What Liberators looks like
Colour schemes
Stormcast Eternals — Liberators
The gold recipe that carries the whole army, on the unit most collections open with. Three steps to table-ready and a fourth if you want them to shine.
Sigmarite armour
- Retributor Armour Citadel
- Agrax Earthshade Citadel
- Liberator Gold Citadel
- Stormhost Silver Citadel
- Basecoat the gold Basecoat — Retributor Armour over black. Metallics cover better than they look — two thin coats is enough.
- Shade the plates All-over shade — Agrax Earthshade over everything gold. This is what turns a flat yellow metal into armour.
- Layer and edge the gold Edge highlight — Liberator Gold across the raised plates, then Stormhost Silver on the sharpest edges only.
Shoulder guard and cloth
- Kantor Blue Citadel
- Nuln Oil Citadel
- Teclis Blue Citadel
- Lothern Blue Citadel
- Basecoat the blue Basecoat — Kantor Blue on the left shoulder guard — the Hammers of Sigmar marking.
- Shade the recesses Recess shade
- Highlight the blue Edge highlight — Teclis Blue, then a thin Lothern Blue line on the rim.
Hammer and shield
- Rhinox Hide Citadel
- Leadbelcher Citadel
- Nuln Oil Citadel
- Retributor Armour Citadel
- Agrax Earthshade Citadel
- Ironbreaker Citadel
- Stormhost Silver Citadel
- Haft and hammer head Layer — Rhinox Hide haft, Leadbelcher head, Nuln Oil over the metal.
- Sigmarite shield face Layer — The shield is gold like the armour — shade it with the plates, not separately.
- Highlight the metal Edge highlight
Base
- Astrogranite Citadel
- Administratum Grey Citadel
- White Scar Citadel
- Abaddon Black Citadel
- Texture the base Texture
