This video is a quick tutorial where I show you how I painted my true metallic metal Warhammer 40k Adeptus Custodes armor.
This video is part 1 of 2 parts and covers the whole process of painting gold armor. The second part will cover the leather, gems and ropes.
I use this process to paint all my Legio Custodes minis for my Armies on Parade 2024 Horus Heresy entry.
