I'm looking to paint up The CUSTODES CONTEMPTOR DREADNOUGHT, but Im unsure on where to begin. Ive seen some people base in retribitor gold and some in light coppers. I have some nice effects with retributor armor and Nightshade wash to age the gold to a dull coppery effect but not sure if thats the best way to go. I have really no idea where to start, Im looking to make a nice show piece for a friend but I dont know where to begin. SO if anyone has any experience or Ideas I'd love to hear them.

Look up Ducans guide on how to paint them, it is really helpful

I just watched it, I Like it, Its probably close to what I plan on doing but Ill be doing the Bigger dreadnoughts so Im not sure if I want them to look as worn. or not, I like the pictures on forge world Im not sure On the gold they use because it seems Lighter in shade, maybe a judicious amount of liberator.
