I´ve opted for a very clean paintjob on the Primaris Marines to contrast the gritty look of the Plague Marines and company. I´m quite exited about this new commission I´m into since Monday this week: Painting up 2 Boxes Primaris Marines – the client wished for Imperial Fists as well as the Death Guard! So this is it for the base colour, next part will be the armour trim and weapons/equipment.Ĩth edition Warhammer 40000 is out and the new Box „Dark Imperium“ has hit the stores – time for me to pick up on this, too. I can really recommend these Washes, since they perform really well. Army Painter produces 2 sepia shades, with Soft Tone being a bit stronger than Light Tone. There are no yellow shades available (at least I have not found any yet) – instead one should pick a sepia shade. Remember that as almost every colour besides black, yellow needs a shading, too. Lamenters Yellow is also a really helpful tool for a yellow paint job, since it gives the colour a big boost in brighness and saturation, which you would otherwise have to achieve through extensive layering with different yellows – a very time consuming and ardous process. So to circumvent this, I think it is important to let the characteristics of the paints available work for you – Averland Sunset, while being more like ochre than true yellow, gives a great foundation for a yellow paint job since it really is extra opaque – just make sure to apply 2 nice thin layers instead of 1 thick layer. Yellow is typically a rather problematic colour since most yellows available are no really opaque and you have to apply laver over layer over layer to get a good result – and by this eliminate any detail a model might have in the worst case! So this is basically my recipe for Imperial Fist Armour or Yellow Armour in general. Again, I let the Flat Yellow dry for at least an hour but preferably over night.įinally I apply a generous wash with Lamenters Yellow – this brings together all layers applied nicely while also enhancing colour saturation – Citadel Glaze colours really make the colour pop! Preferably there should be some Averland Sunset still coming through around recessed areas since this will appear like a nice colour gradient when finished. I make sure not to apply Flat Yellow to the recesses of the model since this would eliminate the shading done previously. This colour is quite thin, so you´ll have to wipe the brush thoroughly – there may be heavier paints or even Citadel Dry paints available which would be easier to use, but the colour is just right for this step, so I use it anyway. I simply give the model an all over wash with Light Tone and let it dry for at least an hour, but preferably over night.Īfter the wash has sufficiently dried, I give the whole model a heavy drybrushing using Vallejo Model Color FlatYellow and the cut-off brush. Next up is a generous wash with Army Painter Light Tone – Army Painter Washes are, in my opinion, about the best shading Inks/Washes available, since they don´t dry up splotchy or uneven like other washes (I´m looking at you, Vallejo Game Colour Washes!!). I apply 2 layers of Averland Sunset to get a nice even base colour, letting each layer dry for aboout half an hour.
I add a drop of water to enhance color flow and surface tension. Steps 1-4 from left to right (Base Colour, Shade, Drybrush, Glaze)įirst of all I spray the models using a white primer – typically Army Painter Colour Primer Spray Paints, but in this case I used Citadel Skull White primer spray.Īfter about 1 hour drying time I apply the first layer of Averland Sunset using the Size 3 Standard Brush.
