Games Workshop Citadel Pot de Peinture - Layer Liberator Gold

Product Information

I decided to create my interpretation of Aethon Shaan’s 1st Company Raven Guard. I started with the Captain himself, using a head swap from the Forge World upgrade set , which significantly changes the dynamic of the miniature. You can see my method of painting the white shoulder symbol on the Celestar Ballista crew video around the 17 minute mark. Night Lords. Aka the marines that should probably have a rule called “Actually, they know quite a bit of fear”. Adeptus Mechanicus: The Adeptus Mechanicus is a faction of the Imperium that is heavily focused on technology and machinery. Their soldiers are heavily augmented with cybernetic enhancements, and their vehicles and weapons are often highly advanced and ornate. Liberator Gold is an excellent choice for painting the intricate details and gears of the Adeptus Mechanicus’ machinery, as it helps to bring out the metallic and technological look of their equipment. So, we have very, very dark blue with a lightish gold and a lot of red. This combo looks great if you can pull it off.

This is the first Warhammer 40,000 vehicle I’ve painted in the 21st Century! It began with a base of Leadbelcher Spray , followed by two layers of Dark Angels Green on the armour plates, I then edge-highlighted it with Waaagh! Flesh . I used Basilicanum Grey and Ratling Grime on the metals, with Iron Hands Steel as a highlight. For the classic red weaponry, I used Flesh Tearers Red and Baal Red Contrast, highlighted with Wild Rider Red . Retributor Gold shaded with Agrax Earthshade worked for the gold elements, and I had Baneblade Brown with Seraphim Sepia applied to the scrollwork and purity seals. Red: Mephiston Red is a deep, rich red that can be used as an analogous color to Liberator Gold. This color combo creates a sense of warmth and energy, making it perfect for highlighting the details of the metallic elements of your miniatures. I decided to paint my Sternguard as Crimson Fists as I love their classic Rogue Trader era aesthetic. To this end, I kept the paint recipe simple and finished the look with a retro brown base rim.

Painting Night Lords

Vallejo Model Colour Carmine Red Base. Just do a single thin layer. This is here just to give your later reds something to grab onto. To help them stand out as more elite Space Marines I added some gold, but kept it quite muted by using Liberator Gold. For cloaks and tabards I used Dark Reaper . I also couldn’t resist scattering a few beaky helms around the rest of the miniatures as they are so iconic for the Raven Guard Chapter. Edge highlighting – The metal and gold parts get an edge highlight of Ironbreaker, and I use the same color for the rivets. For the armor, I do an edge highlight with The Fang and the another smaller edge highlight with Snow Shadow on the corners and top edges. I edge the leather parts with Mournfang Brown. I do a standard gemstone pattern on the gemstone on his shoulder pad. Lord of the Night by Simon Spurrier. A long lost Night Lord from the heresy goes up against an entire planet alone. Until ADB’s Night Lords trilogy this was the go-to for source material about the 8th legion.

Chaos Space Marines: The Chaos Space Marines are the corrupted and traitorous counterparts to the Imperium’s Space Marines. They are known for their brutal and violent nature and their heavily mutated and enhanced soldiers. Liberator Gold can be used to add a sense of chaos and destruction to the armor and weapons of the Chaos Space Marines, giving them a golden, almost fiery look that perfectly fits their dark and violent nature. Adding more layers – I highlight the cabling with Moot Green to give it a brighter look that pops against the dark armor. I edge highlight the Bolter with Evil Sunz Scarlet and use Mephiston Red and Evil Sunz Scarlet to build up the cloth tabard. The eye lenses are Mephiston Red with a spot of Evil Sunz Scarlet. I also wash the leather parts with Agrax Earthshade and Nuln Oil. They are useful, but I do use them far less than the main metallic quads (I bought all three sets); so though each 8 paint set is cheaper than buying them individually, it's not 50% cheaper. Depends whether you'd think you'd use the alchemy add ons as to whether you just buy the quads as single paints. The brighter golds are rather wan-looking and have poor coverage. They need to be mixed with a tan/ochre (say about 1:1) for a first (and sometimes second) coat to help the next few gold-only coats look solid. They do produce a beautiful and realistic-looking gold if you are willing to spend the time on them though, and they are great for highlighting most other brands of gold paint too. We live in dark times. With the Imperium shattering we need new leadership structures to come though. We need the bravest space marine legion. A legion that doesn’t specialise in running aw-

Imperial Guard: The Imperial Guard, also known as the Astra Militarum, is the primary infantry force of the Imperium. They are known for their large numbers and heavy machinery, including tanks and artillery. Liberator Gold is a great choice for highlighting the armor and weapons of the Imperial Guard, as it gives them a gleaming, metallic look that perfectly fits the image of a well-equipped and well-trained military force. Shade the shit out of the entire model with Drakenhoff Nightshade. Really go to town on this. GW reccos Nuln Oil for this, but I feel that destroys the really nice blue you get if you use Drakenhoff.
