John Blanche Masterclass: Grim Rust

Grim Rust is perfectly suited to battle-scarred armour, ancient weapons, industrial machinery, ruined scenery, and heavily weathered vehicles. Its metallic finish delivers convincing depth while blending seamlessly into muted, atmospheric colour schemes, making it an excellent choice for miniatures where age, conflict, and history are central to the narrative.

Powered by The Army Painter's exclusive mica and aluminium formulation, this metallic paint combines outstanding opacity with a brilliant reflective finish. The smooth consistency makes application effortless while preserving the crisp sculpted details that define high-quality miniatures, and it works exceptionally well alongside washes, drybrushing, and advanced weathering techniques.

Its versatility makes it equally at home in fantasy, science-fiction, and historical miniature painting.

A superb metallic addition for hobbyists looking to recreate the textured, atmospheric finishes that define the unmistakable artistic vision of John Blanche while benefiting from the advanced performance of The Army Painter's metallic paint technology.
