I'm was flipping through the Necrons codex when I spotted a colour scheme I'm rather fond of. Seeing the Necron warriors remind me of the introduction to Terminator 2: Judgement Day, I was after a colour scheme to reflect that and this one fits the bill. For those of you with Codex: Necrons, flip to page 42 to see the model I'm talking about. It is the third one in the top row of metallic-painted Warriors.
According to this, the basecoat is a mixture of both Chainmail and Armour Wash. Highlighting is done in Mithril Silver. Mithril Silver and Chainmail are two paints I have already, but Armour Wash? I've never even heard of it and the Games Workshop (Australia) site doesn't seem to have it either.
I know a guy who used to work at Games Workshop and I asked him about it. He's never heard of it so I'm just wondering if it is a mixture of two existing inks. The only ink I have at the moment is Black Ink... while the little diagram indicates that this Armour Wash is rather dark, I don't think Black Ink in its own would do the job somehow...
So what is Armour Wash?
