Andurin Marvak Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 So, I have a problem. Games Workshop no longer produces Necron Abyss, and I have an army whose black highlights (across the entire army) require this shade of paint. Kantor Blue is supposed to be a solid replacement, and it fails miserably by not even being close to the color it replaces. Naturally, this is roadblock to completing my army. I have tried Home Depot and Sherwin Williams at the behest of some friends, and borrowed a pot of Necron Abyss for color matching use, which is still in my possession. Home Depot apparently only mixes latex paints, and Sherwin Williams can only give me an incredibly viscous gloss varnish of the same color. Neither, of course, are good for highlighting at all. So, does anyone know of a company that either produces a darn good match to GW paints that is the same hue, or can mix more of the stuff for me, as I need a fair amount of it?

Dorns Templar Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Sometimes you can get paints from eBay that are no longer on sale. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/273574-necron-abyss/#findComment-3340390 Share on other sites More sharing options...
henrywalker Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 if you hunt you'll find someone selling the old paint. i'd say best bet is to try and mix it. try cantor blue with chaos black. mis a little on a palette keeping track of the ratio and then mix a whole pot with the same ratio Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/273574-necron-abyss/#findComment-3340431 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razblood Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Coat D'Arms Fester Blue looks like it may be a good match though Deadly Nightshade may prove closer, be cheap to try too as their paints are quite inexpensive. http://www.blackhat.co.uk/coat_darms/paintcolours.php You can get them from Wayland Games in the UK or you can buy direct from Black Hat Miniatures. As far as I know both companies sell worldwide. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/273574-necron-abyss/#findComment-3341564 Share on other sites More sharing options...
