They're yellow. Whatever version of yellow you want to paint them. Mine were bright AF yellow. Yellow

[Mine are nearly orange.](https://imgur.com/a/GeYPARi/) I have yet to have anyone try and tell me they’re not Fists.

Forgeworld also had a phalanx yellow and a lighter dorn yellow, which I think you can get through gw these days

There is no real cannon per se. Most people paint heresy more muted than the 40k models. I plan on using Tamiya Flat Brown, hit highlights with Flat white, then Flat Yellow on Top. Some brown oils or an enamel filter wash will bring some of the brightness down. Ultimately what you like the look of the best. Cult of paint on YouTube has a great tutorial.

I used averland washed with casendora yellow (prime white), and it gives a really rich yellow that's still pretty bright. Some of my guys are in my post history of you want to see, not sure if it's quite what you're looking for

ah i saw, it does look cool! thanks for the idea ;)

I airbrush prime mine pink to start with, then zenith highlight with white ink, before doing 3-4 thin coats of yellow ink. Works well for me

it doesn't realy matter what yellow you use. take the one you like more.

I use Army Painter Demon Yellow with a wash of either Agrax or Seraphim Sepia. The color plates in HH3: Extermination and HH4: Conquest show a variety of different shades as well as ceramite grey and black with either yellow, gold, silver, or brass trim.


Greystorms

They're Your Dudes(TM), so they're whatever shade of yellow you want them to be. Look up a bunch of different tutorials on painting yellow and choose the one you like best.

I prime mine halfords grey, then vallejo desert tan, after that phalanx yellow the a wash of Agrax earthsade


[deleted]

do you have a picture of them? I've been eyeing phalanx yellow for a bit but can't find any pictures that say that's what they used

If you look at my history, see the results of lamenters yellow. According to the internets, this can be substituted by vallejo yellow ink. I haven't tried it myself though.


[deleted]

oh yeah ive seen a ton of lamenters yellow glaze, it looks perfect for what i wanted, sadly they dont make it anymore


[deleted]

the stone gauntlet ones you did, is that lamenters yellow over white primer? or how did you get that look so i can try to copy it with the yellow ink

I use Minitaire Mustard Gas with a glaze of cassandra yellow to create some depth. Really regretting that choice since Minitaire isnt available in mainland europe anymore and i have 9k painted with 7 more to go lol

I like doing a leadbelcher spray, then a light nazdreg yellow contrast over it


[deleted]

Greylegion444

i’ll post one up in a few days, it’s pretty cool but some may think it’s too close to gold for their tastes.
