There are a number of ways to paint great looking yellows. If you want a warmer tone your best bet it going from back through brown using golden yellow highlighted with sunburst (if you're using GW colours).

there's some great guides out here. One of them is here:

The part about yellow is at the end of the guide. It gives a basic idea on what you wanna do Hope that helps.

Prime white paint yellow.

Every time I hear "in my opinion" or "just my opinion" makes me want to strangle a puppy. People use their opinions as a shield that other poeple can't critisize and that is bs.

If you can't defend or won't defend your opinion then that "opinion" is bs. Stop trying to tip-toe and defend what you believe in.

You make it seem pretty easy... Maybe you could show me someday to make it look proper.

If unable to prime white, then this is the answer. If you don't have the yellow foundation though, you can lay down a light grey instead and then start your yellow layers over that. The grey should give good coverage and a nice light tone for the yellow to start over.
