Hi,
in preparation for painting the Souls Wars Sacrosant Chamber, I painted Severin Steelheart. It's the first miniature painted Retributor Gold for me and I have a couple of question about the highlights.
I followed GW tutorial, but after the first highlight of Liberation gold I don't know if the color is visible enough or needs another layer.
In this picture every edge is painted with a layer of liberator Gold.
Could you give me an opinion?
Regards to all

It looks great to me! I think the tutorial also says it's important not to go overboard on the highlight. The subtle highlight you've done here looks good. Less is more.

You can definitely see it. It just needs that final highlight of runefang silver to make them pop.

You can be a bit more liberal with liberator gold if you want. It's pretty translucent, especially if you water it down. Then a very light and careful highlight of silver on some of the sharpest and most upturned corners. Be careful, because if you go too crazy with the silver the gold will look heavily worn. That can actually look really good if that's what you are going for, though.
