The Army Painter – John Blanche Masterclass: Heavy Metal – WP4019P

Colour: Dark steel grey
Finish: Metallic
Contents: 18 ml

The Army Painter John Blanche Masterclass Heavy Metal is a dark steel grey metallic paint for miniature painting. The colour is ideal for heavy armour, weapons, machines and industrial details where a robust, used metal finish is desired.

Dark steel for heavy metallics

Heavy Metal sits between very dark iron and brighter gunmetal in terms of appearance. This makes the colour excellent as a base shade for surfaces that need to look distinctly metallic, but not polished or shiny and new.

The dark steel shade is particularly well suited to grimdark and gothic colour schemes in which wear, rust and grime play an important role.

Ideal for armour, weapons and machines

The colour is highly versatile for armour, chains, swords, firearms, vehicles and mechanical parts. Heavy Metal also makes an excellent metallic base for terrain, tools and industrial scenery.

Dark washes can be used to deepen the recesses further, while lighter metallics are suitable for making edges and damage stand out.

Excellent for grimdark and weathering

Heavy Metal combines excellently with Grim Rust, Ironclad Grey and earthy brown shades. By adding rust, grime, chipping and battle damage, you can quickly create a weathered and heavily used metal finish.

For extra contrast, you can use a brighter silver on sharp edges and keep the deepest seams almost black.

Versatile for various techniques

Heavy Metal is suitable for basecoating, layering, highlighting, drybrushing, chipping and weathering. The Warpaints Fanatic Metallic formula uses a combination of metallic particles to provide a distinct metallic sheen and good coverage.

The paint can also be mixed with other Warpaints Fanatic Metallics to create your own intermediate colours and controlled metallic highlights.

Usage

Shake the bottle well before use so that the metallic pigments are evenly distributed. Apply Heavy Metal in several thin coats for an even metallic base. Then deepen the recesses with a wash and use lighter metallics on edges, scratches and raised details.
