What is the difference between balthasar gold and retributor armor, and between auric armor and liberator gold? I've found balthasar quite satisfying, auric armor less so. Since I'm going for a kind of grungy black legion look, which would you recommend I use? Can i combine retributor and balthasar?

pigmentation; the retributory and liberator gold have more pigments, making it a good base color coat over dark brown(rhinox hide) or black; auric and Balthasar gold are good for layer use drybrushing on top of the dried base coat to give depth.

Balthasar Gold still sees a lot of use in the Warhammer TV tutorials for bronze and other aged metals where you would want a brownish gold versus the yellowish gold of Retributor Armour.
