Army Painter Colour Primer - Plate Mail Metal (400ml)

Undercoating a knight's worth of armour by hand is nobody's idea of a good evening. Plate Mail Metal hands you a gunmetal steel basecoat straight from the can — matt enough that other Warpaints sit over it perfectly, yet metallic enough to leave bare on chainmail, blades and battle-worn hulls.

At a glance

Why it's good

• Lays down a smooth, even coat while keeping fine detail crisp
• A ready-made metal basecoat for knights, war machines and anything armoured
• Drinks up a dark wash for instant depth and grime

Base a whole regiment of armoured infantry in the time it'd take to hand-paint one, then let a wash do the shading for you.

The fast lane to a metal army. Follow up with a Basecoating Brush for the tidy-up and a Quickshade wash to sink into the recesses.
