Sure, as I’ve mentioned, normally yellow paint is difficult to work with because your first coat doesn’t do the job of providing good coverage.

I was tired of cleaning up after myself, so I decided to adopt this little fella in the hopes that maybe the floor would be a little less messy. The good news is that it worked great; my floors are bare. The bad news is that he’s also eaten the leather couch, three of the neighborhood cats, and both of my legs. “Rippy” the Ripper.

Citadel Colour’s Yriel Yellow is a high-quality acrylic paint that is perfect for miniature painting. The base coat is a bright, lemon-yellow that provides excellent coverage and a matt finish. The pigments used in the paint are carefully selected to create a vibrant and dynamic color that will make your miniatures stand out. Yriel Yellow is a great foundation colour for any beginner’s palette, providing a solid base for layering and highlighting, it can be used as an alternative to Flash Gitz Yellow. What Xenos Armies to paint with Yriel Yellow As you’ll see in the images, I simply took an inexpensive synthetic brush and applied a heavy undiluted coat of the contrast paint over the model. Yriel was born on Iyanden, but his bloodline is not purely Iyanden, and he is also the bastard descendant of the House of Ulthanash. Other than his unpure bloodline, Yriel is often considered to be greatly flawed for his sin of pride. [1] Hive Fleet Naga They actually look entirely different from the vehicles, but that works. For these guys the lore is that vehicles are out in the field and the toxic wasteland fighting for months at a time and are beaten to hell, and the infantry are either inside the vehicles or they are dead. You can see in this group shot that they all look fine standing side by side. In fact, the different paint schemes actually help, making the infantry pop rather than blending in to the vehicles behind them. Bish Bosh Bash, an incredibly simple receipe that shows Yellow is no longer the worst colour in your toolbox.Color Space Conversions Decimal 16767488 Binary 11111111, 11011010, 00000000 Hexadecimal #ffda00 LRV ≈ 71.4% Closest short hex #fd0 ΔE = 0.995 RGB rgb(255, 218, 0) RGBA rgba(255, 218, 0, 1.0) rg chromaticity r: 0.539, g: 0.461, b: 0.000 RYB red: 16.972%, yellow: 100.000%, blue: 0.000% Android / android.graphics.Color -9728 / 0xffffda00 HSL hsl(51, 100%, 50%) HSLA hsla(51, 100%, 50%, 1.0) HSV / HSB hue: 51° (51.294), saturation: 100% (1.000), value: 100% (1.000) HSP hue: 51.294, saturation: 100.000%, perceived brightness: 85.324% HSL uv (HUSL) H: 70.337, S: 100.029, L: 87.682 Cubehelix H: 49.477, S: 2.636, L: 0.804 TSL T: 1.846, S: 0.325, L: 0.801 CMYK cyan: 0% (0.000), magenta: 15% (0.145), yellow: 100% (1.000), key: 0% (0.000) CMY cyan: 0% (0.000), magenta: 15% (0.145), yellow: 100% (1.000) XYZ X: 66.315, Y: 71.407, Z: 10.290 xyY x: 0.448, y: 0.482, Y: 71.407 CIELab L: 87.682, a: -3.439, b: 87.663 CIELuv L: 87.682, u: 33.298, v: 93.187 CIELCH / LCHab L: 87.682, C: 87.731, H: 92.246 CIELUV / LCHuv L: 87.682, C: 98.957, H: 70.337 Hunter-Lab L: 84.503, a: -7.797, b: 51.932 CIECAM02 J: 83.907, C: 71.804, h: 94.470, Q: 180.472, M: 62.791, s: 58.985, H: 108.384 OSA-UCS lightness: -9.762, jaune: 11.655, green: 0.940 LMS L: 77.601, M: 74.616, S: 11.289 YCbCr Y: 191.407, Cb: 26.822, Cr: 159.721 YCoCg Y: 172.750, Cg: 45.250, Co: 127.500 YDbDr Y: 204.211, Db: -307.244, Dr: -96.627 YPbPr Y: 210.185, Pb: -113.255, Pr: 28.528 xvYCC Y: 196.512, Cb: 28.513, Cr: 153.060 YIQ Y: 204.211, I: 92.077, Q: -60.004 YUV Y: 204.211, U: -100.490, V: 44.557 Okhsl h: 96.610, s: 1.000, l: 0.875 Okhsv h: 96.610. s: 1.000, v: 1.000 Okhwb h: 96.610, w: 0.000, b: 0.000 Oklab l: 0.893, a: -0.021, b: 0.183 Oklch l: 0.893, c: 0.184, h: 96.610 Munsell Color System 7.5Y 8,5/12 ΔE = 2.673 Brand Color Sprint ΔE = 2.368 Random Colors Of course, first you need to have an airbrush and know how to use it.

What you’re looking for in your first coat of primer is a very smooth surface. The smoother your early priming layers, the easier it will be to paint the rest of the model. Make sure mold lines are removed and you don’t create any bubbles in your primer. Yellow is already a flaky, unreliable color. Don’t add to your troubles with a poor primer foundation.

The Orks: Orks are known for their bright, garish colors and Yriel Yellow can be used to paint the details of their guns and vehicles. It can also be used to create a sense of energy and movement on the miniatures, as well as to create a sense of chaos and anarchy.

Optional) This step is difficult to explain but basically, I shade the model using VMC Goldbrown. I do a mix of glazing, and recess shading and in some places straight layering. VMC Goldbrown is an ever so slightly darker but less opaque version of VGC Heavy Goldbrown so doing this results in a much less flat model. In our How to Paint Everything series, we take a look at different armies of the Warhammer universe, examine their history and heraldry, and look at several different methods for painting them. Today we take a look at the Craftworld Iyanden, a craftworld devastated by Tyranid Hive Fleets and whose forces now consist more of the dead than the living. Painting Iyanden can be pretty daunting, as they have a lot of yellow to paint. Yellow can be pretty unforgiving, and often requires a lot of thin coats to get good coverage, which can mean a chunky texture if you aren’t careful about thinning your paints. Robert “TheChirurgeon” Jones’ Method Not everyone has an airbrush or wants to get one. They are a tool that can’t replace the feeling and control that a regular brush paint job can achieve (see why an airbrush is never going to be as cool or exciting as painting with a regular brush).I tried manual hand edge highlighting on my riptide, it worked "ok" but in the future i will probably mix it with drybrushing. Final touches before the base. Adding a white transfer to the dome, which I then paint around to make sure it’s more seamlessly integrated with the model. Overall I’m really happy with how this turned out – the blue and yellow are very striking and it wasn’t nearly as much of a pain to paint the yellow armor as I originally feared it would be. Credit: Robert “TheChirurgeon” Jones Using the dry brushing technique (shown here in-depth), I apply an even layer of Yriel yellow over the entire model to smooth out the splotchy base coat on the raised open surfaces. Dry brushing yellow paint takes care of the uneven base coat surfaces on the shoulder armor and leg armor plates. Do you guys have any tips beside basecoating in white? (and thinning my paints.... sorry... i had to... :D ) Any specific tips to highlighting or other things to keep in mind when painting yellow or any other bright color?
