My brother is collecting tau and he let me paint one. The paint job is inspired by the cover of the cities of death book (the one where the Tua are getting thier arses whomped by the Vostroyan)   |

Yah- when paints dry out, it's simply because all the water has evaporated from them. The 'paint' itself is still there, but it simply needs a little water added to it.
Also- make sure you add water to your paints before applying them. The only time you do not is when drybrushing your models, in which case you use such a small amount of paint that it's negligable.

Remember: 10 thin coats are better than 1 thick coat.

I like the way the red seems to glow on the gun, not sure whether its a camera effect or the painting, but it looks cool.
How did you do the weathering on it? black ink or did you use weathing paste
My Tau are camouflaged, desert/scrup, fields. I'll post up a few pictures when I've finished basing them =).
Desert yellow base, bleach bone and bubonic bone line camo, then catchacan green, snot green and brestel brown spot camo, followed by small ammounts of brown in that I let dry on the surface gives them a nice feel. then catchacan green fatigues with black boots and red squad identification markings/shas'ui markings
