As someone who is still new to edge highlighting, I super appreciate your definitions of "chunky" vs "fine". It made me far more confident in just how much I should add, and really changed my models look!
That’s fantastic. Glad I could help 😁 you can only get better from here 💪🏻
I'm a Gundam fan and a newcomer to Warhammer 40k. I have to say, besides the human faction, the Tau are cool as well. love your videos ❤️
Welcome to the hobby. 😁
@@TableTopReadyUA-cam thanks 😊
Glad to see you're getting sponsorship now mate, great to see your channel growing from strength to strength
Thank you. I’m glad your still around watching, it means a lot
I find this channel so helpful, these are the most easy to follow but detailed tutorials on youtube.
I’m glad. Thank you 😊
these videos are pretty calming in a way, and your smile is really charming, thank you.😊🙂🙂
Awww shucks. Thank you ☺️
Incredible as expected. Congrats on the sponsorship too! I would LOVE to see you tackle a larger model like a dreadnought or a repulsor executioner or even a Leman Russ battle tank, as I’d like to know if they take a slightly different skill set or not when painting (but I appreciate they are a lot more expensive!). Keep up the spectacular work buddy!
thank you, I was really happy when they asked, I'm a huge fan of skillshare and I've been using it for a while now. I'm planning on painting the new Rogal Dorn tank as soon as it comes out, I'm itching to paint it
Looks fantastic. Even though I’m not painting this miniature, I’m still learning combos for other terrain I’m working on just now. Thanks for the help 👌🏻
ooo nice, I'm glad your still able to get some techniques from this tutorial. if your painting the Tau terrain then this works just as well for it :)
Wow, 10 months ago I commented on your solar watch video that if you ever did a vior'la scheme you'd have covered all my armies and here you are!
I have done what I was asked 🙏🏻 only took 10 months then haha. Maybe get in another request now for next year 😋
The difference the edge highlights make is insane, thanks for another great video
No bother. This commander was a task to paint. One of my favourites though and worth the full week painting it 🤭
One of he best tutorial videos I have seen in a long time, subscribed
Oh .. thank you 😃 welcome to the channel.
Fantastic tutorial, will certainly be following this for my battlesuits moving forwards.
Thank you. I’m glad I’ve been able to help you get your own tau painted 😃
Absolutely loved this tutorial. I will use this technique to paint commander shadowsun one day.
Shadow sun was the originally plan for this tutorial but I opted for the commander as it’s more general
Wow, it looks amazing! Honestly, I haven't highlight my models yet, I feel I have to get better in maintaining my brushes better. Allthough I'm now also tempted to just buy a new brush just simply for highlighting hahaha. Congratz with your sponsorship, well deserved. I'm now half way my Tau Combat Patrol assembly and painting and still rewatch your vids for tips and tricks!
Thank you, this commander turned out great and I surprised myself ha I do actually reccomend using a seperate brush for highlighting as a brush used for everything is not going to be good for anything. for highlighting I stick to a small layer brush or size 0 depending on what brushes you use. rember you have those spare bits in the box, make use of them to practice your hghlighting. When I get the chance and time I do want to do some tau infantry, but thats gonna be a while ha good luck with the combat patrol, make sure to take your time and enjoy it
Informative. Accessible. Encouraging. Subbed. Thanks, mate!
Welcome to the channel 😃 I’m happy you want to stick around. Thank you
Looks awesome
😁 glad you think so, I was really proud of this one
This is other worldly top galaxy Michael!!!!!!
Thank you 🙏🏻 I appreciate that
You should do an ork painboy next. I’d like to see your method on the liquid in the syringes and the tubes on the miniature. Cheers for the content!
I'm going to be doing an apothecary soon, early next year. So I'll go through painting syringes and liquid in bottles with that. next Ork tutorial, I want to do some terrain
Very cool! Thanks for sharing. 😎🇨🇦
Glad you liked it. Your welcome 😃
Also, if you ever do merch, I want something with chunky highlights on it
I’m actually working on some stuff at the moment and that’s a great idea 😂
Very excellent
Thank you. I appreciate your comment 😊
Kinda focused on Tyranids but the Tau i really like, the only Chapter I'd get are The Salamanders but can't really find any so I'm focusing on Tyranids for now.
The Tau would be next but with their orange colour scheme. But your paint scheme and execution is gorgeous and making the battle suit white is a lot easier tbf.
I'm working on my Tyranids at the moment. I love painting them, so different to everything else. Imperial fists are my chapter and I really want to do some Aeldari soon.
You could use Orange as an accent colour rather than a main colur. you could swap out the grey or the red for it and still do the white armour :)
This was great video! I'm new to Warhammer and hope to paint my first army soon, have you done any Kroot yet?
Welcome to the hobby.
Glad you liked the video 😁 let’s see how well this tutorial does. Kroot would be a lot of fun to do though
A sponsor slot? Congratulations! That's how you know you've gotten big.
Haha yeah I was stoked when they asked. I’m not even a big channel and they’ve been absolutely amazing g to work with and I’ve been using skillshare for a while now as well so it was perfect 😁
Lovely work! I really hope you do some Age of Sigmar stuff soon. I'd also enjoy seeing how you'd do Biel-Tan Eldar. You have a real knack for painting white armor.
Both are planned after January once I’ve done some new cadian stuff 😁
@@TableTopReadyUA-cam Exciting!
@@scottywan82 hey dude, are you looking forward to the new tabletop game that’s going back to the “Old World” Warhammer fantasy setting? I grew up on the Warhammer fantasy battles game and for it to possibly come back to its pre Age of Sigmar lore is a huge win for me!
If they give me my orcs back, that’s all I’m interested in 😋 give me boar boys, doom divers and wyverns please
@@TableTopReadyUA-cam Oh I love my Empire boys and Bretonnia! The heraldry and pageantry was so much fun to paint! Those High Elves too! 😁
Great video as usual, I especially appreciate the tip on gluing sub-assemblies. Where do I get such a big bottle of superglue?!
Thank you. Honestly I just went round the corner and asked for a cheap bottle of super glue 😂 this is what they had
When doing the brown glaze, I actually recommend going back and forth a time or two with the brown and white. This smooths out the blend and lets you get it just right. And when you get the glaze on your brush, wipe some off on a wet paper towel. That'll keep you from applying too much.
great advice :)
I love your videos! Will you be doing another ork video in the future?
Also how do you clean up your details so well?
Of course I will. I have in mind to do some Ork terrain, probably early next year
🤷🏼♂️ I dunno. Practice I guess
Just 🤌🏼 Michael! Simply beautiful work!
Thank you. I was really happy with how this guy turned out. Took long enough though ha
I’ve done my Tau commanders armour in Eshin grey. What colour would you use for scratches. I’ve only started painting about a month ago, so loving all your tips and tricks. From Australia cheers
I'm glad your enjoying my content :D honestly I would still use Gorthor Brown. Good luck. keep going and enjoy it
Wooooooooooo. Also when you painted the custodies how did you find their level of detail? Thinking about starting an army but I don’t want to get one that will have me sit around for 2 hours painting all the ornate details on a single model.A bit of detail is good but to much is not, I’d really value your opinion. thanks for another amusing video and your first sponsor
Honestly the custodes aren’t too bad, especially if your doing the gold scheme. Your basically letting the wash do all the work for you. The steps and order I painted mine in the tutorial is the best way I found. The toughest detail to get is on the staff, so just take your time and be as neat as you can when doing them.
Hay I was wondering how did you get the grey seer under coat so well white did you base it in corax all over after you applied the under coat and I love all your video they are super helpful
Many thanks
Grey Seer is a really good spray and goes down very easily. If you struggle to undercoat your miniatures go and watch my undercutting miniatures tutorial, I go through everything that I do when spraying. Yes I used Corax white for the base colour, croaky white is also really easy to use and goes down really well :D
have any tips to paint yellow tau? with classic citadel color? (no contrast)
painting Tau is pretty much the same as painting marines. Go check out my imperial fist tutorial and flash Gitz mega armour tutorial for some ideas
Easily the best miniature paint guides, its crazy how far ahead TableTopReady is.
Thank you, I always appreciate your comments and support
You never blink.
I can't :(
Looks Great! I wish i could do something similar but i've already failed at step one. Since i'm new to the hobby i've asked for some advice at the local store regarding painting and they've said that i should use Vallejo white instead of Grey Seer or White Scar for priming and the result was terrible, i ended up with a grainy uneven surface that was visible even after 2 layers of paint, now i've gotta find out how to strip an entire Combat Patrol.... I don't know if i've just got a faulty product or white primers are just this bad generally but it feels as if the paint dried even before hitting the miniatures and it leaves white dust on my hand when i touch it.
Regardless of what we use to prime or undercoat, its always a good idea to learn how to use these products, especially spraying. I have a couple of videos now talking about using sprays which may help you.
Its tough to strip a model and its not always neccessary as our paints a very thin anyway. You will probably need to give your miniature a sand with a very fine grit sand paper, something like 2000 grit. its should help get rid of that texture
If your getting a dusty finish, its likly the spray hasn't been shaken up enough or it is too hot and humid when spraying causing the paint to dry before hitting the miniature.
The new White Scar spray is amazing and is very forgiving and I really reccomend it. just make sure its shaken up properly, do this for 2 minutes atleast. the can needs to be atleast room temperture as well. spray from a distance the same lenght as your formarm and kee the can moving as you spray to stop it building up
keep practicing, I still get it wrong so don't worry. I know its disheartening but keep going
@@TableTopReadyUA-cam Thank you! I appreciate the advice, sanding ran through my mind before but i was afraid of damaging the fine details on the commander maybe i'll test it with some spare sprues then do that on the devilfish if it works.
Class
thank you :)
Do you use the corax white to paint all of the armor over the grey seer or just use the corax white for fixing mistake?
Corax white is used for the base colour of the armour, so it's used all over
What are you using for your camera motion work in your timelapse segments? Track / dolly?
It’s like a small remote camera dolly. It’s made by reeves and I just got it off amazon for about £60. I’ll put a link in the video descriptions tomorrow
@@TableTopReadyUA-cam awesome!
Thank you for the response.
Que genial ñññññññ
Thank you 🙏🏻
Paint some more tau!
Ok
I got some pathfinders last year painted 2 wasn't happy with them they are so small hahah
Maybe it’s time to give it another go 😁
@@TableTopReadyUA-cam its not the mechs its the troops but deffo going to try after I finish my BT army you videos have helped me alot thabk you for your help 👍👍👍👍
Why did you go gorthor brown over aggrax earthshade? Not a criticism, just curious. Im trying to find the best color.
A shade is not great for creating glazes. The pigment is too loose and has a more glossy finish. 👌🏻 you can try it you try using it 😁 you may prefer it
@@TableTopReadyUA-cam Sorry I was unclear. I was referring to the gorthor brown for the recesses and the edge damage, not for the glaze.
Oh okay. Honestly it’s the same reason. They don’t crest consistent lines like a thinned paint does. Again try it out if your curious. 👌🏻 we can always use the extra bits in our kits to practice
This video is a great example of how crappy the coverage is with both Abaddon Black and Mephiston Red. One coat looks more like Contrast!
Great video, though. Makes me want to paint!
I've just started using black legion contrast as my black base. Comes out way better than Abaddon black
You have to remember that they have been thinned down. Acrylic paints are never gonna have the best coverage either. A couple of layers isn’t too much work and it really doe give you better results.
Why cant the queens people call it paper towels. I counted 7 different things in my kitchen that were rolls not including any bread items
Haha we like to keep
It simple. My favourite roll is the sausage roll.
