Kastor Krieg Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 I'm looking to do a fairly "Primaris revival" Templar force and paint them in a specific "dark-gold-on-black-instead-of-pure-black" pattern. Same shoulder pads, trim and so on, just a lot of that special gold airbrushed over black, gradiented towards it.Thoughts? :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/371335-thoughts-on-dark-gold-armour-for-templars/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowshand Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 I have been looking into using a dark gold scheme on some of my miniatures as well, where I plan on painting the right arms of the HQs, etc. Whenever the new Helbrecht model comes out, I plan on doing a particular color blend similar to what I saw earlier today infact... https://youtu.be/kmnwsJVmpaM Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/371335-thoughts-on-dark-gold-armour-for-templars/#findComment-5731886 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAG Templar Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 I’ve done it before and will probably do my bladeguard like this when I get to them: BLACK BLŒ FLY 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/371335-thoughts-on-dark-gold-armour-for-templars/#findComment-5731956 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karhedron Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Sounds like a cool idea. Brazen Templars perhaps? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/371335-thoughts-on-dark-gold-armour-for-templars/#findComment-5731979 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishagu Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 (edited) Could be good, something similar to the Minotaurs or the image above!

painting.for.my.sanity Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 Over on IG, Sinan Atamer has some lovely Templars using gold much more heavily than normal. I've also been using more gold than usual on mine - both my Marshals are in full gold armour - with the arrival (fingers crossed) of a new Helbrecht mini they'll become his bodyguards.

General Strike Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Ooh what gold is that, Reclusiarch Krieg? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/371335-thoughts-on-dark-gold-armour-for-templars/#findComment-5740688 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kastor Krieg Posted September 11, 2021 Author Share Posted September 11, 2021 Ooh what gold is that, Reclusiarch Krieg? 72.755 Vallejo Game Air "Polished Gold". Looks even nicer in person. I used it as zenithal and I don't think I will even wash it much.

Slips Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 (edited) Big picture. Anyways, Dark Gold is basically what I went for on my Dorn. I mainly used the FW gold paints but the base was Liquitex Iridescent Bronze. After that it was more or less: Castellax Bronze Thallax Gold Druchii Violet wash (the gloss version might work better but I didnt have it - you can see what this does best near the backpack vents) Valdor Gold Nuln Oil Gloss recesses specifically Valdor Gold on large, flat sections otherwise, drybrush over darker gold sections as a highlight Imho, if you want a dark gold that still looks gold without veering into bronze, washing brighter golds with purples gets the best results. Edit: Shot of his back which shows the different shades of gold off better: Edited September 12, 2021 by Slips Felix Antipodes, Kastor Krieg and Brother Carpenter 3 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/371335-thoughts-on-dark-gold-armour-for-templars/#findComment-5740767 Share on other sites More sharing options...
