It have been some time since I last posted here, so I thought it was time for something special. This post is kind of a follow up on my Wraithguard conversion thread that can be found in the Iyanden project material (Im really flattered that its still around). The aim is to cover painting yellow in general and wraithguards in particular.
Im sorry if the photos are a bit blurry. Haven't got the best of cameras available for this project.
Well, first thing first:
I've started with priming the squad white. No biggie. Just making sure the coat is even over the whole model.
The next step is my yellow priming. I don't have the patience for multiple layers to make the colour look good. The foundation colours really helped me here. As I found that their yellow colours was to brown and to bleak I decided to mixing a little. This base coat is 6 parts Tau ochre and 1 part golden yellow.
Next I have shaded the edges and other dark areas with gryphonne sepia and painted a layer of really wet golden yellow over the tay/golden base coat. The head was then painted enchanted blue.
Next I was a bit caught up in the painting so I missed to take pictures...
Lots have happened here. The yellow are have gotten a sunburst yellow highlight. The banner have been painted vermin brown and then red gore, as I find that solution makes for the most even covering. The Gun and other parts have been painted black and then highlighted with codex grey. The Head have been shaded with asurmen blue, then highlighted with enchanted blue and lastly more highlighted with ice blue. The spirit stone also have been painted dark angels green.
Still left to do is highlight the banner, finishing the spirit stone and other gems on the model and doing the base.
