Army Painter John Blanche Masterclass Ironclad Grey

Ironclad Grey is a dark, industrial grey from The Army Painter John Blanche Masterclass range for armour, weapons, machinery, stone, and other surfaces that need a cold, muted foundation. It is particularly useful when pure black would be too heavy but a lighter grey would take too much visual weight away from the rest of the miniature.

Use Ironclad Grey for armour plates, mechanical components, dark clothing, weapons, or as a base for worn industrial surfaces. Within a Blanchitsu colour palette, a restrained grey like this works naturally alongside weathered metals, earthy colours, pale skin, and stronger accent colours without competing for attention.

Ironclad Grey is a useful workhorse colour for building dark neutral areas while still leaving room to add deeper shadows, lighter edge highlights, dirt, and weathering.
