They have an Extra Opaque subset in the Game Color Range. I used the Heavy Goldbrown as a base for yellow on the HOF Muster troops, with just a final drybrush of the thin Moon Yellow. Much better results.<br /><br />Another thing I'll try is the Yellow Snow wash from Secret Weapon Minis. Their washes have been a good complement to my lazy painting style.Chris K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03776262540828047947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2225875593099728358.post-81628605502054963012012-10-08T20:05:05.502+01:002012-10-08T20:05:05.502+01:00I will do what I can Eli but most of them were sho...I will do what I can Eli but most of them were showed to me in person at Salute 2012, I don't know the names of the painters or if they are online at all.<br /><br />GBSGavin Syme (GBS)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07820352168938167913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2225875593099728358.post-34438839444341749332012-10-08T19:24:19.826+01:002012-10-08T19:24:19.826+01:00Gavin, please send me links.

I might have to follow your recommendation and try a Reaper Master yellow next... the metallics I've tried so far are great.Chris K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03776262540828047947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2225875593099728358.post-2558658239642817142012-10-08T19:06:40.550+01:002012-10-08T19:06:40.550+01:00Yeah, the Urchins figure is a very useful piece.

More than a dozen ways now and eac colour scheme different. The Snake Alien with pistol was designed by Steve Hazuka. <br /><br />There has been a lot of love for the Star Urchin family too, very odd sculpt but that makes it special.<br /><br />As for the Prang...I would not mess with him!<br /><br />GBSGavin Syme (GBS)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07820352168938167913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2225875593099728358.post-29107766828339396502012-10-08T16:36:20.524+01:002012-10-08T16:36:20.524+01:00Great work Chris.
