Has GW stopped making / renamed Graveyard Earth paint?
It's one of the few GW paints I use and I now need some more.
Thank you.

i think its now called Steel Legion Drab.

Americana craft paint Mississippi Mud is an identical color.

Yoakely, thank you.

John, I'm a big fan of Americana craft paints and have MS mud. The ms mud I have is a great blueish brown whereas my graveyard earth is a yellowish tan. I'll swing by hobby lobby and check a new bottle though. Thank you.

Vallejo Game Color Earth (062)
Vallejo Model Color English Uniform (921)
Reaper Master Uniform Brown (9127)

(although – in my opinion, the Vallejo Model "English Uniform" is actually more like "Snakebite Leather" or "XV-88," just darker.)

I found the Steel Legion drab to not be a 100% match, if that makes a difference.

Actually I took John's advice years ago and found Mississippi Mud not to be anything like GW's Graveyard Earth. I did find an almost identical match with Plaid/Folk Art color 267 Fawn.

Not aware of Mississippi Mud, will have to check it out (cost is definitely ok).

Isn't it Raw Umber?

Most of the "new" GW paints are not an exact match with the "old" GW paints. They will "blend" so that if you were in the middle of an army, you were supposed to be able to get a semi uniform look. This was discussed ad nauseum when the paints first came out.

I have an excel sheet that was available on our website for folks looking for matches.

If it's not there, let me know and I will send it to you and then check to see what happened to the link.

WarStoreSweetie,

I just 'ordered' the free color chart PDF.
Thank you.

The War Store is Great!
