I must say, doing tanks has always got under my skin. It might be because I have an IG army and doing tanks is a given. If he has a quick way of doing them I might just follow his tips as a standard.

Thanks for the kind words guys. This particular tutorial isn’t a speed technique I’m afraid Manpug. This is more of a general how to paint the Tau colour scheme but with the Pirahna used for the example. For me when doing quick vehichles I tend to use as many aerosols as possible and then a really big drybrush because I’m a savage 🙂
