Citadel Layer Auric Armour Gold is a bright, clean gold layer paint designed specifically for highlighting gold armour - it gives the kind of clear, reflective highlight that makes gilded surfaces catch light convincingly without going copper or brass in tone. It sits above Retributor Armour and Balthasar Gold in the gold workflow, applied to the sharpest raised edges and trim after a shade of Agrax Earthshade or Reikland Fleshshade has settled into the recesses.
Apply to the raised edges and prominent trim on Stormcast Eternals armour, Chaos Space Marine gold detailing, Astra Militarum officer helmets, and any model where gold is a significant feature. The clean tone works particularly well on Stormcast, where gold covers large surface areas and the highlights need to be visible but not overworked. Also suits Tzeentch gold iconography and Chaos daemon armour trim.
The standard gold highlight for anyone working in the Citadel system.
