Best intro ever.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Gracias guapo 😘

[@jonashesse315]

It always amazes me how you manage to utilise contrast paints at that incredible level of paintjobs. I knew that contrast paints are no universal tool to make everything easy and perfect, but your Tutorials definitely showed me how to achieve incredible results without dozens of layers. Thank you for that ❤️

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Happy to help 😘

[@janczaplinski658]

Yeah, now I actually think about using them instead of lots of red paint (I do a lot of red Skorne for my client)

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

That's awesome!

[@jonashesse315]

@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures on GW's website, when you visit the normal battle sister box, there is one sister bearing a simulacrum which is not golden but kinda in a light brass tone. which colors would you use to replicate that look? :)

Great intro , love the recipe you used for the white armor. Going to use it for my Deathwing! I really enjoy this series thank you.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Glad you liked it! I had a lot of fun making that intro. The armour came out extremely well too. If you are going to paint a full army I recommend you mix a full pot of the two washes in advance. That's what I did for my undead and it was much better

[@matthewbrewer8318]

Great work mate as always!

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thanks 😘

[@fleeb-f9u]

one trick for panel lining all the armor bits is to mix a shade with contrast medium. Im not sure why but when you mix a shade like agrax or nuln oil with the contrast medium I swear it only sticks to the small cracks and panel lines. Its like using an enamel panel liner but with standard GW paints instead haha. (an enamel panel liner is also a great way of doing the lines of course, since if you spill you can always just wipe it away with some enamel thinner that wont hurt the acrylic below.)

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Those are all solid advice. Thanks

[@joseale2310]

[@davidevalenti1542]

magnificent!

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thanks 😘

[@TheSeekingOne]

Thanks for yet another great video! A technical question if I may: when working with Contrasts, do you mix and thin them on a wet palette or do you use dry palette? If the latter is true, how do you prevent them from getting increasingly thicker due to gradually drying out?

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

I've done both, for the dry palette I just use the ammout I need, simple as that and add more as I go through it. I know use them over the wet palette without issue as I never go back to them after they have sit down on it for a while, which can cause issues

[@MaelstromMaster]

un tau padrisimo papi!!!

Le faltan las tetas, pero nadie es perfecto

[@bartswitalski]

My first thought: Oh! No subassemblies, I'm not half-wit! Second thought: Oh! I'm not the only half-wit here :D

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

The only subassembly I suggest here is not gluing him to the base, the rest I would glue for sure

[@christiansebine7316]

@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures igual es por la rapidez de algunas transiciones, también puede ser que tenga la mente cansada y los cambios repentinos no los digiera tan bien. En cualquier caso, probando se aprende y se mejora así que dale duro! 💪😁

[@Quikbl4de]

Hi Juan, Been loving your videos. Im struggling to replicate the cloth on this one though. If I do basilicanum grey and black templar on top I just seem to get a flat black with no highlights. I was wondering are you using contrast medium in your black templar so its more transparent? Thanks for the great content.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

No medium, it's meant to get s super dark black afterwards

[@rjtwo5434]

Really great job! You make it look so easy. If I may, how long do you let the mini dry before painting the next color? Do you let it dry?

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

As long as it's needed fpr it to be dry

[@jebadiahbowman3232]

INSANE!

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

[@vynatonamikaze4501]

Hello, can you paint farsight enclave colour please. Would love to learn how to do contrast with them

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

I already did without Contrast, I honestly think for darker tones, the regular method is better so don't expect a video soon I'm afraid. I might do it in the future

[@vynatonamikaze4501]

@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures can you try to Tau with deadpool colour scheme? I just saw a new paint from army painter called Speed Paint that is similar to contrast, I’m just curious which one I should buy for Tau. I’m new to painting and I just think contrast looks a lot more simpler, but I haven’t found a guide on Farsight version.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

To be honest I don't know how the new paints are because I haven't tried them yet. In all fairness they look VERY similar including the colour selection so getting whatever brand is available to you would be the best idea. Watch the Eavy contrast - Word Bearers video as they have a dark red armour and that would be helpful for you to use in the Farsight army.

[@brother_wesley]

Corax White is an amazing paint? I was surprised to hear you say that, since I remember you saying White Scar was bad. Thanks for the amazing videos JH!

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Different paints. Corax White is the best covering off white ever made. It's uncanny how well it covers

[@GheyForGames]

PLEASE do a regular cadian, i want to see what you can pull out of such a simple sculpt

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

I will at some point for sure, it will just take time to get there

[@srsgoblin]

Came for the great tutorial, stayed for the memes. Always get a chuckle out of your stuff, my friend. You think about adding some dinge and grime on the armor? I find it looks incredible on white armor. I did some white armored Orks for Blood Bowl recently where I made little scratches with Wildwood and underlined it with a white, felt like it added a lot of depth to the color.

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thought about but nah, not for me. Thanks 😘

[@bazej6028]

very nice

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Thanks

[@stargazer1041]

I definitely prefer watching you paint characters, rather than infantry, there's much more detail and personality in these

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

Yeah, also cheaper as I only paint one guy really

[@Gnadeg0ttes]

Hi, painting tau is usually not fun for you but I am very happy that you did it. I like the armor very much and you get the maximum out of the color white. The shadow gradient is great. Do you think you can also paint the depressions with Gryph-Charger Grey and the highlights with Thunderhawk Blue+Fenrisian Grey, Fenrisian Grey, Ulthuan Grey?

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

If you mean using Gryph-charger Grey for the white recess shade and the Thunderhawk Blue, etc for the black bits, then yes of course you can. Also, thanks 😘

[@Gnadeg0ttes]

@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures Yes exactly. Like in your Eavy Contrast Marines - White Scars video. I think you are a great painter and I soak up every tip from your videos like a sponge. Keep up the good work and thank you for investing your time in each of these awesome videos.

Hello Juan, do you not find Corax White to be quite a chalky or rough textured paint?

Just like any other white or near white paint that is heavily pigmented. Thin it down appropriately and you shouldn't have any issues

[@Hannah11876]

So your corax white basecoat is pretty much the corax white paint spray from GW, right? Did you use some primerspray beforehand or did you go straight with the corax white spray as your primer/basecoat? By the way, the miniature looks incredible!

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

GW sprays work as primers over plastic, you don't need anything underneath. And thanks

[@Hannah11876]

@@JuanHidalgoMiniatures Interesting. Some advised me to follow up an undercoat spray with a brush basecoat albeit very light/diluted, almost wash like. Would you advise me to just leave the undercoat spray as is and only use brush when correcting mistakes? I'm asking because I'm about to paint a huge chunk of Vior'la sept units, and your color scheme is the best I have seen (and I have seen a lot). Thanks in advance!

[@JuanHidalgoMiniatures]

I only do it if I have very obvious missed parts from the spray. You can do it, it's not a bad practice actually

[@rubengalvez2006]

Como siempre una pasada. Una pregunta rápida, tendrás algun video pintando algun personaje con nombre o algun bicho grande tipo el cantante nuevo??
