here's the deal, my buddy has alot (i mean alot) of space marines. He's got 2 dreadnoughts, 3 land speeders, 35 tac marines, 7-9 scouts, 2 chaplains (one with jetpack), a librarian, force commander, 10 command squad marines, 5 terminators, and he is in the process of buying some tyranic war veterans and possibly a tank (predator or vindicator). most of this is unpainted and he decided that it would be a good idea if I painted and converted his entire army. Normally I would be really excited to paint and convert this many models (especially when my buddy decided to pay me by buying me any and all Dark Eldar models I want) but there was one catch. HE WANTS ME TO PAINT THEM YELLOW! he wants me to paint them up in the Imperial Fists paint-scheme (but he's going to use the rules for ultramarines to play them). this is a concern because yellow is the dreaded colour. before anyone suggests foundation paints, I can't order any where I live and I can't order them online. so I need advice to paint high-quality yellow marines. how do I paint yellow effectively? how should I highlight yellow? any and all tips concerning the application of yellow would be appreciated. please when your speaking about paint colours to me, use the citedel range of colors, im not familiar with vallejo or any other paint brand's color names.
if an Imperial Fists player could tell me exactly how they go about painting thier yellow marines that would be helpful. remember, I am aiming for a high-quality paintjob, one that would score around a 7 on coolminiornot ratings, so just a basic outline for painting assembly line tac. marines is not going to suite my purpose. thanks in advance.
cheers.
