Product Information
Full details
Auric Armour Gold is an essential layer paint from Games Workshop designed for hobbyists looking to add high-quality, luminous gold highlights to their Warhammer Age of Sigmar and Warhammer 40,000 miniatures. This water-based acrylic paint is perfect for layering over base coats to achieve a smooth, metallic finish on armor and weapons, though it requires a solid base layer underneath to reach its full opacity and vibrancy.

FAQs
Do I need to prime my models before using Auric Armour Gold?
Yes, always prime your miniatures with a suitable primer to ensure the paint adheres correctly to plastic, metal, or resin surfaces.
Can I use this paint in an airbrush?
While it can be airbrushed, you will need to thin it significantly with an airbrush thinner to avoid clogging your nozzle.
Is this a metallic paint?
Yes, Auric Armour Gold contains metallic pigments designed to create a shiny, reflective finish.
How do I remove this paint if I make a mistake?
If the paint is still wet, remove it immediately with a damp brush. If it is dry, you will likely need to strip the model using a specialized hobby paint remover.
Does this paint work on surfaces other than miniatures?
It is formulated specifically for hobby miniatures but can technically be used on other primed surfaces if desired.
Troubleshooting
Paint appears too thick or streaky
Thin the paint on your palette with a small amount of water until it reaches the consistency of skim milk.
Paint is clumpy inside the pot
Add a tiny amount of water or a dedicated paint medium and stir thoroughly with a clean toothpick.
Metallic finish looks dull
Ensure you are applying over a smooth, solid base coat; uneven surfaces can dull the metallic reflection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use, ensure your model is primed and has a base coat applied. Use a clean, synthetic or sable hair brush to apply the paint in thin, even layers. You can thin the paint with clean water on a palette to improve flow for detail work. After use, ensure the flip-top lid is pressed firmly shut until it clicks to prevent evaporation. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. To maintain your brushes, always rinse them thoroughly in clean water immediately after you finish painting to prevent metallic pigments from hardening in the bristles.
