Games Workshop Launches Warhammer Tone Pro Paints with 1-5 System
Games Workshop is releasing its new Warhammer Tone Pro paint range in stores this week, featuring 150 colors organized by a 1-5 tone system for easier shading and highlighting.
Key points
- The new Warhammer Tone Pro range includes 150 paints across 30 colors, with five tones per color.
- Tones are numbered 1 to 5, with 1 being the darkest and 5 the lightest, allowing for consistent value shifts.
- In-store availability begins this Saturday, following a pre-order phase that started in October.
- The system allows for cross-color mixing, such as combining Ultramar Blue with Blue Gorkshroom for varied effects.
Background
Pre-orders for the 150-color Warhammer Tone Pro paint line opened in October, accompanied by retailer concerns over mandatory display racks. Earlier tutorials demonstrated blue and green recipes, highlighting the range's focus on simplified shading and highlighting techniques.
Why it matters
The 1-5 tone system simplifies the painting process for hobbyists by providing a structured approach to shading and highlighting, potentially reducing the complexity of traditional paint layering.
