Fun Tips: Easy (well relatively) none metalic metal for weapons!

So, recently I have been playing around with NMM and have found a simple way to do it, here are the steps a proper tutorial will come soon:
  1. paint the weapon codex grey
  2. water down heavily codex grey and fortress grey and mix them together in a codex, fortress, water 4:1:5 mix, wash this over the lighter part of the blade
  3. add a little more fortress and a little more water then wash this over the lighter part of the blade leaving a little of the last layer showing.
  4. continue doing the last step until using about a 4:6:10 mix the clean your palette.
  5. Highlight the top of the blade edge pure skull white (or for dull weapon pure fortress grey)
  6. Mix badab black and codex grey and water in a 3:1:2 mix and wash it over the dark part of the blade.
  7. keep adding more badab black and more water like before using the same method.
  8. wash the whole blade with heavily watered down codex grey like a 1:10 grey to water mix
For a better coverage use paint thinner instead of water.

I hope this helps, thanks for reading, 

Jacob.

Fluff/fun tips: Where the word Tau comes from and an interesting discussion.

I was going to do another collect up thingy but I couldn't think of anything. I found this interesting discussion though. Link below:

Hive mind Vs Eye of Terror.

Thanks for reading,

Also I found out that Tau is the 19th letter of the greek alphabet.

Fun tips: Kislev, not an origonal idea? It's Jewish!

Sorry for not posting for a while but I have been busey, I am getting some blue colours, I have got my games day mini and tickets, I have started undercoated my warshrine, started paint my BSB, I have built my disk sorc/lord and I am writing a story about the Imperial Guard army I will be getting, it will be called the Valjeron 617th. Anyway, on with the real bit of info!

I know that GW steals ideas from all sorts of places but I found out where the Empire town Kislev comes from: It's the 3rd letter in the Jewish alphabet, if anybody has any ideas why it is jewish then tell me.

Thanks for reading.
