I got a question about painting yellow since its already kind of in this thread. When you water down yellow-how much water should you add and how long should you wait. Because when I paint yellow I water it down to much or not enough or dont wait long enough becuase I get impatient... :) Or I paint it and I want a long time but then because its watered down it moves some of the other paint. It just never works for me.

Just follow my brother's recipe- no yellow paint involved, and his Fists look great!

 

White spray undercoat

mix 1:1 Fiery Orange and Skull White (you should get a peachy kinda colour)

Highlight edges with watered-down Skull White twice for each edge

Paint 1:1 Yellow Ink and Water all over anything that's yellow.

Paint details, as well as putting brown ink in any and all recesses.

 

to the OP:

 

It looks a bit orange, could just be the light, and on one of the shoulderpads you've spilled red quite a ways on. Mega mold lines, and Fist trimmings such as wings and aquilas are red, according to my brother's army. I do like how well you've managed to dot the eyes, though.

thanks 4 all the replies its much appreciated...

 

the orange look is because of the light i hope to update the pics with better lit ones fairly soon as well as having pic of my tactical sergeant

 

sorry about the mold lines never really thought too much of them but i will try harder to remove them next time...

 

yeah i think i apply too much yellow too thickly because i just get impatient lol...but i think over time if i gradually build up the yellow it will work out a lot better... thanks again for all the replies

If you want a tip with working with yellow, thin it with yellow ink instead of water. I'm not sure if GW still makes yellow ink, but if they don't, privateer press's paintline P3 makes it. It allows you to paint thin coats and not lose its opacity.
