hey I'm peachy you could call me Mr
0:03
Goldfinger the man with a Midas Touch
0:05
a spider's touch such a cold finger
0:09
welcome to the painting phase
0:11
[Music]
0:15
so custodias are quite Elite armored not
0:17
many models in the collection so pretty
0:19
quick to paint while sacred to paint a
0:21
lot of people like to spend time on the
0:22
custodies because obviously there's only
0:24
a few of them however in this video
0:25
we're going to teach you some hacks to
0:27
get them on the table top ASAP basically
0:30
it means if you're not in the mood for
0:31
spending hours on painting gold
0:33
Miniatures you can get kill team in a
0:35
night or an army over a weekend however
0:38
if you do want to take them to the next
0:39
step we do have some steps that you can
0:42
add just to add a little bit more punch
0:43
and a few highlights too so let's paint
0:45
daddy amps some extra bodyguards now as
0:49
always I'm going to undercoat the model
0:50
using a spray can in this instance I'll
0:52
be using retributed armor just to speed
0:53
things along now if you don't have
0:55
retributed armor any undercoat will do
0:57
just base coat it by hand with
0:58
retributed armor or if you've got an
1:00
airbrush use one of those first up is an
1:02
all-over coat of riken fleshade don't be
1:04
too concerned about getting this over
1:06
other details as we painted over those
1:07
in good time however sometimes when you
1:09
use metallic undercoats when you start
1:11
applying those base coats they do
1:12
separate away a bit so applying this
1:14
shade over it will help just give your
1:16
base coat something to stick to as well
1:17
so here I am just applying it all over
1:19
the roving cloak even though I'm going
1:20
to paint over that
1:23
now with the shade fully dry we're now
1:25
going to do a gentle dry brush of storm
1:27
host silver this is going to really help
1:28
make those details of the gold pop out
1:30
just take your time and build those
1:32
layers up you're not always going to get
1:33
the best highlight on the first pass
1:34
just work on it a couple of times
1:37
[Music]
1:52
with our gold pretty much done what
1:54
we're now going to do is move on to
1:55
Black Legion this is going to pick out
1:57
any black details such as the joint in
1:59
the armor and also the bits on the
2:00
weapons don't worry if you get this on
2:02
the gold armor you can just retouch that
2:03
back up with retributed armor if we need
2:05
to
2:06
[Music]
2:12
now we're going to apply iron hand steel
2:14
to all the silver sections in some
2:16
places you might want to add a second
2:17
coat such as the weapon
2:30
for our red robes cloak and plume I'm
2:33
going to be using the Piston red for a
2:35
nice rich Scarlet tone again it might
2:37
need a few thin coats for full coverage
2:40
and also when working around the back of
2:42
that cloak just thin it down over to
2:43
slightly and just work in there don't
2:45
worry if you can't cover all of it
2:46
because well if you can't see it no
2:48
one's going to know right
2:49
[Music]
2:55
the gauntlets and other reddish brown
2:57
leather details I'm going to be applying
2:59
word berries red
3:03
now we're going to prepare the gems and
3:05
guardian Spear of a base coat of corax
3:07
wire honestly any white would do the job
3:09
I just like using karate's wine
3:10
especially when Pat mixes it makes it
3:13
nice and smooth
3:15
now I'm going to move on to adding some
3:17
definition and first of all we're going
3:18
to have some depth to the red we're now
3:19
applying rikling flesh shade to the red
3:21
once dry you can always add a second
3:23
coat but concentrate that into the
3:24
deeper recesses
3:27
using Basilica and Gray from the pot I'm
3:29
going to apply this to the plume the
3:30
interior of the cloak the silvers the
3:32
leather and the white tassel one coat
3:34
should be enough but in some places you
3:36
might want to add a second coat to add
3:37
extra depth
3:41
for the blades and gems we shall add a
3:43
tone of blue I'm using Frost Art here
3:44
for the gems a single coat for the pot
3:46
will do nicely the guardian spear I
3:48
shall start with a thin coat so that's
3:50
50 50 of frost type of water and then
3:52
apply a slightly neater coat deeper into
3:54
the blade
3:56
[Music]
4:00
finally we shall add a darker tone of
4:02
blue to the blades and gems for this I'm
4:04
using storm feed on those details this
4:05
will help you give more depth to the
4:07
blade I'm running a little around the
4:08
gems will help them pop out a little bit
4:09
more as well
4:11
[Music]
4:19
so there we are our model is pretty much
4:21
painted to be used on the table top so
4:23
I'm going to do now is base it now I'm
4:25
going to be using Astro Granite here so
4:26
that gray tone is going to really work
4:28
nicely and add some contrast between the
4:30
gold and the red if I was to use like a
4:31
desert tone like sand or something like
4:33
that it might clash of the yellow a bit
4:34
more I say yellow obviously the gold is
4:36
kind of a yellowy tone however if you've
4:38
got your own collections like your
4:39
impairment collections they're just
4:40
adding these guys to that base them to
4:42
matching with that don't worry about
4:43
obviously contrast you want them to play
4:45
games with them you want them on the
4:46
table top you want them to match your
4:47
army do that ignore this so start with
4:50
Astro Granite I'm applying this all over
4:52
the base as I get nearer the details
4:54
like the feet I like to add a little bit
4:55
of water as this makes it a little bit
4:56
runny it also means it's more workable
4:58
around those details so less splodges
5:01
that way I'm now applying a thin down
5:03
coat of Astro Granite to the boots and
5:05
the robes I'd recommend using an old
5:07
brush for this and in some places you
5:08
can just stab with a brush to give a
5:10
nice splatter effect
5:14
foreign
5:21
ly dry I'm now going to coat over with
5:24
rikling flesh shade I'll also be
5:25
applying this to the dirty boots and
5:27
robes too and last up for the base I'm
5:29
going to apply three thin coats of Steel
5:30
Legion drab to the rim this will give it
5:33
a nice smooth finish
5:35
well base dry our striking and quick
5:37
color scheme for our custodian Warden is
5:39
finished and you can literally start
5:40
playing games with your models as is in
5:42
fact you don't even need to do anything
5:43
more of them just leave them as it is
5:44
play kill team play 40K do not come
5:48
under with them
5:49
and all your mates that's for sure well
5:52

5:57
I'll get it right one of these days but
5:59
it is down here I know there's a thumb
6:00
up don't do the thumb down please don't
6:02
do the thumb down because I go like this
6:05
also don't forget if you are enjoying
6:07
this video to hit that like And
6:08
subscribe Button as well because that
6:09
just really helps the channel now if you
6:11
want to add some extra details to your
6:12
custodian Warden stay tuned because I'm
6:14
gonna do some highlighting now we're
6:17
going to add an extra layer of richness
6:18
to the gold and what we'll be doing here
6:20
is getting auric armor gold and thinning
6:21
it down almost like to a glaze
6:23
consistency now what you'll find is
6:25
there's more pearlescent details or Flex
6:27
inside of that paint so it's going to
6:29
really help catch the light and make
6:30
that gold pop now I'm not going to do it
6:32
on every section so like the eagles on
6:34
the Greaves and across the chest we're
6:35
going to leave those because that'll
6:36
give it a slightly different finish
6:38
foreign
6:44
coats we're now going to pick out the
6:46
folds of cloth with wild Rider red you
6:48
can purchase this in two ways an edge
6:49
highlight this method is slow but yields
6:51
better results or if you wanted to you
6:53
can always dry brushes quicker but
6:55
there'll be a lot more tying up to do
6:56
and it's slightly rougher as well I'll
6:58
leave the choice to you and as you can
7:00
see here I've chosen to go down the edge
7:02
highlight option just because I know it
7:03
would be neater and there'll be less
7:04
tidy up to do
7:06
[Music]
7:07
oh
7:08
[Music]
7:12
and on the plane we're going to
7:13
highlight that with a dry brush and
7:15
mephistan red again it's just helping
7:16
that red pop out giving a slightly
7:18
different finish to the robes so it's a
7:20
slightly darker Crimson as opposed to
7:22
that nice Scarlet on the robes now
7:24
before we move on to our next step which
7:25
is to use corax white you'll probably
7:26
find you've got some red flecks in your
7:28
bristles now you can spend ages washing
7:30
it as I do and most of us do but it's
7:31
still there and when you go into using
7:33
white you'll find out you get a nice
7:34
pinky tone
7:36
now a top tip here or a little hack is
7:38
give it a wash and then get yourself
7:40
some black whether that's like black
7:41
Legion abandoned black and just dip that
7:43
into the brush give it a wash off and
7:46
before you know it that black is just
7:48
completely removed any red pigment and
7:50
the worst you're going to get is a
7:51
slightly gray instead of a pink using
7:54
corex white we're going to tide up the
7:55
white rope on the garden spear as you
7:57
can see here I'm just highlighting those
7:58
raised sections on that rope
8:02
next I'm just going to add a little bit
8:04
of water to that white and add some
8:06
crackling light effects on the blade
8:07
starting first I'm going to use the edge
8:09
of my brush and run down the edge of the
8:10
blade and then I'm just going to start
8:12
doing well for a better word some little
8:14
Wiggly lightning crackles just going in
8:18
again I'm doing this quite thin you can
8:20
always stick them up if you want to
8:22
also where those lightning effects hit
8:24
the edges of the blade I'm just going to
8:25
a little dot here and there so it looks
8:27
like the energy is building up
8:32
also while still using corax white we're
8:34
just going to add some dots to those
8:36
gems as well just a little here and
8:37
there you don't have to go t-mad now
8:39
what we're going to do is knock that
8:40
white back on the garden spear by
8:42
applying a glaze of frost tart so we're
8:44
thinning this down 50 50 so that's one
8:46
part frostart one part water and we're
8:48
just going to layer that across and what
8:50
we will find as it dries it just turns
8:52
it from being a stark white to a
8:54
slightly Bluer tone of white so it's
8:56
just not so harsh on the eyes
8:59
so you may notice I'm in a different
9:01
jumper and a slightly different haircut
9:03
as in like one day's extra growth maybe
9:05
two I can't quite tell can't quite
9:07
remember because
9:09
I forgot something I forgot to say a
9:11
thing I did a thing and I forgot to say
9:13
it so what I'm going to mention here in
9:16
my new top is on the custodas we started
9:19
some highlighting with a storm host
9:21
silver we concentrated this on the
9:23
garden space or the silver details on
9:25
the garden spares you can see we're just
9:26
picking those out some of the working
9:27
parts and also the edges of the blade as
9:29
well and there we are those highlights
9:31
are still in your Empress Gardens are
9:32
finished now if you're short on time or
9:34
just can't be bothered then just keep it
9:36
to things like your Shield captains and
9:37
trajan Dolores again these are just
9:40
extra steps if you find the time or if
9:41
you just want to push yourself a little
9:42
bit more now if you want to follow along
