Phalanx Yellow can be used as an accent color on the shoulder pads and other small details, to add a contrasting color to the blue and gold.
- Imperial Fists: The Imperial Fists are another First Founding chapter of the Space Marines, and they are known for their yellow armor. Phalanx Yellow would be perfect for painting the Imperial Fists’ primary armor color.
- Imperial Fist veteran squad: Imperial Fists veterans are elite troops who are hand picked from the main force. They are known for their elite yellow armour and as such, Phalanx Yellow will be a perfect fit to paint their power armor.
