Games Workshop Citadel Layer: Yriel Yellow

Product Information

Spend the time to prepare your models for paint and save a lot of time later. 2. Apply a single coat of Yellow Citadel Color Contrast Paint 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 The only time I feel alive is when I'm painting. Vincent Van Gogh

Color Charts The other important part with Iron Warriors is that they must be miserable. They have to be down in filthy, broken mud and toxic landscapes and the basing is essential to that. And toxic basing is easy and fun to do, you can really go wild with it.

Yellow can be one of those tough colors to get the hang of, mostly due to how transparent/translucent the color is when thinned. If painted over a dark color, it likes to stay dark, or takes multiple coats to get even coverage. But, when done right it really pops. The T’au Empire: The T’au Empire is a faction of xenos known for their advanced technology and use of drones. Yriel Yellow can be used to paint the drones and machinery of the T’au, as well as the energy fields that surround their weapons. This color can also be used to create a color scheme that mimics the color of the T’au’s battlesuit. 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.

 

If you missed a spot, you’ll notice some underlying primer peaking through. Take your brush and repeat step #2 with the Yellow Contrast Paint. But, only apply it to the missed spot.

With Citadel Contrast paint, you can operate faster. If you’re speed painting, Citadel Contrast paints can help. Of course, if you’re aiming for a final result that is better than tabletop quality, you’ll need to work on your model even more after using Citadel Contrast Colours. I don’t use complicated techniques for any of this. All you need a steady hand, a few simple colors (1-2) and call it a day!

I am convinced you will not be disappointed! Viva La Historia! 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. The following hues were selected because they are split-complementary, complementary, and analogous to yellow. They go well with Yriel Yellow and can be utilized to add highlights, shadows, and balance for a more dynamic and fascinating color scheme. These hues can also be combined with metallic paints to accentuate the miniature’s detailing.Somehow it took Games Workshop until the end of the 2010s to realize one important fact: People like pets. 40k saw the release of Kill Team: Rogue Trader, which included an extremely good boy, while Age of Sigmar has embraced Khornedogs, Gryph-Hounds, and Aetherwings for the Bloodbound and Stormcast factions. Where they’ve really outdone themselves is, as is so often the case, in Necromunda, where every gang has had an associated pet to accompany their gang leaders. Even Enforcers are getting in on the fun! Credit: Games Workshop The pink is Liquitex INK! Magenta painted over the tongue. You may find yourself having to re-do the base after the blue gets everywhere; for the tongue don’t worry about applying more drybrushing or anything. I just cover the mistakes with Bonewhite and move on. For a little extra depth you can apply a wash of AP Purple Tone, but it’s not necessary in this case. http://www.reapermini.com/forum/index.php?s=c770bc029dd218be5d17fff14fecefeb&showtopic=17678&st=0&p=266494&#entry266494 Looking at all angles of your model, make sure your dry brush covers only the raised surfaces of your miniature. This is the key thing you want to do when you’re looking to add that “extra dimension” to your miniature. 5. Add highlights with dry brushing Lastly, it’s time to highlight all the metals. This is the longest part of the process, but the one that makes all those details pop and brings the scheme together. I went with Stormhost Silver, as I wanted to maximize the contrast and definition of these models. Normally I’d do some weathering too, but these models are already so busy that adding scratches and such just seems like it would be too much.

You may have noticed that Rippy is a bit of an oddity, a Ripper of Unusual Size if you will. I made him by using some pieces that most Tyranid players end up with a lot of; a Trygon skull cap, toxin sacs, extra claws, and a Genestealer head. You can see how it all comes together in the image below. More adventurous modelers who worry about people looking “under the shell” so to speak are welcome to shove Green Stuff into the gaps and make it look suitably organic. Personally I just tell people that Rippy would appreciate it if they didn’t violate his personal space. Rippers. Credit: Primaris Kevin Following the Battle of Duriel, Yuriel felt that his time had come and the Spear of Twilight had sapped the last of his strength. As he intended to return the weapon to Iyanden's Shrine and die in the process, he was stopped by the mysterious Shadowseer Sylandri Veilwalker who he had not seen since first taking the relic. The Shadowseer told the prince that his job was not yet done and showed him violent visions of what may be to come: Daemons loose among the stars and Eldar Gods reborn in glory. Yriel felt his soul grow strong againg or some unknown cause, and took up the Spear of Twilight once more to lead his people through these future trials. [6a] Death and Rebirth Most P3 Paints do not match closely with the old GW range, but a detailed explanation of each paint can be found here: http://www.brushthralls.com/pre-painting-prep/color-theory-10p3.html I do not remember the exact colors or ratios I used to render my sweet daughter on canvas. Looks like there was some grey, purple, yellow, red, and white. Feel free to attempt to paint my lovely companion animal yourself, and share with us the result.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 For most of my Imperial Fist army, I used regular acrylic model paints.

I switched the basecoats out for Zandri Dust but otherwise it’s the same process. Owl. Credit: Lupe

Heya i recently bought a "small" cough batch of SM's as i wanted something different to paint than only my tau army. So i choose SM's because i like them and the new special GW model tempted me, and i got the 2016 special SM miniature as a Gift from my GF :D 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). Rotate your model and make sure when you add those details, you’re not focusing specifically on a single area. Spread out your work through out the piece. You’ll be playing and displaying with your miniatures from many angles (or at least most you will). Final edge highlights step. The gun gets some edging with Mechanicus Standard Grey. The tabard gets an edge highlight of Altdorf Guard blue. For the rusted chips and deep scratches, I used Chipping colour from Ammo of Mig (or you can use any Dark Brown colours for this method). I applied this colour on some previous light chips, scratches, edges, or on the exposed or heavy use areas.But, I suppose now I’m relying on a new product…As you see with Citadel Contrast color, it speeds up the first base coat process by allowing you to apply it straight from the pot everywhere.
