I'm six minutes in but I had to stop and just say THANK YOU for actually demonstrating a mistake (the black paint) and then how to fix it. So many other videos on TH-cam warn against making this mistake, and discuss how to fix it, but seeing you actually go through the process isn't just useful, it's oddly reassuring to see an expert make and fix a mistake, even if it's demonstrative. Thank you!
Ive pretty much been doing this, but I must say, that i find it A LOT easier to apply the black to the joints, then neaten up the undercoat, and THEN go with the yellow contrast. Can always fix the black up a bit again after. Youll get a lot less mistakes along the way I find.
As someone who only recently got into painting minis I really appreciate you for showing mistakes that can and for me will happen. I have watched many videos on painting and tricks but rarely seen how to fix mistakes such as black on yellow. Should really help me tidy up my minis :)
Welcome to the hobby! Everyone makes mistakes, they are a fact of painting. Most important thing to do is exactly what Duncan explained: stay calm, clean off what you can & fix it later. Any mistake can be fixed. Happy painting!
Absolutely brilliant again Duncan. What I love about your painting videos is they are easy to follow, don't require super-advanced techniques but still provide absolutely superb results. This is probably one of the most efficient imperial fist colour schemes I've seen and that contrast base/shade step with the layer paint finish is a total 'light bulb' moment for me! I loved the idea of contrast but always shyed away from the finish which, for me, always reflected the minimal effort that was applied yet I still love the paints - this is an approach (which seems so logical now) that i will apply over and over again now I've seen it. Thank you Duncan - absolute gem of the community :-)
Been watching your tutorials since the old days when you were with GW, hands down you have the best tutorials and I really appreciate lately you speaking more about mistakes and how to actually fix them. The demonstration was super helpful as well because once you got to the part about black after all the yellow done, I already knew I would be making at least three mistakes when painting those small parts. One day I will have to try your paint range because, well, its Duncan.
Great guide Duncan. I'm still curious to see how the upcoming "Imperial Fists" Yellow contrast over the new White Scars spray will compare to Iyanden over Wraithbone.
Early results I have seen on the FB groups are promising. I just grabbed a pot of it to try. I am wondering if the better play might be to do a preshade over a light primer, and then throw the Imperial Fists Contrast right over as your main final layer. Maybe do a few highlights to taste.
Late reply, but I've had good success using Chapter Master Valrak's method which is to do White Scars to Avarland Sunset to Imperial Fists. I am currently trying out pre-shading or, "reverse Zenithal," with a warm brown or red-brown contrast or shade. Still figuring out how well any of that works.
Here's a neat trick about painting yellow. Do not prime in black, what you want to do is prime in PINK with a zenithal highlight of ivory on the top. So just grab a pink krylon and go to town, trust me it works.
OK I think I've found my favoured method to painting Fists. I've been looking at so many methods many of which leave them too dark or over detailed. This method gives them a nice bright finish and isn't overly complicated. The only downside is I'm allergic to Wraithbone spray. I think I'll test this out on some Phalanx Warders I'm using as tester models. The last method I used, for my old heresy fists, was the one you painted on an old GW advent calendar video.
Demonstrating fixing the mistake (rather than not making the mistake and trying to explain how to fix them without having any visual) was a very nice touch :)
That casual and deliberate "mistake" when painting the black. What an absolute mad-lad! I remember when painting yellow seemed impossible. I love IF but my first chapter had black armor. You can probably guess why! Now with so many tools and resources painting great looking minis is more accessible than ever. The wraithbone trick is super useful as well. A: for the obvious reason you just taught me but also because that's the colour I imagine Ceramite to be so it will be a handy paint to use for weathering. cracking content as always, Duncan!
Watching you has made me want to get right back into collecting and painting again, you are truly amazing at what you do! Horus was outstanding. I'm praying one day you do something like a sisters of battle in a sacred rose theme as white is something i've always struggled to pull off!
I was looking for a different tutorial but I found this one. Very nice armour painting method. I remember when I have found your old tutorial since you were still in GW. You used Averland sunset (my favourite colour) as a base, ushabti bone as a drybrush and Casandora yellow as a finish. Then optional dorn yellow for highlights. I've never forgot this method and I'm using it since then. So I just wanted to say thank you for this old tutorial.
Thanks for showing how to fix those mistakes. Most channels just say don't worry about mistakes, you can fix them later, but never really mention how to actually do it.
Really excited with how well the layer over the contrast turned out! I've been using Averland Sunset as my base color over a dark brown/off-white zenithal prime, but that looks fantastic and I'm going to try this on my new Mark VI Tacticals.
Great video, guys! I really appreciate you covering the rationale behind your approach and providing visual examples of how to correct or minimize mistakes. Keep up the awesome work!
Wow, those first two steps make it look fantastic full stop! I have always been "Fists curious", but the yellow scheme was a turnoff! This looks doable!
This is going to be my first foray into painting miniatures. Going to get a MKVI Tactical Squad and follow this colour scheme, thanks for laying it all out so simply!
Glad we could help. If you are just starting out, we have a full course on the fundamentals of miniature painting over at our website (www.duncanrhodes.com) that may be of interest.
Thanks also for suggesting the Artists Opus brushes which come in a more traditional numbered system of sizes, like the old Humbrol brushes I used when I was first painting miniatures
It is crazy to see the difference between Iyanden Yellow and the new Imperial Fist contrast, the new yellow is soooo smooth and perfectly applies, even on flat surfaces. Incredible medium, great pigment. I think Iyanden Yellow's better at staining the recesses but the finish on Imperial Fist is so perfect, I don't mind going in myself to punch them up a bit if necessary.
Great tutorial, that yellow looks really crisp! Would you recommend the same process for painting Imperial Fists vehicles too, or will the contrast paint pool too much on the large, flat panels?
The painting knowledge is invaluable. Thank you for this. But the hit on my wallet for the miniatures that I now want to paint? Oooffff! Keep up the great work!
Really good guide Duncan, could you perhaps cover off the benefits of zenithal highlighting for hard to paint colours at some point would be really interested to see your take on it.
Hey Duncan, would love to see your review of Citadel's new expansion of the Contrast range when it comes out in a couple weeks. Were you invited along to the preview event?
With the Corvus Black that didn't wash off the yellow armour, it could be a battle effect of scorched marks or soot fire when the space marine marches on the battle field. Or do you need a darker brown paint mixed with medium? Yes, I had to wash the mistakes off some parts of my models when I accidently paint over an area I already painted. Your Imperial Fist turned out well to serve alongside Rogal Dorn against the Warmaster.
it seems like every imperial fist tutorial i find is always with contrast; kinda makes me feel like i got that averland sunset for nothing. speaking of contrast, are you excited/curious about the new paints from gw? do you want to do a testing review?
I want to ask, how did you managed paint that bolter from its backside? I never glue guns like this and usually paint them in hand, but Iam curious about this one Also great work, your vids really help me
I think the most important thing about painting yellow is accept that it’s not going to be quick. The time investment will be worth it but you’re not going to paint them anywhere near as quickly as Ultramarines.
I'm trying my best to adopt that mentality with the white armor on my World Eaters. Also have plans for Blood Angels, so hopefully that break things up a bit.
It's funny but I've been in thr hobby since the mid 1990s and no one told me these things . I've been painting with unthinned paints for too long . It's a bit of a godsend that videos like this exist now to take out the guess work.
I was curious how you were gonna handle the yellow. The layering up from contrast trick is basically what I guessed you'd do. It really does make things easier. Writing down that trick for cleaning up mistakes on yellow though. Because it really does make the mistake invisible. I'm also quite curious how the newly announced Imperial Fist Yellow contrast paint will look. It might not look too different with this technique, but could be very suitable for other schemes.
Great technique for yellow. This might seem like a silly question but you use a wet pallet for parts of the video but at the beginning is that a kitchen/bathroom tile you use as a pallet?
Your video has helped me overcome my fear of yellow especially seeing how easy it is to fix a mistake. I just hope I can spot the mistakes early! Usually it's too late when I find them. Going with Fists & Sons of Horus with the new box set.
Quite the coincidence that when I finally decide to get started on an Imperial Fists army you release a tutorial on Rogal Dorn and their power armor. Thank you.
Yriel Yellow seems like a perfect match for Iyanden Yellow. Do all the contrast paints have such close matching layer paints? Is there a list of them somewhere? That would be wildly helpful.
I find it really hard to change my style now. Been doing it since like the 1980s. Its sort of a bit of an over wrought style shall we say lol not the best. I need to go back to basics again I think. I can't get my head around airbrushing so. I need to get to grips with the contrast paints as well. Cheers Duncan
Sorry if this is a really daft question but; why not apply the black first then the yellow? Just seems like a lot to have to apply 3 paints, some of which multiple times, when the black spills onto the yellow. Wouldn't you only have to apply the black twice if the yellow spilled onto the black?
Duncan, your painting is, as always, superb. Where are we able to buy your TTC paints in the UK, please ? I need to expand on the few received on my kickstarter. Thanks
Awesome, once the final Kickstarter pledges have been sent, the team at TAG will be arranging distribution in the UK and beyond, including on our website in due course as well as your favorite hobby stores. 😊
I was always afraid to paint yellow but might give it a go after seeing this video. Any chance btw that you do such a tutorial for HH era salamanders or thousand sons? Cheers.
He actually did the Thousand sons a couple years back on GW's official channel! I am a Thousand Sons player so I remember searching for a tutorial and Duncan's was my first! Give it a look, should satisfy your needs
If I used Baal Red contrast for painting my Blood Angels, would you suggest basing it white to give as bright of a colour as possible? And also if the first coat of it doesn’t dry what’s the best paint to match it up nicely?
Can I ask why you don't do the black details first? Feels like you'd have fewer errors on the yellow if you did the soft details first? Is it to make the yellow base coat faster?
Can I just ask - for working on small things, faces etc. Are you using goggles or magnifying equipment, or do you use the camera feed monitor to see what you're doing at all? Or am I just blind as a bat? I know most folk are going to recommend yoctosan magnifiers, which I do use and I am aware of, I always just wondered how it's done for cameras without getting a hunched over dude with magnifiers on his head in the shot :P
Super new to the hobby. So this might be a stupid question. Can i give these guys weapons from 40k? Wanting to use the HH models for kill team but want them to have the correct weapons
I have over eleven thousand points worth of my custom orange space marines (orange is as bad, if not worse to cover with than yellow). The single best advice is to simply pick a different color - avoid those two and white as your main color. If you’re set on it anyway, getting an airbrush to do your priming and basecoat is invaluable, for the sake of your sanity. I will day though, that they do pop and grab attention in a way that no Ultramarine does.
sorry for the off topic question but do you know off the top of your head what are the specific colours for the Sept Markings for the Farsight Enclaves for the Tau?
You know, painting an army even in this very straight forward and wonderful scheme would be quite an undertaking. At least you teach this well, Duncan. I fear that the game industry doesn't even want us to slow down this much to paint, however, with the constant roll out of eye candy. Hooray for not life breaking ways to paint. There are actually too many games and figures for those games out there now :) People can stop blaming themselves for not getting their collections done and start blaming the truckloads of miniatures coming to market!
Mmmm...if you want to give them a go, I can recommend trying our metallics, Sir Coates Silver and Dragon's Gold. To try the Acrylics, give Doom Death Black or Death Reaper for a dark colour and maybe try Trooper White or White Star for a whie. Depending on what you want to paint try any of the Mids such as Skulker Yellow or Sanguine Scarlet. 😊

You can also use a flesh color
Goobertown hobbies fan?
I prefer mournfang brown as the undertone. It looks a lot more grounded than the pink undertones
Thank you i will try that
or if your painting eave metal style, prime ivory or off white, not white or grey
Yep I need this. I’m going to be painting a LOT of these guys this summer
Incredible looking yellow with so little work!
Yes, it's an effectively simple technique 😊
I always wondered how that yellow contrast was supposed to be used. You just saved me a ton of time on my lamenters
OK I think I've found my favoured method to painting Fists. I've been looking at so many methods many of which leave them too dark or over detailed.

Thank you so much for such a kind message 😊
Congratulations Duncan ! :D
Thank you
"Be as neat as possible."
Words to live by.
Thank you for another great tutorial! I really liked when you showed how to fix mistake when using contrast paints!
Can't wait to try most of this on an Imperial Fists 30k Tactical KT.
Very smooth yellow. I wonder how well this will work with the new contrast yellows

Nice video do you think you will do a alpha legion one? As I haven't found one on your channel
I have over eleven thousand points worth of my custom orange space marines (orange is as bad, if not worse to cover with than yellow).
The single best advice is to simply pick a different color - avoid those two and white as your main color.
If you’re set on it anyway, getting an airbrush to do your priming and basecoat is invaluable, for the sake of your sanity.
I will day though, that they do pop and grab attention in a way that no Ultramarine does.
Would you suggest the new imperial fists contrast instead or continue with the current one?
Have you ever considered using mephiston red as the base with thin costs of averland sunset to build the color
you are truly the bob ross of mini painting
sorry for the off topic question but do you know off the top of your head what are the specific colours for the Sept Markings for the Farsight Enclaves for the Tau?
Finally a good imperial fist tutorial thanks Duncan
Glad you liked it and you're welcome 😊
Thank you , DRPA .
🐺
Our pleasure 😊
Will you ever do a video on Mortarion, pre hairasy?
With the backpack being all black and silver would it not be easier to just leave it off and paint them separately?
You know, painting an army even in this very straight forward and wonderful scheme would be quite an undertaking. At least you teach this well, Duncan. I fear that the game industry doesn't even want us to slow down this much to paint, however, with the constant roll out of eye candy.
Hooray for not life breaking ways to paint. There are actually too many games and figures for those games out there now :) People can stop blaming themselves for not getting their collections done and start blaming the truckloads of miniatures coming to market!
We all know that Duncan sold his soul to the Slanesh and that's why he paint so great :D
I’m painting my chaos bases rainbow and the yellow was kicking my ass, this helps especially if I accidentally make the other colors to wide
I’ve used so many of your videos to paint my armies would love you to do one for Ahriman 🙏🏻
I’ve thinned down the paints however I keep failing to get a smooth coat with the yriel yellow, do you have any advice?
Will be doing one tutorial for each of the legion? This is too amazing not to extend the tutorial to the rest of the legions.
I’d love to see Space Wolves & Death Guard/Dusk Raiders
Old vid but do you find Corvus Black smells kinda bad? whenever I open it it's like they used some organic compound in it like the old days...
What basing material did you use to make the base?
Мегахарош. Прям респект тебе, мен.🤘🏻
Pls paint Scythe (board game) models would be cool to see WH like painting on this kind od models.
This is great thank you
Our pleasure
Great tips as always, thanks Duncan!
Hi Duncan. Will you eventually do word bearers ?
We have a full tutorial on Wordbearers for 40K on the website BUT we will most certainly be doing one in the future for Heresy 😊
i'm guessing this works for the 40k primaris marines too?
Weird question but a store near me is carrying your paints- which of your colors would you recommend?
Mmmm...if you want to give them a go, I can recommend trying our metallics, Sir Coates Silver and Dragon's Gold. To try the Acrylics, give Doom Death Black or Death Reaper for a dark colour and maybe try Trooper White or White Star for a whie. Depending on what you want to paint try any of the Mids such as Skulker Yellow or Sanguine Scarlet. 😊
"something like that might happen"

and how he casually fixes it
got me there for a second
