Emperor's Furor Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Just a question which paint from GW would you go for if you were doing the grey scheme of pre heresy word bearers? I'm thinking Vallejo Extra Opaque - Heavy Charcoal may fit them quite well but I was hoping games workshop had a good version of it but I'm not that familiar with all the new greys.

Athrawes Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Eshin Grey is pretty close to vallejo Heavy Charcoal. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/291046-word-bearers-grey/#findComment-3686388 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor's Furor Posted May 14, 2014 Author Share Posted May 14, 2014 I'm pondering on how bright they are, I've seen some images suggesting they are a bright grey, kind of codex grey like, others like the way the ashen circle are grey almost blue and the images in the book ain't clear enough due because I can't tell if it's the lighting making them seem brighter or darker than they really are.
