I've collected enough for a 1K army, just need to get through and finish up the painting now. Slightly regretting choosing an army with so much trim as the first minis I'll paint, and even more so that I painted them in slightly ugly colours first and am now having to repaint the Rubricae... But I am excited to finally table them sometime in the future!
Spray Retributor gold + blue contrast = easy mode Rubricae!
Tbh by the time I finished my army I loved painting trim. You'll get good enough at it that you'll enjoy seeing the results you get.
Oh that's interesting, how do you stop the gold spraying over the blue? :o I don't have an airbrush but that's cool, I don't want to skip the fundamentals of painting so I'm working through this army with regular layer paints and shades!
Hit the whole model with the gold, then use contrast paints (I use Talassar Blue) over the areas to be blue. Be careful to not paint over the trim, but it can wipe off with a moist cotton swab.
Ahhhh genius!
