Bladeguard Test Scheme
Wanted to give yellow another shot, and to simplify the scheme (prefer a black aquila to dark red). This was built up from a base of Vallejo Sun yellow (recess Reikland, sponged on moon yellow, 1:1 glaze of Cassandora+Lahmian, edge highlights of toxic yellow and bone white).
Even so, part of me feels the yellow tonal range isn't as strong as it could be; it feels like there's a very fine line between going too orange and too "lemony".
I really like the lore of the second company and was thinking of building up a force based on them. The reddish gold I used for the Iron Halo, sword hilt and relics could work (it reads a bit darker when not directly underneath my painting lamps), but "yellow on yellow" pauldron trim might be the way to go, as long as it's separated with panel lining and there's some battle damage applied to break up all the yellow?
