The Army Painter: Metallic - Mithril

Mithril is a bright, clean, high‑fantasy silver that captures the legendary shine of the mythical metal itself — light, pure, and almost magical. It’s brighter and more heroic than Shining Silver, less cold and sinister than Evil Chrome, and sits perfectly in that “forged by elves, blessed by ancient craft, impossibly lightweight yet impossibly strong” zone.

Why Painters Reach for It

• Pure, luminous silver metallic ideal for elven armor, holy relics, magical blades, and legendary artifacts

• Bright, heroic tone perfect for paladins, high elves, stormcast trim, and fantasy centerpiece models

• Excellent highlight silver over mid‑tones like Gun Metal or Shining Silver

• Smooth metallic finish that delivers crisp edges and that unmistakable “mythic metal” gleam

Painter’s Vibe

Mithril brings that “ancient craftsmanship, impossibly refined, glowing with quiet power” energy — perfect for elven weapons, blessed armor, magical constructs, and any miniature that thrives in bright, legendary metallic brilliance.
