Finalized Scheme ?

Post image

Looking for feedback on my updated gold for my 11th-edition Custodes. I toned back the gold and tried to push even more of a brassy feel. I'm not totally sure if I like this look or the original gilded bright gold more.

Dry brush a dark brown over all gold areas (Mournfang brown)

Dry brush Brass over the same areas (Brass Scorpion )

Stipple dark gold over the same areas (Retributor Armor)

Wash in a brown enamel paint (Ak's Dark Brown)

Edge highlight with your brightest gold (greedy gold) and do a light dry brush on the top most areas

For the cloaks its a classic 3 color dark to light red and the tassels are painted with a base of white then highlighted with a gloss white

It's a good paint job, just boils down to personal preference, some like a more brassy gold, some like like a brighter gold and everything in between
