Hi all,

I've always loved the camo scheme used in the Forgeworld Stormblade reference photos (links below), but I can't put my finger on the colors used. Anyone able to ID them?

Thanks!

I would guess shadow grey and a mix of kommando khai with white, but it is hard to tell and it might be a custom mix. Also the pics have different tints to them, the top one is more green.

I emailed the FW team once with the same query - they said that the scheme was achieved using an airbrush and a mix of colours, but didn't specify which. I would imagine that they probably use non-citadel colours too.

FW is very fond of their airbrushes. It could be Shadow Grey thinned with alcohol (which will brighten it a bit) and sprayed on but if they claim to use a custom mix then its going to be nearly impossible reproduce the exact color. Just a thought
