Learn how to transform your Adeptus Custodes from shiny "Golden Boys" into weathered, ancient bronze masterpieces!
In this tutorial, I’m diving deep into the art of heavy verdigris. We’re moving away from the traditional bright gold to create a gritty, atmospheric look that tells a story of centuries spent guarding forgotten tombs or campaigning through corrosive environments.
Whether you're looking for a new scheme for your 10th Edition army or just want to master technical weathering, this guide covers everything you need to know about aging metallics effectively.
In this video, we cover:
The Ancient Bronze Base: My specific recipe for a deep, rich bronze.
Layering Verdigris: How to build up texture and tone without any technical paints and glazes.
Focusing the Grime: Where to place weathering for the most realistic "grimdark" impact.
Final Highlights: Bringing back the detail to make the armor pop.
