and that's not gonna happen.
Here is a pic of Eldar Wraithguard and a Seer that bought painted on ebay. I have 10 of each pose of Wraiths. So I decided to continue with that Iyanden them on my army. Is that yellow over bone or yellow over white or....???
I'm going to attempt to airbrush the vehicles, Wriathlords and Wraithknight. I found 2 yellow primers, by Rust-oleum, but I'm affraid it's too thick. It's called Ultra Coverage for 2XX coverage. One is gloss sun yellow and the other is satin strawflower.

Can I load more than 1 per post WITHOUT loading to another site?
Here's the primer, strawflower on the wraithlords and sun yellow on the flyer.

I'm going to guess looking that the 2 models on the left that it's over a black base coat. Without knowing what paints they use I fear you'll have a really hard time matching. They is a way you can get them closer though. If you were to paint your models as close as you can get them, then put a light coat of a yellow glaze over all the yellow parts on both your painted stuff and the ebay stuff you should be able to bring the colours close in line with each other. It wont be exact but it will start bringing them closer to the same hue.

For rich yellows, I highly recommend going for an ochre instead of a yellow for the base. I expect those minis had an ochre base with an orange wash, then some yellow highlights.

Ochre is what.. for those of us not artisticly inclined..
Could you give an example off the GW paint pallete?

ochre is a light/yellowy brown. I'm talking about one on the yellower/lighter side rather than a browner one. Like the color padded envelopes are often in. With a little highlighting, it makes a very good yellow.

Less tan, more yellow/brown (for the GW color).
Personally, I think "Zamesi Desert" would go over well, instead:

Yep. I can't keep track of GW's colors now that they've changed them a lot. Used to use Bubonic Brown, Zamesi Desert looks like iit's probably the same color.
