Hello there.

I am painting cataphractii terminators with a thousand sons color theme. I would like to paint the leather strips on the shoulders and between the legs in yellow.

My idea was to use Yriel yellow as a base, then drybrush with flash gitz yellow. I don't know how to use the wash (nuln oil ?) on the strips : should I place a layer of Yriel, wash the whole strips than drybrush with Gitz, or just wash lightly "between" the strips, then gently drybrush with Gitz.

How would you do ?

Don't use nuln oil as its a black base wash, your base is yellow so use either seraphim sepia(light brown) or Cassandra yellow(yellow).

I want to ditto sepia and also suggest agrax earth. but it depends on the tone you are going for

you can also max high light up with a bone color like VMC ivory.

or just mix some white with the yellow you are using.

FW has a guide on their bulletin today which might help (haven't read myself tbh):
