The new Warhammer Tone Pro paint range seems to be breaking all the rules, but in a very good way – and fans are excited.
This range was one of the more surprising Big Autumn Warhammer Preview reveals, and it promises to change the game with superior pigmentation, better coverage so you aren't putting on multiple thin layers, and improved flow. However, there's no argument better than actually seeing it in action. Professional painters like Louise Sugden (Savage Ork Guy) have been hands-on with the range, and their findings are blowing minds. In one video, Sugden decides to "stress test" Warhammer Tone Pro and its self-leveling properties by splodging on as thick a coat as possible. Rather than obscuring all the details when dry (a common issue with classic Warhammer paints, especially for beginners), it totally levels out into a strong basecoat that doesn't obscure anything.
"What sorcery is this," asks a thread by kamikazee786 with 8.9K upvotes. I'm equally speechless. I've been painting Warhammer models for decades, and this is straight up witchcraft. It used to be outright impossible, so I don't know what deal with the devil the design team made to pull this off. I've never seen anything like it, even from rivals such as Army Painter that are known for their beginner-friendly solutions. (They offer everything from Speedpaint to Speedpaint Markers on Amazon, for example.)
"The age of two thin coats is over. The time of the one thick coat has come," writes niclyx in reply to Sugden's video, referencing everyone's favorite scumbag orc from Return of the King .
