Does anyone know what the new GW equivalent of Boltgun Metal is? I'm out recently and am about to order a new load of paint, but GW has added/changed most of the names it seems.

Leadbelcher is the official equivalent, flows much better but is a tad darker.

I don't find that leadbelcher covers as well and has a larger grain. It's fine but not as good as boltgun as far as I am concerned.

The rarefied atmosphere

the vallejo game colour is the best i've used.

The USS Orinoco was a Federation Danube-class runabout that was in service with Starfleet in the late 24th century, attached to Deep Space 9. It was outfitted with a sensor pod.

Leadbelcher is garbage imo, it seperates way too quickly and has a horrible grainy texture. Army Painter gunmetal is almost identical to the old boltgun metal in every respect, I've been very happy with it so far and plan to keep using it.

Did you know? The Reach belongs to the Forsworn.
