Army Painter Daemonic Yellow Spray Primer

Looking it up now, it seems that this is some shit quality paint. Unfortunate, I don't have an airbrush and was looking for an easy way to paint my Imperial Fists.

Verbatim from the guy who taught me:

> Hey thanks! I'm glad you like them so much, it's good looking and pretty damn easy to paint. I'm happy to share my technique.

>I do each of the steps for all the dudes in a squad before moving to the next, makes it go a lot faster.

>1. Light, light, light primer layer of white sprayed from the top down and the sides at a downward 45 degree angle. I like The Army Painter White personally. This gives a bright underlayer for the yellow to pop, as well as just spread evenly. DON'T skip this step if you want a bright, bright yellow. I'd also recommend priming without the base on, if possible. I like to pin all the bits to corks and when painted/finally assembled, use a pin vise to drill mounting holes into the plastic base and glue down.

>1. Prime/Base coat with Army Painter: Daemonic Yellow Flesh Primer, It's a bit whacky, and can pool quickly, so be careful about where you spray. I like to do one model at a time on a cork so I can rotate it quickly. (wear gloves :))

>1. Once dry, wash the whole bugger with GW Casandora Yellow, being careful not to let it pool or collect into droplets. Dry for like 30 minutes.

>1. Highlight with Flash Gitz Yellow, I use a 1:1 mix of paint to water/flow improver and use a few thin layers to make it smooth. Good for evening out areas where the primer coverage isn't great. It may look like a stark contrast when you lay it down, but it dries almost indistinguishable from the primer color. This step is optional for gribblies. I have 60 Hormagaunts that I just skipped this step on.

>And that's the skin! Pretty easy, and looks great. I'd recommend a dark base color for contrast.

>If you'd like the steps for the carapace and/or weapons, happy to provide!

I skipped the highlight step on this one since I have 60 of these guys to finish, but I like the way the scheme turned out. Going to test base this and then I'll probably start on a bigger bug.

My carapace is different from his, but the general idea for it is to get a nice even coat of black, then feather on a medium-dark color and then a much brighter tint of that color over it but not quite as much, then I used the side of my brush with the lighter color to edge the corners.
