Warhammer Tone Pro: 30 Colours in Five Tones for Painting Miniatures Faster
In its Sunday previews, Warhammer Community talked about Warhammer Tone Pro, one of the big surprises of the Big Autumn Preview that is close to going on sale. I think it is an interesting range for anyone who paints miniatures regularly.
It includes 30 new colours, each in five tones, which adds up to 150 paints. The Ultramar blue, for example, runs from Ultramar Blue 1, the darkest, to Ultramar Blue 5, the lightest. According to the article, the new formula gives good results straight from the pot and lets you use the same paint for glazes, shades, highlights, base coats and drybrushing. The colours are described as intense and vivid, and even yellows and whites, which are usually difficult, should cover well from the first coat. They are applied without thinning, and their self-levelling quality gives an even finish.
There are also two mediums. Shading Medium reduces the pigment density without changing the flow or the finish, so any Tone Pro paint can be used for shading or glazing. Blending Medium extends drying time to make blends easier. A new set of drybrushes is also presented, with curved tips and compact bristles, for applying paint precisely without overloading the miniature.
The painters Ninj0n and Albert Moreto Font have already tried the range and are enthusiastic. The paints are said to be available in thousands of Warhammer stores and independent hobby shops around the world.
What stands out most to me is the idea of painting with a single bottle throughout the whole process. If it works as promised, it would make buying and learning much simpler for beginners.
