Wesley Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Hello, I had a quick question I hope someone would know the answer to. Is Relictor Gold from GW's Air line of paints the same colour as Retributor Armour from GW's Base line of paints? Trying to airbrush a Stormcast army and the Retributor Armour did not work so well through an airbrush so looking for alternatives that would still allow me to follow GW's Stormcast painting guide; painting them the base Stormcast colours. Please let me know; thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuneBrush Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Sadly not, Relictor Gold Air is the same as the layer paint of the same name. I've not tried airbrushing Retributor Armour yet (I do plan to), what did you use to thin it down with as I've found not all thinners are equal when it comes to GW paints. Also what needle size are you running? Anything smaller than 0.3 you'll struggle with some metallics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please let me know; thanks!A great alternative to GW's retributor armor is Vallejo's Game Air glorious gold. Goes through the airbrush really well. And after a shade of Reikland fleshshade I find it impossible to spot the difference.It makes a great combo for painting stormcast: first spray glorious gold through the airbrush (over a copper/brown undercoat). Then use Retributor for all kinds of details afterwards because it covers so well with a brush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems all the other Air paints have a Layer version still available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do recall being told that there was an airbrush only metallic... I'm still fairly positive it's lighter in colour than Retributor Armour - I may need to pick up a pot to experiment gold trim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
