yep I wanted the mech to look like it had been through an epic battle. I’d certainly consider Gunpla as a new challenge 😀
I see you have fallen foul to the continuity haircut! It features a lot in my videos but I don't keep saying 'hairbrush' 😂
🤣 I’ve also had it with my beard. One minute I’m clean shaven and the next I have the whole cast away thing going on.
Wilson!
🤣@@flashingbadgerpainting
Ah you're the Aaron Nace (Phlearn) of modelling!
Nice mech! I mustn't buy anything else!
Haha thanks 😀 you don’t need to buy any minis, you can live through me every 2 weeks and I’ll do the painting and you put your feet up 😅 new video in a couple of hours by the way 👀
