I have a Priest I'm currently painting up that has some gold-ish trim I want to get a similar effect from.

It can be a bit tricky to get the mix right but something like 1 part silver to 5 parts gold usually will give you the over polished look. Something like the gilded handle of a serving tray, a noticeable patina of age but very well cared for.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16070238698927689134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2990982154267636114.post-17429245835516459222013-05-11T09:57:07.483+01:002013-05-11T09:57:07.483+01:00Certainly does make a change from ranks of grim-fa...Certainly does make a change from ranks of grim-faced Imperial Guardsmen!

They are really high-quality paints, I find reds in particular (not just GW) tend to be very watery and patchy, perhaps to do with the kinds of pigments they use?<br /><br />As I say I'll invest in some varnish and give that a go.
