The Army Painter: Metallic - Death Metal

Death Metal is a deep green‑brown metallic formulated with a blend of aluminum flake and mica, giving it a darker, grittier sheen than Gun Metal and a more corrupted, earthy tone than Rough Iron. It sits perfectly in that “ancient, tarnished, battle‑scarred metal” zone.

Why Painters Reach for It

• Dark, dirty metallic tone ideal for chaos armor, corrupted relics, grimdark weapons, and industrial terrain

• Green‑brown undertone that sells age, corrosion, and sinister energy

• High‑coverage metallic formulation thanks to the aluminium/mica blend, giving strong shine with fewer layers

• Perfect shadow metallic under brighter silvers like Plate Mail Metal or Mithril

Painter’s Vibe

Death Metal brings that “ancient metal left in a tomb too long, now humming with dark intent” energy — perfect for cursed blades, chaos wargear, necromantic constructs, and any miniature that thrives in grim, corrupted metallic drama.
