Contrast > wash > white > contrast is a very nice one that deserves to be explored with many colors (your note on the specific nature of this one notwithstanding). Well done.

@kingfield99 Жыл бұрын

Imperial Fists were my first army back in 1989, yes I'm old, at the time my painting process involved yellow paint straight out of the pot all over, then a bit of silver on the guns, finished off with a goblin green base. Each model took about 1 minute. They weren't good...

@DarcyBonoCreations Жыл бұрын

Aaay! 89 my birth year 😄. Yeah that sounds about right for all of us pre internet childhood kids. I really wish they'd bring back Goblin Green just for nostalgia sake. Warboss Green is close but not quite the same 😔

Oh wow this is great! I tried a test marine with just Imperial Fist and it just looked too flat, so I abandoned it. I'll definitely revisit that test model now with this technique. Thank you!

Why didn't this color exist back when I still played 40K? I spent an entire summer experimenting with all sorts of ways to get the yellow that I liked, and this makes it so simple. I saw your video about using makeup brushes for drybrushing a few years ago, and it was a _game changer_ ! I get _so_ much better (and faster) results since I started doing that. Thank you!

Imperial Fist Yellow is some serious black magic. I have no idea how GW managed to pull it off, but it finally made yellow truly easy.

@Desheep Жыл бұрын

this technique makes so much more sense to me than the commonly recommended base > zenithal > highlight > contrast, which frankly looks terrible outside of youtube.

@gergelydarmos3190 10 ай бұрын

This is a really cool method to paint imperial fists, thx. I started painting my first army according to this and by the 4th squad, I'm starting to get quite good results. What I tend to do is after the first wash-drybrush-yellow phase do another light drybrush and apply another layer of yellow, but really lightly, mostly avoiding the edges completely. This helped me get more consistent gradients. Worked on Dreadnought really well.

honestly, step 1 of this guide is the most important to make proper yellow. Prime the miniature with white - and then even terrible citadel's averland sunset will be smooth and cool. love the guide, hopefully i'll get my hands on new leviathan set and contrast yellow. not for imperial fists, but for lamenters though

This was a greatly useful video! For anyone interested, I played around trying to find the formula if using Speed Paint instead of Citadel Contrast. Burnished Red seems the right substitute for Goregrunta brown. I think the ratio of Burnished Red to Speed Paint medium may be as high as 4:1, however.

Great tip to do the black first before starting with the contrast. Big time saver/mistake saver step. Also, love seeing you use a wide flat brush for contrast paint on larger surfaces! For people who have done scale modelling (i.e. Airfix style stuff) this is a no brainer. Rounded brushes are great but not for base coats on flat areas.

Awesome vid! I always paint cheap and say all you need is your base color, dark wash and white. My black and white are my most used colors and I glaze the base back over the highlights to pull the saturation back. I love bringing my pallet down to the least amount of paint pots possible and using what I got. This proves you don't need 4 different shades of the same color to achieve great results!
