Fire Warrior Complete

Finished Tau Fire Warrior

Painting minitures is a tedius thing, at least for me right now. I'll probably get faster and better though. This is my first completed one. I didn't use Citidel's foundation paint, and as a result I had to use two coats. I think in the future I will use the foundation paints so I only have to do one coat.

The hardest part on this was the leg plates. I pretty much gave up trying to get it perfect. In the future I am going to try and paint the leg plate in one solid color then go back with a darker color to do the pattern. Otherwise its just too hard to paint the individual plates, staying in the line so to speak.

Also I am going to consider painting the peices before gluing together, but after cutting out of the sprue. I think I can be more accurate, and reach places that would be otherwise difficult to reach.
