Golden, peerless, eternal — and a nightmare to colour-pick from a wall of pots when you're just starting your Custodes. We've done the choosing for you: ten paints, every one earning its place on radiant gold plate, deep red detail and the Emperor's own guard.
What's in the set
- Base (4): Retributor Armour, Abaddon Black, Leadbelcher, Mephiston Red
- Layer (2): Liberator Gold, Stormhost Silver
- Shade (2): Reikland Fleshshade, Nuln Oil
- Technical (2): Astrogranite, Blood for the Blood God
Best for
- Gold armour washed warm with Reikland Fleshshade
- Liberator Gold and Stormhost Silver edges that really pop
- Red plumes and cloaks, blades and stone-textured bases
Base the gold, wash it, edge it — and your Custodes go from grey plastic to gleaming Talons of the Emperor in an afternoon.
Miniatures not included. Pots come in a mix of Citadel and Warhammer Colour packaging — it's the same paint, Games Workshop is mid-way through renaming the range. A decent detail brush gets the most out of this set, and there's plenty more in the Warhammer Colour range when you're ready to expand.
