Imperial Fists

Jaune impérial. Très difficile à bien réaliser.

White primer is mandatory for the yellow. Start with Averland Sunset for boucher, then Yriel Yellow for vivifier. Avoid the black primer — The yellow covers never the black proprement.

Recommended undercoat white — Several priority paints in this army converge on white.

Tips

Hints for this army
1 Never black primer with of the yellow — Use OBLIGATOIREMENT a white primer or Wraithbone (spray GW).
2 The Casandora Yellow shade must be applied very localisé into the recesses, pas as a wash général (like for d'autres colour).
3 Plusieurs thin coats d'Averland Sunset valent mieux qu'a seule épaisse — The yellow is capricieux.
