Averland Sunset: The Gold Standard for Yellow Bases

The Ultimate Foundation for Vibrant Yellows and Rich Ochres

If you’ve ever tried to paint yellow over a black or grey primer, you know the struggle: thin, streaky layers that never seem to settle. Averland Sunset is specifically formulated to solve that problem. As part of the Citadel Base range, it features a high concentration of pigment designed to provide smooth, flat coverage in just one or two thin coats.

Why Every Hobbyist Needs Averland Sunset

  • Incredible Opacity: Unlike lighter yellows, Averland Sunset has an earthy, deep ochre tone that covers dark primers with ease. It creates the perfect foundation for brighter layers like Yriel Yellow or Flash Gitz Yellow.

  • The "Imperial Fists" Essential: If you are painting the 7th Legion in Warhammer 40,000, this is your mandatory starting point. It provides that classic, rugged yellow that defines the sons of Rogal Dorn.

  • Versatile Across Factions: Beyond Space Marines, it’s the ideal base for the hair of Fyreslayers, the robes of Gloomspite Gitz, or the yellow markings on T'au Empire battlesuits.

  • Smooth Acrylic Formula: Like all Citadel paints, it is a non-toxic, water-based acrylic designed for use on plastic, metal, and resin miniatures.

How to Use Averland Sunset Effectively

  1. Thin Your Paints: Even with its high opacity, always use a palette and a touch of water. Two thin coats will always look better than one thick, clumpy one.

  2. The "Recess Shade" Combo: For a quick, high-quality look, basecoat with Averland Sunset and then apply a wash of Casandora Yellow or Agrax Earthshade into the recesses for instant depth.

  3. The Perfect Highlight: Once your base is down, use Yriel Yellow for a chunky highlight and Pallid Wych Flesh for the sharpest points to make the yellow truly "pop."

Hobby Tip: Trying to paint yellow over black? Do a quick "undercoat" layer of a light brown or a heavy tan first, then apply Averland Sunset. The result will be the smoothest yellow you've ever seen
