- Let's get this Warhammer 40k Tau Commander looking fantastic with some clever speed painting and a little colour theory. Plus, OSL style bold environmental lighting, and the fastest rusty weathering you ever did see!

Clearly I was using my vortex mixer in that first shot >_
when you turn the model around after the first few coats of yellow, it hit me right in the face how much of miniatures painting is about light
Yeeeeeeeeeessssssss! Everything is light. I’m going to make a ponce-y video about it 😁
Very nice! I loved the blue shadows you added right at the end.
Thank you! 😊 Always good to take a look at your overall contrast towards the end of a paint job and adjust if you need to :)
Gorgeous!
Thank you!
Timely. I just finished building my commander.
Nice! Good luck with the painting!
Great video. I'm one of those people that is really intimitated by white, especially over such a large area. This looks like a helpful way to paint those
Really pleased to hear that! Good luck with your next white project :D
I heard next video is: "how to paint 2000 points of Tau in one weekend?" ;)
Great video as always!
Haha -- I didn't necessarily say a *2k* army :P
I've just found this channel and your videos are incredible. You're so bold with colour - I often think you're done and then you just start spraying it some other colour!
I'm trying to work out how to apply your underpainting / colour theory / lighting lessons to some khaki-robed and rusty jungle admech. Purple would be the biggest possible contrast, so makes sense to use that for eyes/lenses/weapon glows, but should I also underpaint with purple? Or underpaint with green to indicate the light reflecting off green plants around them? Any suggestions?
Hi Tom, thanks so much for the words of encouragement!
Love the idea of a rusty jungle ad-mech force -- I have a long-planned project of rusty jungle Tau myself, but too many Eldar to get through right now!. The underpainting series is really just my diary of experiments, so I'd be remiss if I said 'this will definitely work!'. What I would say though is a) find reference images, preferably illustrations rather than photos or other minis (really try and stay away from other minis!) Looking at illustrations is a massive education for us mini painters -- see what colour a good illustrator uses in their shadows for jungle machine monster things, and reverse engineer that for your mini. And b) play! Stripping minis is not that hard, and worth the time to find the exact right combo if you're planning on doing a whole army. So pick up an extra big jar, some isopropyl alcohol and 5 troops types minis, and try 5 different combos. Keep the one you like and strip the rest!
OK, but if you really just want to know what I would try, it'd maybe be a purple base coat, phthalocyanine green ink over that, then opaque khaki over that, leaving the undersides and deep shadows in the purple/green mix. How you build your highlights would really depend on what khaki you're going for -- khaki is a pretty undefined colour.
Hope that makes sense and maybe helps somehow! :D
@@GRGMiniatures thank you so much for your thoughts! Those are both great ideas. I will experiment with a few different schemes on some skitarii vanguard and be sure to tag you on instagram so you can see the results :)
Hey how would you panel line/wash this white? Paynes grey (blue black) or more like a darker blue grey?
Paynes Grey would definitely look good!
