The Army Painter: Metallic - Cobalt Metal

Cobalt Metal is a deep, cool blue‑steel metallic — darker and moodier than Mithril, more vibrant and chromatic than Gun Metal, and sitting perfectly in that “arcane alloy infused with cold energy” zone. It’s the go‑to for painters who want metal that feels enchanted, alien, or high‑tech without losing that grounded metallic realism.

Why Painters Reach for It

• Blue‑tinted steel metallic ideal for arcane weapons, enchanted armor, sci‑fi plating, and frost‑themed wargear

• Cool, chromatic tone perfect for elves, wizards, frost giants, cybernetic units, and anything meant to feel magically or technologically enhanced

• Excellent mid‑metal between Gun Metal and brighter blue‑silver highlights like Mithril

• Smooth metallic finish that keeps edges crisp while delivering that signature cobalt shimmer

Painter’s Vibe

Cobalt Metal brings that “forged in cold magic, humming with arcane energy” energy — perfect for enchanted blades, frost armor, high‑tech plating, and any miniature that thrives in cool, chromatic metallic brilliance.
