Warpaints Fanatic: Runic Cobalt Acrylic Paint – The Army Painter

Warpaints Fanatic: Runic Cobalt

Capture the ethereal, frost-touched quality of ancient runic stone with Warpaints Fanatic Runic Cobalt. A pale, desaturated bluish grey inspired by the weathered surface of runic stones, Runic Cobalt sits lighter than Wolf Grey — making it the penultimate highlight step in the Desaturated Blue-Greys Flexible Colour Triad and the essential colour for building the bright, cold highlights that give blue-grey armour and icy surfaces their distinctive, luminous quality.

Light enough to read as a near-highlight, yet retaining enough blue-grey character to stay true to the cold palette, Runic Cobalt is the colour that lifts a blue-grey colour scheme from flat to fully realised.
