Army Painter Warpaints Fanatic Metallic: True Brass 18ml

True Brass is an honest, yellow-toned brass — bright and brassy without tipping into gold. It's the natural choice for musical instruments, buckles, shell casings, cogwork and steampunk fittings, giving that warm industrial glint that reads as machined metal rather than precious treasure.
