Cheers! Maybe stick to the basic colours and get the highlight colours later - just to check you enjoy it haha - you can always go back and add the highlights later
@ThePaintingCoach appreciate the suggestion but I'm already in it to win it bud. Been building my army all week and it's the single most therapeutic endeavor I have embarked upon in years. For the Fmporer! Thanks again 💪🏻
Awesome thank you for making this video! I've got some Custodes coming in the mail and I've been unsure if I should prime black or Ret Armor, and the weapon blades having been giving me a a little anxiety because I've never painted anything like that design before. This video was very helpful!
Pretty. I have used somewhat similar recipe for my own units, but I got some new ideas for contrast. . Only big downside is how I'm out of Retributor spray and I dont have chance to resupply. GW international distribution for their sprays has been first restricted (only black and white available) and then completely unavailable for the whole year. Covid has really hit their ability to supply their customers outside of their biggest markets. Huge demand, zero change to buy. I have been stuck painting TS and Custodes with black primer and adding the gold undercoat by hand. I aamtempted to buy a new compressor just for airbrush.
@@ThePaintingCoach keep going man! Could you do a tutorial of space sharks? Or raven guard! I know they have simple colour schemes but I would so love to see what & how you do them!
I've got an odd one I'd love to see. I'd love to see you do the first Legion, the Dark angels in their 30k/Heresy era colors, maybe on one of the Praetors or the knights Cenobium set. I figure you're usually doing colorful and brighter units. Why not try something a little darker ans classic
@@ThePaintingCoach I can't wait to see that! Your videos have helped me over the last 2 years in the hobby since I started collecting and painting. Love your work, and hope to keep seeing more and more from you.
Great video, i will try to paint my custodes in the same way. But a lot of people complained about the retributor gold primer like its not the same as pot version or it came out a spray in an awful way or it had bad coverage. You also used the primer and your figure is 10/10. Do you have some tips for this primer?
Hey man! Awesome paint. Quick question. Can you link the video you are speaking of at 2:27. I'm new at painting and my biggest problem is when painting cloak. Thx a lot!
Thanks - welcome to the hobby! I was referring to the video on the screen - but check out some of my other content with cloaks that might help - I have some #shorts with red and blue you can access via my channel page
@@ThePaintingCoach My duuuuude thats awesome! I'm currently painting my entire Custodes army, using this video as a guide. Love the look. I'd love for you to do a video specifically about painting the vertus praetors! Looking forward to what you put out!
Is it possible to prime resin custodes with retributor armour spray can? i am currently using vallejo grey beforehand. is that even necessary though? love your paint job, great tutorial and to the point.
@@ThePaintingCoach cool thanks for the fast Answer, you were a great help in finding the right Colors for my pinkish / Gold, guard army. Hope my first Miniatur will look as awesome as yours
Honestly how does a regular guy do a paint job, nvm me with crippling nerve damage from copious alcohol use, im serious please advice. Im scared to buy models coz I KNOW i will fuck up the assembly. I really want to get into 40k so its very tragic
My second custode came out as a way warmer gold than the first :/ I followed the same steps but was wondering what could cause this? Could it be down to how much or how little Reikland fleshade I applied? If so, how many coats would you recommend for that tone you have achieved on the video roughly? 🙂
@@ThePaintingCoach I agree with Ricky. This is good but I prefer the longer form vids that you do. Leaves more room to explain what you're doing and why. These are just a little too rapid fire. Sort of like looking at a list of bullet points if that makes sense?

The Emperor himself would love those custodes. another amazing paint job!
Thanks!
Amazing…..love the fast, no nonsense speed painting….plan to watch this 50 plus times, as I go….again AMAZING!…….love your work!!
Cheers Charles!
That looks really simple but wow! what a result....makes me want that new boxset from Santa!!
Thanks glad you liked it!
As a noob to Warhammer... oh my god Im about to spend so much money on paint lol. Thank you for this video. subbed!

@Smitty8998 awesome - welcome to the hobby!
Ah, you have my thanks. I have been waiting for this for a while. I can now upgrade my Custodes to an even higher degree.
Hope it helps!
Great stuff!! I'm using this as the go to painting guide for my new custodes army. You're videos are fantastic, thanks!!!
Thanks Brian!
Many thanks: I just printed an Emperor model, and I wasn't sure how to apply a nice gold colour. Your tutorial truly helped.
Glad it helped!
I found this really helpful for my oltyx colour scheme. Thanks ✌️
Looking to build a Custodes army soon. This video is perfectly timed!
Thanks! Hope it helps!
Thanks i really liked that guide! The only thing that didn`t worked out for me was the "redness" of the leather
Fantastic! Love your channel and feeling a custodes project coming on! Search for it and BAM painting coach just uploaded one! Nice one man!
Haha thanks Gino - I am not responsible for any purchases as a result of my videos haha!
Really like your short and snappy guides
Thanks!
this paint job looks so good 10/10
Cheers
excellent
Thanks!

That sucks :(
Retributor armour does work well enough through an airbrush though - I have done it a few times :)
Mate. Your so awesome at painting! Thank you for teaching me so many techniques!
Thanks! Glad it all helps!
@@ThePaintingCoach keep going man! Could you do a tutorial of space sharks? Or raven guard! I know they have simple colour schemes but I would so love to see what & how you do them!
Ooooh also Merry Christmas! Hope you have a good one!
I have already done Raven Guard - check the back catalogue :) no plans for Space Sharks any time soon though
Merry Christmas to you too
@@ThePaintingCoach omg how did I miss that?! Thanks for telling me! I hope you can do one in the near future though, can’t wait for the next tutorial.
I have been waiting for this for awhile. Great job thank you
Glad you liked it!
Thank you!
Hope it helps
This video has been a massive help! Thanks a million!
Cheers 👍🏻
Very nice guide and result! You left out Iron Hands Steel, Fire Dragon Bright and Baharroth Blue on the Paints List though.
Thanks for spotting that! Glad you enjoyed the tutorial - I will update the list in the description!
Nice vid! But one question, are you applying the Retributor Armour spray after a first layer of Chaos Black spray?
Yes that's correct :)
@@ThePaintingCoach Amazing! Thank you :)

Hey! Thanks for the comment - I have heard a rumour that when HH is re-released, I will do every legion in their pre heresy colours 😉

Awesome thank you :) yes there will be a video every week until I retire :)
Love your videos. Anyluck u will be doing any world eaters models for 40k. Example "the lord of skulls". There are none out here and would be awesome.
Thanks! Yes I am hopeful there will be some truth to the World Eater rumours!
@@ThePaintingCoach that would be awesome. Lord of skulls for the win.
Cut through everything with dmg 2. LOL
But srsly! great video! :)
Thanks!
What would you recommend for bigger models like vertus preator bikes and tanks? Same approach but maybe a light dry brush for the liberator gold?
Yes I think that would work
I think this video is my excuse to buy custodes now😅
Haha! I am not responsible for any purchases my videos cause 🤣
Awsome vid
Thanks!
If I don't have a airbrush could I still accomplish this by hand? It looks stunning
Yes of course
Hello Sir., Fantastic video.
At 2.27 can you put the link to the video that shows the process to paint the cloack
Thank you
would you change anything for painting bikes and characters? i could use some ideas for how to see the difference in my HQ´s and everyone else
Have a look at my videos - I did Trajann Valoris recently and talked about exactly this. I wouldn't change much for bikes
Hey loved this tutorial would you mind doing one on The Solar Watch Custodes?
Thanks! I won't get chance but check out my White Scars tutorial for easy white armour
@@ThePaintingCoach ok I will thank you!
No problem
Wait is that a Newport/Cardiff accent I hear???? Sub!!!! Oh and great content!
Thanks - a bit further west I'm afraid!
@@ThePaintingCoach even more of a reason to sub
Thanks I appreciate it!
Did you spray the model with a black primer first, before you sprayed the retributer gold?
Yes 👍🏻
I really don't know why they didn't show the alternate pose for the new model - it looks so much better IMO.
Yes agreed!
This is awesome, but I'm just looking for a tutorial that uses all the standard paints listed on the box...
Don't trust the box art paints - they'll need a lot of work to give you the same box art look
@@ThePaintingCoach my wallet does not appreciate this news. lol
Sorry 😬 it will get you something basic I guess (the box recs not your wallet lol)
Great video, i will try to paint my custodes in the same way. But a lot of people complained about the retributor gold primer like its not the same as pot version or it came out a spray in an awful way or it had bad coverage. You also used the primer and your figure is 10/10. Do you have some tips for this primer?
Thanks! I put the can into a bowl of warm water for a few minutes, then I shake it for at least 2 minutes before spraying 👍🏻
My problem with Nuln Oil is that it kills my metal color shine.
It can but the highlight usually makes it pop up
@@ThePaintingCoach Will nuln oil gloss be better?
Yes maybe - I don't personally like the gloss shades
@@ThePaintingCoach Thanks
No problem 👍🏻
Can you use stormhost silver as a substitute for iron hands steel
It's a little bright and doesn't cover as well - you could use leadbelcher
@@ThePaintingCoach Sounds good, thanks!
Can retributor armour from the pot work if i dont have the spray? If from the pot do i cover the whole model too?
Yes it will work fine - just paint the bits you can see that need to be gold
Hey man! Awesome paint. Quick question. Can you link the video you are speaking of at 2:27. I'm new at painting and my biggest problem is when painting cloak. Thx a lot!

Do you varnish your minis after painting them? Not sure if I should bother…
No I don't
@@ThePaintingCoach thanks for the fast response dude. Good to know, thanks! 😃
I just got Chaplain Grimaldus + Retinue and I’m completely lost. Please help Coach!
Check out my Black Templar vids to get started!
@@ThePaintingCoach how would you paint the skin of his Servitors?
Rakarth - Reikland - Rakarth - Pallid Wych Flesh - check out my video on Raven Guard skin
@@ThePaintingCoach you’re a life saver thank you!!!
No problem 👍🏻
Have you ever considered Painting Arhimam or Kharn?
Possibly in the future, although no concrete plans
hi, i was wondering if theres any citadel equivalent of vma's chrome paint?
Try Stormhost Silver
@@ThePaintingCoach thank you
I was planning on airbrushing the gold on.... would you recommend using a brush instead? If a brush, would you recommend thinning it down at all?
Airbrushing is fine - in fact I am trialling some new metallic paints in the next few weeks and will be doing a whole custodes force!
@@ThePaintingCoach My duuuuude thats awesome! I'm currently painting my entire Custodes army, using this video as a guide. Love the look. I'd love for you to do a video specifically about painting the vertus praetors! Looking forward to what you put out!
They will be included in it 👍🏻
Can you do a short on how to paint obliterater flesh?
I'll add it to the list - do you mean the purpley pink flesh?
@@ThePaintingCoach yeah, I bought the chaos starter pack and not sure how to approach the flesh on them
I'll have a look - don't think I have one to demo on
@@ThePaintingCoach where you out of? I'll send you both of mine lol
Haha it's cool - I have actually got a couple of similar ones I can use 👍🏻
These models look like they could fit nearly seamlessly into AoS.
Beautiful paintwork as always!!
What brand and type of brushes are you using?
Thanks - I use a whole range - but mainly W&N Series 7, size 1 and 0
Is the Baharroth blue your'e using the 'layer' variant or the 'edge' one? 🙂
Layer version 👍🏻
@@ThePaintingCoach Thanks bud 👍
Is it possible to prime resin custodes with retributor armour spray can? i am currently using vallejo grey beforehand. is that even necessary though? love your paint job, great tutorial and to the point.
Thanks! I don't see why not - although testing on a spare part is always a good idea!
@@ThePaintingCoach ill do that! Thanks a bunch :)
No problem
What color do you use foe the blade champion base? I'm struggling as I've never done stone before 😅
Check my tutorials - I have a couple on stone 👍🏻
@@ThePaintingCoach Just had a look. Exactly what I needed, thanks bud! 😊👍
Great!
Do you varnish after?
I tend not to bother
Considering I wanna build a Custodes army this came out at the perfect time for me. Any plans on doing a tutorial for the Shadow Watchers shield host?
Hope the video helps! No plans at the moment for any more custodes
How do you water down your paints? The khorne red paint on the brush looks thick. Have I been thinning my paints too much!?
In that instance I think I had too much paint on my brush! I've got a video on how I thin my paints - check it out!
@@ThePaintingCoach Ah, thank you. I'll check it out.
No problem
What Color did you use for the Boots? Just Abadon Black and Mechanic Standart Grey?
Yes on the model that has them visible
@@ThePaintingCoach cool thanks for the fast Answer, you were a great help in finding the right Colors for my pinkish / Gold, guard army. Hope my first Miniatur will look as awesome as yours
No problem! Feel free to tag me on instagram!
Hey, I'm complete newbie, wanna start with custodes. How did you paint the golden base?
Welcome to the hobby! I used Retributor Armour spray
@@ThePaintingCoach Before u sprayed it, did u use a primer?
Yes I use chaos black - although you don't have to - if you do, make sure you do lots of light coats
How are these minis so big? Are they something like Terminator armored space marines? THey are way bigger than other AC minis.
They are slightly bigger than a standard Terminator
@@ThePaintingCoach i can see that, but how ? they are GW minis or some 3rd party 3d printed ones ? Never saw this mini before and it's epic.
They are GW minis - Allarus Terminators
@@ThePaintingCoach cheers mate
No worries

No problem
well fuuuuck what if i dont have to spray??? i have retributor armor paint ??
Yep fine
👀: Ok
🧠: Easy
🙌:💀
This tutorial is made for Henry Cavill!
Haha I hope he sees it! Although I'm sure he doesn't need any help from me!
Any tips for getting the shading on my custodes breasts to look good?
I really don't like this new format. It's hard to keep track of what your doing like the first model on the right.
Thanks for the feedback Ricky - I appreciate it!
@@ThePaintingCoach I agree with Ricky. This is good but I prefer the longer form vids that you do. Leaves more room to explain what you're doing and why. These are just a little too rapid fire. Sort of like looking at a list of bullet points if that makes sense?
