Looks an awful lot like a metallic w/ a black wash overtop. Not sure what GW metallics are at the moment.

Vallejo Metal Color: Gunmetal Grey is pretty close to that.

I think the metallic black color looks good.

Did you try the citadel paint app? I think you can import an image, click on a point on it, and it tells you which color is the closest match.
I have no clue how good it is with metallics and colors that have been washed though.

I think they've used Nuln Oil. Don't know if it's OOP but is / was by GW and that period of inks has / had matt varnish in it which kills the lustre on metallics.

Check out my gallery here
Also I've started taking photos to use as reference for weathering which can be found here. Please send me your photos so they can be found all in one place!!

At present, the app won't allow you to import a picture. You use the camera, touching the color you want to match on the screen.

That being said, I've found Leadbelcher and Gunmetal Grey to be a fairly close match.
