Retributor Armour is one of Games Workshop's signature metallics in the Citadel paint range, offering a warm, gleaming gold with subtle bronze undertones that perfectly captures the ornate armor of elite units, holy relics, and imperial regalia. The paint features a carefully balanced formula with fine metallic pigments suspended in a smooth medium, resulting in exceptional coverage even over black primer, reducing the need for multiple coats and saving you valuable painting time.
This base paint is specifically designed as a foundation layer in the Citadel painting system, providing the perfect starting point for creating stunning gold effects that can be further enhanced with Citadel Shades like Reikland Fleshshade for depth, or highlighted with Layer paints such as Liberator Gold or Stormhost Silver for added dimension. The paint's consistency strikes the ideal balance between flow and body, making it easy to apply while maintaining excellent control with both standard and detail brushes.
Citadel's unique pot design features a secure white lid with an inner seal to prevent premature drying, while the transparent bottom allows you to easily monitor your paint levels. The ergonomic shape fits comfortably in your hand during painting sessions, and the wide mouth provides easy access for brushes of various sizes.
Retributor Armour excels at bringing imperial iconography, warrior armor, decorative trim, and weapon details to life with its rich, authentic metallic finish. This versatile gold is a must-have for painting Space Marines, Stormcast Eternals, Custodes, and any faction that incorporates gilded elements in their aesthetic. Beyond Warhammer, this premium gold is perfect for fantasy miniatures, historical figures, and craft projects requiring a luxurious metallic finish.
Like all Citadel paints, Retributor Armour is formulated for miniature painting with excellent adhesion to plastic, resin, and metal surfaces when properly primed. The water-based acrylic formula provides safe, low-odor painting with easy cleanup using just soap and water.
Whether you're a beginner looking for reliable coverage or a veteran painter seeking the perfect gold for your centerpiece models, Citadel Base Retributor Armour delivers consistent results that will enhance your miniature painting experience. Add this essential metallic to your paint collection and transform ordinary miniatures into gleaming works of art worthy of display.
