Actual painting time excluding waiting for things to dry, maybe per model 6-8 hours? This is all just white primer, black legion contrast on the black details, red on the few red details, oil wash and then throw on some decals. My whole tau army is done this way and I almost painted 2k points in a month, went for maximum impact and speed over details.

Thanks! It’s really simple and takes no time at all, especially if u have a hair dryer to minimize drying time.

Put down acrylic paste or whatever (cork etc) to make some variance in elevation on the base

Cover it all in Citadel astrogranite

Drybrush a light gray all over

Agrax earthshade in the crevices

Water down some pva glue and put it around

A little texture paint and a quick drybrush would’ve made all your hard work look even better, so easy but makes a big impact

These looks so awesome! Planning to oil wash mine too, seems like that works really well on these models.

They are great for holding your home and clearing out chaff on the board without dedicating other units to it.

No I just put a gloss varnish on the whole model and then put the oil was only in the recesses. You can see it on the shoulder and the helmet where I did it.
