Warhammer Colour Layer: Ironbreaker 12ml

Ironbreaker is a bright, cool silver metallic — the workhorse steel for blades, armour plate and weapon edges. Smooth and reflective, it lays down evenly over a dark base and takes a wash beautifully for instant grime and depth. If you paint anything with a sword, you'll get through plenty of this.

At a glance

Best for

• Blades, axes and weapon edges
• Steel armour plate and trim
• Base for washes and weathering

Hit it with a dark wash afterwards and flat silver instantly becomes battle-worn steel.

The everyday steel that turns dark armour into bright, wash-ready metal. Pairs perfectly with the rest of the Warhammer Colour Layer range and a good detail brush for clean edge work.
