The Patient Painter Contest

 The Patient Painter 

2023

The Tau Discord has two annual painting contests. In Sept'ember we have the Fist of Mont'ka but, after such an eventful spring, we thought it would be great to add another one in honor of the release of Commander Farsight.

And so was born The Patient Painter, a month long painting contest where our contestants share their work on the Discord and then submit final photos which we have below.

Things are really growing for the Tau fanbase in terms of community engagement be it on Reddit or Discord or Facebook and it is the hope of this blog to continue to intertwine those communities so that we can work together in pursuit of our shared hobby and our love of the blue xenos of the Warhamme 40,000 universe.

As a part of our growing coalition is the Puretide Program headed by Kyle Grundy who has risen to tabletop fame in recent years and now has his very own community which he uses to promote tactics and community events.

He joins us now with Z0rr0, to discuss painting, hobbying and our contestants!

I'd also like to share the work of wEstp0le who couldn't get in under the wire but has some incredible line work for his Farsight:

And if you want to go and check out some of Z0rr0's work... it's incredible as well:

Thank you so much for your participation in the painting contest, it was wonderful to watch you work and to see these models come to life. Thank you to the judges and to the community for it's continued support!
