Product Overview Retributor Armour is the premier metallic Base paint for gold tones in the Citadel Colour range. Known for its incredible coverage and high-quality metallic pigment, it is the standard choice for painting gilded armour, ornate weapons, and noble details, most notably for the Storm cast Eternals. Key Specifications Volume: 12ml Paint Type: Base Metallic Finish: Metallic Gold Colour Family: Gold / Brass Features and Benefits Superior Coverage: Formulated with a very high concentration of metallic pigment, it provides solid, opaque gold coverage in one or two coats—a significant step up from traditional metallic golds which can often be streaky. Rich, Warm Hue: It offers a deep, opulent gold finish that serves as a perfect foundation for further shading and highlighting to achieve a professional-grade look. Smooth Consistency: Designed to flow smoothly, ensuring that your base coat is even without filling in the fine details of the miniature's sculpt. System Foundation: While stunning on its own, it is fully compatible with the broader Citadel system, pairing exceptionally well with flesh-toned or brown washes to create depth and contrast. Usage Tips Shake Thoroughly: As with all high-pigment metallics, ensure the pot is shaken vigorously. The heavy metallic particles settle quickly, so a good shake is essential for a uniform application. Thinning: Use a small amount of water or a specialized metallic medium to thin the paint slightly. This will ensure it levels out perfectly on the model. The "Gold" Technique: For a classic, high-end gold finish, apply Retributor Armour as your base. Once dry, wash with Reikland Flesh shade for depth, and edge highlight with a brighter silver or a lighter gold layer paint like Liberator Gold. Brush Maintenance: Metallic pigments can be harsh on brushes. Rinse your brush frequently while working and clean it thoroughly with soap and water immediately after your session to maintain the longevity of your tools
