John Blanche Masterclass: Ironclad Grey

Ironclad Grey is a colour that thrives in narrative painting. Whether used on weathered armour, ancient stonework, industrial machinery, or battle-worn equipment, it delivers depth and realism while maintaining the gritty visual identity associated with grimdark artwork. Its versatility also makes it an excellent companion to brighter accent colours, helping create striking contrast and visual balance.

The included Warpaints Fanatic acrylics are formulated for smooth application, strong pigmentation, and effortless layering. Designed to support both traditional techniques and more expressive painting styles, they allow hobbyists to build rich textures, subtle transitions, and dramatic effects with confidence.
