Hey all. As you can tell from the post count, I'm new to TO, and in fact I'm new to miniature wargaming as well. I used to do scale modeling when I was a kid, and for the last 20 years I've been wanting to get back into it. Finally have a stable career and the money to invest in the hobby, so I figured I'd start out with miniatures to get the hang of painting. Now I'm hooked on the hobby side of things, and haven't even played a game yet.
I chose Tau because the models really struck me as something I wanted to assemble and paint. I painted a few Skaven for practice, and then a random miniature that my friend had lying around. I feel more or less comfortable enough with the painting end of things now to move on to my precious Tau--if I can only decide on a color scheme! I've been spending the slow nights at work looking at every 40k site I can for inspiration and ideas. Unfortunately (or fortunately), one side effect of looking at all these cool things that the pros have done is wanting to try them myself. ![]() So as the title says, be prepared for lots of questions from the newbie as they come up. ![]() |

Heh. Mine goes back about 12 years to the handle I was using on a BBS at the time--Catspaw. We all knew each other in person, and because there were two people in our group who had the same real name as me, we all called each other by nicknames based on our handles--mine was quickly whittled down to the diminuitive of "Catsy". It stuck.
And regarding the random miniature I painted, I just put up pictures of it in the Showcase forum. Apologies if that's not the right place, please let me know. |

Regarding your minature, the Showcase board is the place to put images of your models so you can showcase them to any who might want to view them.

Welcome aboard Casty! Be sure to read the Forum Rules and enjoy your stay!
All your questions via Tau will be answered of course, and all your painting needs can be taken care of in the Painting board and Showcase boards. I actually have a handy website tool for colors that I'll send to you via PM, so keep an eye out for it. It gives you a Firewarrior and lets you put whatever color you want on the various bits of him to give you ideas of how it will look on the battlefield while you paint. Great tool and it helped me a lot for deciding my own scheme. So stop by the Tau and Painting/Showcase boards and you'll get tons of help! See you there! --Mal
