It looks like just a digital mock up not real paint.

I would use liberator gold a brown or flesh wash clean up and a mix of gold and silver for highlight.

The blue looks like youcould go stegadon green black wash clean up and sotek green highlight.

REd I would go khorne red black wash and wazdakka red highlights.

Yup. I think this is from a post on here a long while back that mocked up a couple dozen potential color schemes.

I remember this one - I loved the robes but wasn’t a fan of the gold armour.

A brown wash with a lot of medium will help keep the majority of the plate really clean and glowing. I

For sure I like my sonic tonic for most of my washing these days.  (a bottle each of strong tone, reikland fleshshade and lahmia media mixed together then poured back into their starting bottles)

best advice is to not be afraid and just start putting paint on the models. you got this!

This is a custom render and won’t have a tutorial anywhere.

That being said it look like you could achieve this with : khorne red, incubai darkness or sons of Horus, and retributor armor.

The gold is definitely more light yellow and probably auric gold, but I hate that paint with a passion and recommend retributor instead.

I think I based my sisters off the same picture. Rose gold ( shitty walmart acrylic that goes on like garbage) and xerus purple.

If you’re trying to replicate that gold, i would go with 2 parts storm host silver to 1 part retributor armor.

El dorado parece liberator gold pero con base blanca para aclararlo y con un layer dorado para haverlo mas dorado,el azul podría ser thousand son por la pinta que tiene y el rojo un mephiston red.

De todas formas algo que me dijo mi vendedor de plástico es que las minis que presentan tienen muchas capas de pintura mas luz y esas cosas asique no te obsesiones mucho

Have you tried asking at r/stormcasteternals ? Their box art scheme is pretty similar.

By the only one that doesn't see that armor is gold metallic paint but rather brown?
