DanPesci Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Hey, so, its been a while since if done any serious painting, but with the ETL coming up i figured id use it as a good excuse to paint the sizeable amount of space wolf models i have lying around. The scheme i had been using for my SW army so far uses adeptus battlegrey as the main basecoat on all my models..however, went into a GW the other day and they no longer seem to have this in spray...but instead have 'the fang'...currently trying a test model with this but its already a bit too blue for my tastes for the undercoat. Does anyone know if you can still get ABG spray anywhere, or if there is a similar dark grey spray produced by a non-GW company that is decent/affordable, got about 60 marines to do and dont wanna handpaint the basecoat on them all Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/289551-replacement-for-adeptus-battle-grey-in-spray/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulweih Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Hyá brother, same here. I still have a small amount of ABG to provide for myself, but I'm a little confused. ABG is from the old "Foundations" line from GW and as far as I know that was never available as a spray-can, not around here at least. There's a grey spray from armypainter company but that's more between the old Codex Grey and Fortress Grey in the tone, if memory serves correctly. That and the lack of an airbrush are the main reasons all my wolves are hand-painted, apart from the black basecoat.

Rune_Priest_Rhapsody Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Ebay or similar sites will be your friend in winding ABG. And as far as I have seen, there is no spray can color that matches it... Maybe it's time for an airbrush?? I've been thinking so myself... Good Luck!!

DanPesci Posted April 14, 2014 Author Share Posted April 14, 2014 Ah well ive promised myself id paint all my models BEFORE spending any more money on the hobby...which is a bit of a catch 22 when it comes to getting an airbrush... weird..i was sure I had an ABG spray at one point but i may just be going nuts (lack of sleep/mondays etc etc). Going to try finish my test model with the fang undercoat and see if it looks drastically different form my other finished guys so far.

DanPesci Posted April 14, 2014 Author Share Posted April 14, 2014 Whaaa...just did a search for adeptus battlegrey on ebay, 3 results, one of which is selling a pot of if for £1,429.11 (buy it now) ....and i thought GW went a bit overboard with prices at times....
