<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Averland Sun and GW Yellow Paint By Numbers"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/8.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Averland Sun and GW Yellow Paint By Numbers GW line. (The one in the online guide.) My impressions:

Averland Sun on Chaos Black
This stuff is thick...terrifyingly thick. I was afraid to avoid thinning, and it went on pretty well. Two coats though DID NOT completely cover the black. There were still some places that needed touching up. Overall I was happier with it than Iyanden Darksun.



It took me about 3 coats of thinned paint to get the full coverage I wanted. I was terrified to use this stuff straight outta the pot, but with a clean brush like in the Citadel video, it seems to paint great now I'm on yellow space marine #15.

***Edit***

Tried to run this stuff through a spray gun with my normal glaze medium ratios and all the like. Didn't work great...ended up thinning and doing multiple thin coats. Really loving the color as of the third marine.

Casandora Yellow
Stuff is brilliant, but not right for Imperial Fists IMHO. It pools right where you want it and works like a dream. Shoulda gone with Nuln Oil or whatever. Trien Nuln Oil...nothing great. Back to Casandora and liking it now.



Yriel and Flash Layers
Well, honestly I was scared to use them straight out of the pot, but once I relaxed and just trusted the paint while thick, it was just fantastic. great coverage and great colors.






Hexos Palesun
The drybrushing compounds are weird, but just works really well. Takes practically tiny amount to use this stuff...really like it.



Lamenter's Glaze
Wow...just brought the whole thing together



Conclusion: Idiot Proof, but compared to Army Painter Daemon Yellow, base paints and dip, I'm still having a heck of a time making really great Imp Fists. As I'm a masochist, I think I'll keep trying until I get it down. I will post more later.

The new GW line is really meant to let the inexperienced hobbiest put a decent army on the table in not a lot of time. It will take some getting used to, but overall a great change to the line. I really liked it. I'll try to post gallery pics tonight.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/441715/4125940.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/441715/4125940.page GMT Averland Sun and GW Yellow Paint By Numbers http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/441715/4125996.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/441715/4125996.page GMT Re:Averland Sun and GW Yellow Paint By Numbers

HEre you see the two on the outside with the GW scheme and one in the middle with Army painter midtone dip, Daemonic yellow spray and basecoated details.

The bolder yellow of the GW scheme is really starting to win me over the grimy dipped yellow, but the dipped yellow fig takes 25 minutes total minus drying vs. the painted mini at 2.5 hours.

Sorry the pics are not great.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/441715/4177461.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/441715/4177461.page GMT Re:Averland Sun and GW Yellow Paint By Numbers fo the new paint review!

I tend to like the middle guy but I play orks and grime is necessary. The stronger yellow is noticeable though.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/441715/4179164.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/441715/4179164.page GMT Averland Sun and GW Yellow Paint By Numbers GW stages being that much better. Try the Averland and Quick Shade!

Does anyone know if all the new shades sink into the low points in such an extreme way. I tend to use thinned gryphonne sepia not only to shade the recesses in my yellow but to gently shift the whole colour a little. I am now a little worried about the replacement sepia.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/441715/4180813.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/441715/4180813.page GMT Averland Sun and GW Yellow Paint By Numbers

Well, this is a couple of the new shades over a white basecoat.
