About This Video

Painting infantry can be the most time-consuming, sanity-draining part of finishing a Warhammer army—especially if you’re like me and you’ve somehow ended up with 60+ infantry because you chose a horde army “for whatever reason.” In this video, I break down my sanity-saving speed painting system for getting 20 infantry models tabletop-ready fast, without pretending every single lad needs to be painted like you’re chasing a Golden Demon. I’m not claiming to be the world’s best painter—I’m just showing you what I do to stay proud of the result and actually get armies finished. I start with the tools that make this workflow smooth: wet palette, three brush sizes, water, a painting handle (mine’s literally a cheap bit of wood), and yes—coffee. Then I go step-by-step through my batch-friendly order of operations: fast basecoats where tidiness isn’t critical, followed by targeted highlights where it matters most. My orc skin is the main focus (because faces sell the model), using three greens to simulate overhead sunlight: darkest on all skin, midtone on about 50%, and a punchy highlight on 20–25%. I also cover quick tabletop-ready choices—like keeping some areas single-coat because they’re not focal points—plus detail passes for teeth, eyes, metal, and simple battle scarring to bring the whole squad to life.
