AGPO Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 The colour scheme tutorial I want to use for my new Sons of Horus requires Astronomican Grey mixed with Valejio USMC tank crew. Obviously the former is now oop but I was wondering what the best available equivalent is? GW recommend Celestra grey but their conversion chart recommends some pretty dodgy match ups in other places so I'm not sure whether to trust it in this case. Does it work okay or is there an alternative producer who makes a better match? Thanks in advance for any advice, it's much appreciated.

Kaedes Nex Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Citadel's new Astronomicon Grey is Celestra Grey. Vallejo Game Color has an equivalent called "Heavy Bluegrey", Vallejo Model Color has "Pale Blue Grey", and Reaper has "Weathered Stone". Coat d'Arms equivalent might be "Lupin Grey" but I'm unsure about this one. Maybe you can try Googling all these colors and eyeball the color of the dropper bottle and example miniatures painted in this color to see which one is right, but it will be tough to see if it's an exact match due to obvious factors.

AGPO Posted October 14, 2013 Author Share Posted October 14, 2013 Thanks for the advice, I think I'll go with the vallejio option as I'm slowly moving over to their range atm.
