Is It Worth It?

Hello there. This is part two in both me and David’s Odyssey to try the sample paint sent to us by Atelier Jeux. I am of course referring to Warhammer Tone Pro paints. Long story short, Warhammer Tone Pro has 30 colors, but each color is split across five shades totaling 150 paints total, which is quite nice.

In part one, David embarked on an airbrushing Odyssey with the sample Tone Pros. Today in part two, we’ll be trying it out with brush painting. Games Workshop has promised that these paints go on for far longer and they are a lot smoother, and they promise a one-coat coverage. A bold claim, and one-coat coverage for even the whites and the yellows, which is insane. They are notoriously difficult colors to paint, so we will put that to the test today. We will call their bluff. Here are the paints I’ll be using today.

Again, Blackstone Void shade number five and Khemri Sand shade number four, which is the yellow. What we’re going to be doing today is simple. Uh I primed two Space Marines, one with Wraithbone and the other one with Vallejo black respectively, and we will split these Marines down the middle each, and they’ll both be getting white and yellow each. I have water on standby, but as they claim, this is a one-coat coverage even without thinning. I will apply this paint without any water coverage. Let’s see.

Wow.

First impression as I’m applying it, it is incredibly smooth and vibrant. My brush is gliding, virtually no resistance whatsoever. Here we are, first impressions of the first and only coat, and un-thinned at that, of the white, and it is incredible. Corax white wishes it ran that far. This is so smooth, so silky for a first coat, 10 out of 10. Well done, Games Workshop. Time for yellow. Let’s open it up, first impressions. Wow, it’s it’s a more uh it’s very vibrant, this yellow, actually. With a little bit of mustard, maybe, in there, mustard yellow. Let’s apply it now. Again, unthinned, first impressions. Let’s go. No, it’s a vibrant yellow, not mustard yellow. Wow. This is on black, as well, by the way. The primer color that it struggles with the most, and it’s getting this kind of coverage. Wow. This went really hard.

And here we are, both paints are basically dried. Uh I didn’t show the process on the Wraithbone mini on the left, but that’s okay, because you already saw the process. And then, naturally, since it is an off-white, Wraithbone, um then it is very much on the brighter side of things, when all is said and done. So, if that’s your vibe, go for it. Even white, straight up, like in terms of priming, go for that. But if you want to skip out on a little bit of weathering, go black and honestly it turned out really really well.

The fear of priming black when you’re painting something white or yellow has all but vanished with this new paint line. What an incredible experience that was. If the rest of the paint line is this smooth because these are the only, you know, we got sent 19 paints out of 150, then this is probably a cinematic experience, cinema. I’m going to go one step further actually. This might be the best water-based acrylic paints in the store. Point blank period. Possibly surpassing Ionic and Atom because the new formulation may have some retarder features there, some leveling features. Who knows, but I saw something there that makes it a lot different from what they already offer.

The only caveat of course is that they’re even more expensive than Ionic and Atom at around $8. That’s Canadian. The price is the only thing holding this line back. Um because even its airbrushing qualities is incredibly smooth. What do you guys think? October 24th is its release date and yeah, look forward to it. If you are hyped as I am, then please check out the pre-orders. Um I cannot stress this enough. It was such a smooth experience. So yeah, links in the description down below for all our social media accounts.
