Quick answer
The Flexible Triad PLUS+: Yellows Triad from The Army Painter delivers vibrant, high-coverage yellows ideal for miniature painting. It includes seven shades ranging from a dark ochre to bright highlights, making it a versatile choice for everything from glowing auras to weathered armor.
What makes the Flexible Triad PLUS+ Yellows Triad different from standard triads?
Standard triads typically offer three shades: a base, a mid-tone, and a highlight. The Flexible Triad PLUS+ expands this to seven shades, giving you more gradient control and blending options. The set includes the John Blanche Masterclass: Sunburst Ochre, which adds a darker, more muted tone for shadows and eerie effects—something you won't find in a basic triad.

How does the coverage compare to other yellow paint sets?
Yellow paints are notoriously tricky because their pigments are translucent. The Warpaints Fanatic line in this set is formulated for rich coverage, meaning you won't need as many coats to achieve opacity. The included Demigod Yellow and other bright shades provide strong vibrancy even over a dark primer, though a white or light grey undercoat will make them pop more.
Which miniatures benefit most from this yellow triad?
This set is excellent for painting Imperial Fists, Lamenters, or any yellow-armored space marines. It also works well for fiery effects like plasma coils, magical glows, or desert bases. The darker Sunburst Ochre is particularly useful for weathering, rust effects, or creating a grimdark look on vehicles and terrain.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use this set for airbrushing?
Yes, the Warpaints Fanatic paints can be thinned for airbrush use. However, the set does not include an airbrush-specific thinner or medium, so you'll need to add your own. The coverage remains strong when properly thinned. Works with airbrush after thinning.
How does the Flexible Triad PLUS+ compare to the standard Triad?
The PLUS+ version offers seven shades instead of three, giving you more intermediate tones for smoother blending and transitions. It also includes the John Blanche Masterclass shade for darker, more muted effects. The standard Triad is more budget-friendly and simpler for beginners. PLUS+ is better for advanced blending and varied effects.
Is this set suitable for beginners?
Yes, because the pre-selected shades remove guesswork from color mixing. The included highlights and shadows make it easy to achieve a three-dimensional look. However, the price is higher than a single paint pot, so beginners may want to start with a smaller set. Good for beginners who want guided color choices.
