Yosef Hausakluif Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 I went on line this morning to buy some new paints and wanted to find the closest shades of grey in comparison to what I used to use with my old pots of paint. What is the closest now a days to the old Codex Grey and Fortress grey paints? Thanks in advance, I was confused by how many different grey paints ther eare in GW's rnage now! All I am looking to do is paint up some of my sharks, and want to make sure I have a consisitent grye color, just like an old school PH space wolf armor color....etc. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/274873-codex-grey-and-fortress-grey/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedPig Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Vallejo. I wouldn't even try. Vallejo Game Color, check a site thaat sells it, see what's close. Name is usually close, too.

Fibonacci Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 This is a good start. http://www.dakkadakka.com/wiki/en/Paint_Range_Compatibility_Chart There is also a color conversion chart for just GW paints on their site. http://www.games-workshop.com/MEDIA_CustomProductCatalog/m2320032a_Citadel_Conversion_Chart But for now ... Codex Grey = Dawnstone Fortress Grey = Administratum Grey Some of the colors can be off significantly from GWs old color even tho their chart says they are the same. It is usually best to paint a test bit with the new colors first.
