What is Shalaxi Violet 4 in the Tone Pro range?

It is the fourth tone of the Shalaxi Violet pentad, one step lighter than tone 3 and one darker than tone 5. The pentad runs 1 (darkest) to 5 (lightest).

Do I need to thin it before use?

No. The formulation is made to be used straight from the pot, so there is no thinning guesswork.

What can I do with a single pot?

Games Workshop says one paint can basecoat, glaze, shade, highlight and drybrush. Coverage and saturation are the selling points.

How does it compare with older Citadel paints?

Tone Pro is a new formulation with 150 new and reformulated colors across 30 pentads. Colors may not match older pots exactly, so test before repainting a finished scheme.

Our take on the Warhammer Tone Pro

Warhammer Tone Pro is Games Workshop's reformulated line of model paints, and Shalaxi Violet 4 is one tone from a five-step pentad that runs from darkest (1) to lightest (5). It is a 12ml flip-top pot of high-pigment acrylic meant to go straight from the pot with no thinning. The pitch is one pot that can basecoat, layer, glaze, shade and drybrush, which sets it against ranges that split those jobs across separate products. It suits painters who want a predictable violet step in a layered scheme rather than mixing their own.
