Phalanx Yellow


Frostmourne

Recommended Posts

I have no experience with the FW paints, but there are a lot of good IF schemes out there.  With the yellow though, I really recommend the use of an airbrush.  Here's a scheme I like:

 

Army painter leather brown primer (can be any brown really)

Airbrush:

pick out hilights on armour with white

light thinned down coat of GW averland sunset all over

take care not to cover all of the pre shading

pick out hilights again with GW yriel yellow

 

 

Wash lightly with 50/50 mix of GW nuln oil and agrax earthshade

Gotta agree with jim amm

 

Airbrush is the way to go..... much easier (to keep you sane) for laying down the yellow on lotsa minis in one sitting..

 

Plus you can use airbrush color primers...ive been using dunkelgeb as a base recently..

 

Hope you find something that works for you :-)

Heres the old scheme:

 

 Undercoat Skull White

Yellow Areas

 Airbrush 50/50 mix Tamiya Flat Red/Yellow

 Airbrush 25/75 mix Tamiya Flat Red/Yellow

 Airbrush Tamiya Flat Yellow

 Airbrush 75/25 mix Tamiya Flat Yellow/Flat White

 Airbrush Tamiya Clear Yellow

 Wash with a mix of Humbrol Clear, Agrax Earthshade and Seraphim Sepia all thinned down

Black Areas

 Abaddon Black

 Highlight – Blend up to Mechanicus Standard Grey

 Final Highlight with Dawnstone

If you want an On-Board Example, look up Phalanx Warders PLOGs, he uses the scheme to a greater extent.

 

The FW Scheme gives you much more depth of color than just Yellow.

 

A feeling I'm trying to replicate with my Multitude of Yellow Schemes I've done overtime.

I'm thinking just a grey or brown undercoat and layers of flat yellow. Any thoughts?

 

I've used the Tamiya Flat before, but never with a paint brush.  It is flat, so consider if you want to do something like transfers you'll get better results if you gloss it up.  Brown + flat yellow would be a good look, but I'd also go for a dark wash for the recesses.

Iv just looked them up and they look amazing to be fair.

 

With each progressive layer, is it zenithal style or whatever it's called? Or just a flat all over coat?

 

Thanks.

Beats me. They usually mention it in their recipies when its zenithial or not.

I use tamiya for mine, but with an airbrush

White primer

Lemon yellow

Shade with clear orange

Varnish

Burnt sienna oil wash

Varnish

Two coats of clear yellow

Sounds a lot of work but it rally isn't, mainly as it doesn't need a great deal of precision.

The below is wip but you get the idea for the yellow
