Imperial Fists - Contrast on Power Armour Made Simple! [How I Paint Things]

Yellow still has a weird reputation for being difficult to paint! Luckily there's been so many developments in and new varieties of paints over the years that there'll always be another, simpler way of getting bright yellow Space Marines on the table.

There's a few Contrast paints which are really more like intense glazes - fans of Lamenter Yellow will probably get a kick out of the new Imperial Fist, as it acts very similarly.
