    Jaw dropping gorgeous. Tau was my first 40K army, and for many years my only army. I still have them in glorious plastic grey. Not because I am too lazy to paint or because I suck at it. Rather, I have no idea how I want to paint them to this date. I mean, I want them to look like the super high tech civilization they are, but it's not as easy to paint as a space marine (like my Black Templars; black, white, red... and you're good to go.)

    I paint about 1-2k points of per year (tabletop quality, not too far from the Eavy metal quality), though this year I finally got an airbrush, my pace will increase, the airbrush allows to cut some corners by basically doing some steps super fast. 1-2 weeks for a vehicle, monster or squad of 5-10 guys. I did notice in late years, some of the newer models have a slightly heavier workload, they just are bigger and got more details to paint. Granted some armies are done faster than others, the fastest to paint by far is necrons, tau, especially if you got an airbrush are also pretty fast to do. Now granted some years are more productive than others. Painting a giant army is painful, but painting like a 2k force, you've got no excuse it's very doable for anyone.

    One thing this made me realize is I overcomplicate my layers and paint schemes way more than is necessary. The results I get are pretty excellent, but they're not that much more detailed than this unless you're really looking close and it would take me like 10 times as long to do.

      It's about finding techniques and a process you can do fast and not paint things that's not visible :)

    Hey, nice video! Great colour scheme! Can you link the music tracks you used? I really like the track around 4:00 and the one that starts around 5:10. Thanks!

    In my experience with 2000 painted points and no airbrush going for a clean and subtle scheme takes a lot of time. but I've always been slow at this sort of thing I only get a handful of models a year so I drag them out. Also Other than my base colors, I mix my own paint. furthermore without an airbrush and living in a climate where rattle cans don't function for more than half the year I use paint on primer and underpainting in grayscale by hand instead of that classic easy zenithal technique.
    I've painted nids, guard and marines before. guard and nids take a simple paint job really well and look good. marines are in the middle somewhere cus they have lots of detailed surfaces. My experience with tau is that the classic base, layer wash approach doesn't work well if you're aiming for anything above table ready. Wash is practically useless other than on cloth. if you try to wash the big flat surfaces of tau suits you get a messy result or spend more time cleaning it up than it takes to just to panel line or pinwash them. The big thing personally is that you got to do a lot of highlights lowlight, and variant mid-tones. Other armies provide enough detail that you can sort of leave mid-tones as is and just high and low light details. with tau, if you want them to pop, you have to do each surface in its entirety and keep the sharp corners clean. I'm an extreme case but personally, without an airbrush and mixing black, white and a mid-grey as needed, it takes me longer to underpaint a crisis suit than it took you to do this army.
    so I will say this: if you got money to burn on an airbrush and you got the rest of your layer paints ready to go and you aren't fighting army painters sub-par coverage I'm sure Tau are pretty comparable to other armies. But if you're working with fewer resources I find the gap is wider for getting them to look good than it is with other armies.
