About this deal

The base colours are pretty standard, so if you’ve read through any of my Stormcast tutorials or watched any of the videos on our youtube channel (here), then you’ll have a fair idea. alternatively for a more brasssy look I do the same except use nightshade wash and then final highlight with a bit of ledbelcher on top of the gold. None of that has anything to do with the quality of Citadel’s rattle cans: Retributor Armour spray dries beautifully. Even if I have to brush-prime the odd crevice and touch it up with a spot of paint, I’ve still saved a ton of time here. Look at their wee nameplates!

A friend in my gaming group, who paints for competitions and, effectively, apprentices under a local Golden Demon winner, suggested I first base in a medium green, then layer copper over that, then layer gold overtop that. Continue reading for more details and two useful tips for painting with Retributor Armour gold metallic paint. A tip to help paint neat lines is to hold the model so that you paint the lines vertically. As your fingers bend in that direction you’ll have far more control painting vertical lines from top to bottom. Step 4 – HighlightI have some characters in my 30k Ultramarines army that I intend to do mainly in Gold. These will be the Praetor and the Company Command Squad (basically the Praetor's Honor Guard). I highly recommend Retributor Armour as the gold metallic paint that can handle almost all your gold painting needs (unless you’re looking for a less-warm toned metallic). The paint pot version is superior in my opinion than the spray can version.

5 best Citadel paints for Warhammer - and what to use them for

I follow your guides all the time,and they’re fantastic. What drew me to this particular one was the guide on how to airbrush retributor armour. It’s coarse enough that you can feel it when you run a finger over it, and it seems to absorb paint like no-one’s business. I’m not sure the reason behind that, but it’s a pain.I had a similar thing happen when I sprayed a load of primaris marines with Averland Sunset, but managed to scrape off the texture with some vigorous toothbrush action. More importantly, it means that my Retributors look like they’ve been coated in cheap Christmas glitter. I have tried many different acrylic golds and this range is the best range of metallic paints if you airbrush, they have the least graininess (I believe they are the finest ground pigment on the market for acrylic metallic paints) to the paint finish and they shoot supersmooth out of a airbrush: Hammer – Highlight edges with Necron Compound – this dry paint makes edge highlighting metal SO easy. Crag – I used Fuegan Orange shade, then a tiny bit of Carroburg Crimson to the edges of the crags. I then used a very thin brush to add some white to the central areas of the crags. This was to give the impression that the more open areas were white hot, while the edges were cooler.If you like what we’re doing here you could really help encourage more content with a share on any social media platform. Hi guys, I'm currently on a quest to find the best replacement for Retributor Armour from the Citadel Range... I've found that the Vallejo Metal Color line is amazing and I love it, but the gold from that line is quite green. It’ll take a few coats of airbrushing to get solid, even coverage. But it’ll be easy going. Make sure you let each layer dry before applying the next airbrushed-layer. Can You Dry Brush Retributor Armour Metallic Gold? I've gotten great results recently by washing over Retributor Armour with Seraphim Sepia, to give it some depth, then highlight up from there. You do have to be careful to go directly into the recesses though, otherwise it goes really dark and needs another coat of Retributor after the wash. There’s just one last thing to show you for this scheme, the power lance blade. You could use this for any of the power weapons custodes wield.

So, my Custodes area little bit more basic than the rest here, but honestly that’s one of the biggest strengths of Custodes in my mind. They look amazing with a fairly basic paintjob. As is my usual brand, I will be presenting the lazy way to paint models that still look pretty good on the tabletop.

Every one has their own secret sauce for the gold on their Custodes. I wanted to go for a slightly more antiqued look from the usual bright retributor armor color. First, I airbrushed the entire model with Vallejo Game Color Hammered Copper, then did a zenithal highlight of Vallejo Model Air Gold. For those without an airbrush, you could easily paint the model in Hammered Copper and drybrush a gold over top. If you’re working with GW Paints, I’d recommend Screaming Bell or Brass Scorpion, then a drybrush of Liberator Gold or Golden Griffon. The main red armour panels were done just like the jetbike, and the cloths and metallics were done the same way too.

I wanted to do my Custodes in NMM (Non metallic metal) but also wanted something I could replicate across a whole army without losing the will to live. After many hours of watching people wet blend / glaze etc I came up with this. It’s not the most realistic gold but I think it looks good and most importantly doesn’t take too long. People have described it as “cell shaded” which I like. The process is the same for vehicles or infantry, I just use an airbrush on the vehicles (but exactly the same colours and steps). The steps are quite repetitive and it looks a mess almost right until the end so keep persevering with it Golds If you have any thoughts please comment below, and please consider following us on other social media listed below: Zatu has an excellent range of games and for most of them the best prices too. Delivery is always fast and I have never received a game in bad condition. 10/10 would recommend. Hair – Added Fire Dragon Bright to Mephiston Red and highlighted the hair, then added a little more Fire Dragon Bright and highlighted the highlights. BaseI have had problems with both auric and liberator, they are both usable but my advice is to experiment with them as just looking at the paint forms reflect how it looks dry. Using pure white, edge highlight the blade, and the inner cleft of the blade, as well as the power nodes I am really surprised that the Retributor Armour is so different when comparing the spray and pot paints side by side. While I use paints from a bunch of different ranges, Citadel Colour still makes up the majority of my collection. Whether you’re painting Warhammer armies, your Dungeons & Dragons character or the miniatures from your favourite board game, you can’t go too far wrong with them. Again, highlight with a brown, only this time use Citadel Balor brown. Again, highlight even less of the armour
