This tutorial shows how to paint Old Gold onto the plates of a Warhammer 40k Imperial Knight with the “True Metallic Metal” technique, following a few simple steps.

Lets start!

1.- Paint the entire area to be covered with gold color, using Metal Color Gold 77.725.

3.- A mixture of Model Air Metallic Gold 71.066 and Model Air Metallic Chrome 71.064 is applied to the areas with peak highlights.

4.- Using the previous mixture of Game Ink Sepia 72.091 and Model Color Amaranth Red 70.829, one more wash is applied to blend and soften the previous highlights.

5.- A wash of Game Ink Violet 72.087 is applied to the areas with deep shadows and rivets.

6.- Finally, all edges are outlined using a mixture of Model Air Metallic Bright Brass 71.067 and Model Air Metallic Chrome 71.064.
