Warhammer Tone Pro: 150 Colours, a Numbered Five-Step System From Shadow to Light
In its Sunday preview, Warhammer Community covered the Warhammer Tone Pro range, one of the most anticipated reveals of the Big Autumn Preview. The new colours are coming soon, and they look like an interesting release for anyone who paints miniatures.
The range has 30 new colours, and each one comes in five numbered tones, from 1 (the darkest) to 5 (the lightest). That makes 150 colours in total. For the Ultramarines' energy armour, for example, you use Ultramar Blue 1 through Ultramar Blue 5. The paints are said to handle glazes, shades, highlights, base coats and drybrushing on their own, and difficult colours such as yellow and white should cover well in one coat. They go on without thinning and level out by themselves for an even surface.
Two mediums come with the range. Shading Medium lowers the pigment density without changing the flow or the finish, so any Tone Pro paint can become a shade or a glaze. Blending Medium extends the drying time to make colours easier to blend. New drybrushes are also planned.
Community painters Ninj0n and Albert Moreto Font have already tried the range and expressed enthusiasm. The paints are said to be available in thousands of Warhammer stores and at independent retailers around the world.
What I especially like is the numbered tone system. If you know that 1 is shadow and 5 is light, you don't need to spend time looking for the right mixes. I also think it could help people who are learning layered painting for the first time.
