Black and yellow?

[sewerstalker]

Does anyone use the black and yellow colour scheme like in the rulebook?

Ive been thinking about undercoating my models black, paint the claws, talons, and any other sharp dangerous parts in yellow, then painting the tongues blue and the eyes red.

Just wanted to see how it looks done by other people.
The army i will be fielding will be mainly genestealers, with a flyrant and thropes.

I have yet to see a black and yellow scheme here, but I haven't been on the forum long. Since the rulebook has a step-by-step guide on how to paint them I think you'll do fine. I look forward to seeing your minis!

IIRC, there was somebody here a while ago with that scheme. I don't remember enough about it to fish it up though :<

here is a really brilliant black and yellow scheme mostly easy to paint this too...

The GW Sunburst yellow does not cover over a black base coat very well so, if you choose this scheme, I suggest getting the foundation yellow.

If you want a bright yellow over black, you have to layer it, I think a bestial brown/sunburst yellow mix would make a good foundation.

Was he me? ;D Anyway, I use that scheme too, but I make it more simple (yes, I'm a bit lazy): I just paint a first coat of snakebite leather, then a 50/50 mix of snakebite leather and sunburst yellow, and then a 30/30/30 mix of snakebite leather, sunburst yellow and skull white.

Also I'll try to use the vallejo paints instead of citadels, simply because they're better. But I don't know the colors to use ...

I hope this helps you

it could be me aswell, though mine have some red too

There was a guy who had alternating plates yellow and black, not like Lazyrant's edgework. I might be able to dig it up if I can remember the hive fleet name.
