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. The best Citadel paint for gold and brass Gang leaders need a bit of bling - and Retributor Armour makes this gold-plated servoclaw a real eye-catcher. And face-puncher. | Image credit: Caelyn Ellis Nothing even remotely close. Vallejo Gold would be as close as it gets to Retributor -- and that's about the same as Auric Gold.

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. I thought one can would cover 21 infantry models and 6 bikes. It actually covered 14 infantry models (1 Trajann, 1 Vexilus Praetor, 6 Allarus, 6 Custodians) and the bases for the 6 bikes. Dicebreaker is owned by Gamer Network Limited, a ReedPop company and subsidiary of Reed Exhibitions Limited. My spray just did that to me, which I find weird, since for the beginning of the priming session, it worked like a charm. I have pretty good experience from using airbrush ready paints with paintbrush. You thin regular paints down anyway when painting and in this case the manufacturer did it for you.

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. Drybrush the darker metal areas with Ironbreaker, and highlight the lighter areas with Scale 75 Heavy Metal.

I do think the Citadel base paints across the board are really good. But, this particular metallic is my favorite and I tend to use it for all the gold bits on various models. What About the Retributor Armour Spray? A note on metallic paint. What makes it metallic is usually aluminum flakes incorporated into the paint. What can happen in a thin layer the aluminum flakes do not cover the entire area. This hurts the metallic effect.Do a pin wash with a dark brown oil paint (Van dyke brown or burnt umber) heavily thinned with odourless white spirit thinner in the recesses. Use a synthetic round No1 brush. Let it dry for an hour and clean up any dried pools of oil wash with the brush damp with pure white spirit. Rather than scrub them I thought that, it’s only the front of two of them that’s badly effected, so I’ll see how they look painted up. As it turns out, it’s not too bad. The finish clearly won’t be as smooth, but painted right and you can’t tell too much from a distance. Onto the painting That took me about 75 minutes, including time spent waiting for stuff to dry, so spraying the other 6 infantry and all 6 bikes shouldn’t take any longer than that. When I took on Custodes I was happy that the person who I painted them for wanted something other than the classic gold. As much as I love a really nice rich gold colour, I find it pretty overwhelming on the Custodes models. Instead, I went for a striking red-dominated scheme, with darker bronze metallics. Metallic paints generally have poor coverage. Gold metallics in particular have been troublesome for me. It is both a yellow-ish color (which are generally hard to use already), and oftentimes don’t carry the warm-hue and color saturation that makes gold feel…gold.
