All of the tau images I have seen online have been really clean and new-looking. I decided to take my (dark angels green mixed with a little white, with red and black detailing) tau and drybrush them with white.
Do a lot of people do this? The images I've seen look like fresh new recruits. My units look gritty, with worn out cloth and scraped, dented armor. I really like the look, like they've been in the mud and blood for months on end.
So, who here drybrushes their Tau? Do you think that they SHOULD look really clean and proper? Also, I would like to note that some units, like stealth suits, are exceptions, as they would not be shot at a lot, and so look pretty much unharmed.
