Warhammer Tone Pro looks like magic when pro painters use it. So what happens when normal painters try Games Workshop's new paints, and do beginners actually need them?
I'm not a pro painter. I'm repainting a second-hand Blood Angels army one squad at a time, and I own seventeen slightly different reds, so I know exactly how paint FOMO works. When Games Workshop let normal people try Tone Pro in stores, I went through what they found. The thick coats that really did level themselves out. The new white that still needed three coats over black. The self-confessed average painter who wasn't sold, and the people who loved it.
Then I get to the question most new painters are asking: do you need to swap your Citadel paints for Tone Pro? I look at what the 1 to 5 numbered tones get right for beginners, what the paint won't fix, and the one question I'd ask before spending any money on new paint.
A beginner walks into a Warhammer store tomorrow. Would you point them at Tone Pro? Tell me in the comments.

Having tried them, I can tell you, as an average painter, you don’t need to thin them when using a wet palette. They all have the same consistency (a bit creamy). All have the same opacity. All go well on primer OR bare plastic. And they all have the same flow. So they are perfect for highlights, freehand, and wet blending. The 1-5 scale makes it super easy to have a consistent paint scheme across an army.
But one thing:
GET BLACKSTONE VOID #5. BEST WHITE. EVER.
