Games Workshop Unveils Tone Pro Accessories to Maximize Miniature Painting Versatility

Key points

• Warhammer Tone Pro paints are now available in stores, featuring 150 colors with high coverage for quick basecoating and consistent highlighting.
• The paints are designed for multiple techniques, including stippling and drybrushing, which yields a smooth finish without a powdery texture.
• Four new synthetic drybrushes with flat tips and tapered edges are available in extra small, small, medium, and large sizes for detailed application.
• A Shading Medium allows any Tone Pro paint to act as a shade, while a Blending Medium extends drying time to facilitate color mixing on miniatures.
• The system maintains consistent opacity across the miniature, ensuring uniform results when applying layers and glazes.

Background

The Tone Pro range, introduced in early October 2026, features 150 colors organized by a 1-5 tone system to simplify shading and highlighting. Earlier reports noted that the launch faced friction from hobby retailers over mandatory display racks, while top painters like Katarzyna Górska tested the line for its vibrant tones and coverage, though some noted quick drying times.

Why it matters

The release of Tone Pro paints and accompanying tools provides hobbyists with a streamlined system for achieving professional results, reducing the complexity of traditional painting techniques while offering greater flexibility in shading and blending.

What to watch

Hobbyists can now purchase the Tone Pro paints and accessories in stores, with further tutorials and demonstrations expected to showcase the range's capabilities across various Warhammer settings.
