Renowned Warhammer painter Ninjon (Jon Ninas) discusses how he started in the hobby, outlines his painting approach, and weighs in on the new Warhammer Tone Pro paints, which are being showcased in Nottingham with demos and will be available worldwide from 26 September (Japan demos from 3 October).
Warhammer unveils Tone Pro, a 150-colour paint range (30 colours each in 5 tones) that delivers strong first-pass coverage, vibrant pigmentation, and versatility for basecoats, highlights, glazing, and drybrushing. The set includes four new dry brushes and can be mixed with Shading and Blending Mediums to create shades and glazes, with a worldwide release on Saturday 26 September. A promo contest invites sign-ups to win the full range, running through 4 October.
Engineers at Stanford University have developed colorful paints that can significantly reduce energy use for heating and cooling in buildings. These paints, which reflect infrared heat, can keep buildings cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter without using energy. In laboratory experiments, the paints reduced heating energy use by 36% and cooling energy use by 21%. Computer simulations showed a potential 7.4% reduction in total HVAC energy use for a typical mid-rise apartment building. The paints, available in various colors, are also water-repellant and stable in different climates.
