Hello there!
I'm a long time miniature painter though I had a long, almost 5 year break between them and I only came back to hobby last year as a way to cope with a personal tragedy. Somehow It made me a better painted than I was before so I decided, why not go out into the world and share my creations?
I am currently more of a Kill team player (before I played the big Warhammer 40k) so now thanks to that I am paying more attention to single models rather than to the whole armies which probably made me that better painter than I was before.
For starters I would love to share with you something that I created as my own pattern technique: The Steppentarn T'au. They aren't my first models I did after the hiatus as I started with marines, but they received much attention later on when I became more confident in my abilities.
For the longer part of last year I've became a big fan of the steppentarn german camouflage pattern and decided to replicate them. Since my Marines weren't fit for this kind of camo, them being Marines, I decided that T'Au were the best suited 40k bunch to receive the camo.

This is the prototype minifig on which I first applied the techniques after developing them on a flat surface. The mini needs a change of base for a bigger one as this is a rescued model from years ago.

The intermediary miniature between the Commander and the Stealthsuit, and a proof of concept if the steppentarn techniques are applicable to the little miniatures of T'au footsoldiers. I was pleasantly surprised by the end result and in the end I think that the pattern looks best on the little ones.

And my Commander. As of now these are the only three done in this scheme and they proved to be quite a challenge.
Any comments and critiques are welcome <3
