TheDreadfulSagittary Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Greetings! My last pot of Leadbelcher is nearly empty, and I wanted to order a new one, but then I noticed that GW has some new metallic base paints (yeah, I'm a bit late to the party... ). Could someone give me an example of the difference between Leadbelcher, Iron Warriors and Iron Hands Steel? I would like to use it mostly on my AT Titans and mostly on my Iron Hands. And of course as gunmetal on other warriors here and there. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/358155-new-metallic-base-paints-from-gw/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gederas Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Greetings! My last pot of Leadbelcher is nearly empty, and I wanted to order a new one, but then I noticed that GW has some new metallic base paints (yeah, I'm a bit late to the party... ). Could someone give me an example of the difference between Leadbelcher, Iron Warriors and Iron Hands Steel? I would like to use it mostly on my AT Titans and mostly on my Iron Hands. And of course as gunmetal on other warriors here and there. Here's a way to look at it: Leadbelcher is a middle tone. Iron Hands steel is brighter, Iron Warriors is darker. Grey Knights steel is the brightest, with a blueish tint To give a visual, the metal skeleton on this Knight is Iron Warriors, washed with Nuln Oil and drybrushed with Necron Compound: The silver railings on the carapace, icon on the carapace and meltagun, however, are Leadbelcher.

Bryan Blaire Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Iron Warriors is slightly darker, but seems shinier to me, than Leadbelcher. Iron Hands Steel is brighter than Leadbelcher, but I haven’t checked it in comparison to Runefang Steel. I have been using the Iron Warriors on the “silver” metallics on my Space Wolves starting here: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/299262-drakeslayers-stalker-bolt-rifle-sqd-shading-complete/?p=5348246 Iron Warriors does seem to darken with Nuln Oil better than Leadbelcher, IMO.

smart_arse Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 can't remember where this pic is from (warhammer fest i think?) but it shows examples of iron hands and iron warrior fairly clearly if you're interested in the other paints they can be found here: https://imgur.com/a/BRXOU2U Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/358155-new-metallic-base-paints-from-gw/#findComment-5381074 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MithrilForge Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Iron Hands Steel - Grey Knights steel - (wing area on Nightscythe and Backpack and armour on battle sister) Cheers, Mithril Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/358155-new-metallic-base-paints-from-gw/#findComment-5381301 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDreadfulSagittary Posted September 4, 2019 Author Share Posted September 4, 2019 Thank you all for the answers!Well, the decision is even harder... I will need the Leadbelcher, because I didn't want the Titan to look to different from the others, but man these look lovely! Especially the Grey Knight on the Battle Sister... I might try the Iron Hand paint also but maybe not as a regular base paint...

Fajita Fan Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Try your hydraulics and vents in GK silver, the interior joints with IW, and leaving the midtones in Leadbelcher.
