Adeptus Custodes Armor Painting Guide - Part02 Shoulder Pads, Ropes, Leather and Gems

This video is a quick tutorial where I show you how I painted my real metal Warhammer 40k Adeptus Custodes armour.
This video is part 2 of 2 and covers the whole process of painting the shoulder pads, ropes, leather parts and gems. The second part will cover the leather, gems and ropes.
I use this process to paint all my Legio Custodes minis for my Armies on Parade 2024 Horus Heresy entry.
