How to paint WARHAMMER Custodes GOLD without paint! 

I've been following this project on social media. Glad to see a full tutorial as I'd been wondering if this was possible for a planned Commander Dante

next challenge, gild a gundam :)

Awesome job. I have my father's gold & brass leaf from his old sign-writing days as a painter in the late 40s-70s. I have it with my paint collection and considered using it, but too afraid to do so, since it is real gold, not the newer fake stuff - I know you can still get real gold leaf, but it is pretty expensive. With your presentation I now have an idea of what to try. Rather than rely on seeing it done on flat paintings. Subscriber +1 🖌🖌🖌🖌🖌 out of 5

YEESSS ITS HERE! Ive been waiting for this tutorial! great looking gold

Very chill but clear video man. Thanx!

Hey cool! Been watching you do this on the MS-Paints discord! Did not know you had your own channel too. Instant sub

This was really great Graham! Love the video, good setup of information and video shots!

Hmm, I have some coloured leaf/foil that I use as inclusions for resin dice pours, but I also have some spare Tyranids lying around... Maybe time to give my bugs some shiny shells! Great video, very chill vibes. Would love to see more footage of you actually working on your models while you're talking through the process, though! Looking forward to the next one.

Very chilled video, although I suspect the process of gilding wasn't so relaxed!

Awesome FairPlay

Great video, and i geek ready to start spot gilding some busts i have to paint this year! Thanks Graham!

So when you talked about priming colors I instantly started wondering how a yellow over red zenithal prime would look, and maybe push some of the shadows with some magenta or violet.

Great Job killer! I subscribed and left a like!!!

Gild a stompa next 😉👍 shouldn't be difficult now you've done a combat patrol 😁

Shinny!

Lookin mint

Talking about the primer I wonder if it would look nice to under paint with red from below and pale yellow from above.

I FINALLY was able to make time and watch this. It's absolutely awesome. I'm going to crack my Custodese out of the pile of shame tomorrow and get to gilding. I was thinking of priming them white, and giving them a light coat of yellow and dark umber ink. What do you think? Should i just go white primer?

Do you apply a wash over the gilding or anything, or just varnish and leave in mostly unaltered.

Noob question, as someone who doesn’t do the Warhammers. Is looks like the gilding goes on the whole model but then only shows up where your metal areas are? Is that because the gilding under the painted areas make the painted areas look different / better, or is it because gilding only those areas would suck?
