John Blanche Masterclass: Emperor Gold

From sacred relics and ceremonial armour to ancient monuments and battle-worn regalia, Emperor Gold brings a sense of prestige and history to any miniature. Its character lies not only in its brilliance, but also in its ability to evoke worlds shaped by centuries of conflict, faith, and forgotten empires.

Featuring The Army Painter’s exclusive metallic paint technology, formulated with mica and aluminium pigments, these paints combine excellent coverage with a highly reflective finish. The result is a metallic effect that remains rich and vibrant while offering the flexibility to create everything from polished gold surfaces to weathered and timeworn finishes.

• Standalone volume from the John Blanche Masterclass collection
• Built around the Emperor Gold colour theme
• Advanced metallic paints using mica and aluminium technology
• Exceptional opacity and brilliant metallic shine
• Ideal for armour, relics, decorations, and ornate details

Emperor Gold excels on command figures, ceremonial weapons, sacred icons, trophies, and decorative architectural elements. Combined with washes, weathering techniques, or darker companion colours, it can shift effortlessly between regal elegance and battle-scarred realism.

A valuable addition to any painter’s collection, offering a metallic finish that reflects both the grandeur and the haunting atmosphere that have made John Blanche’s artistic vision so influential throughout the miniature hobby.
