Ideal for painters at any skill level, these sets are intuitive and inspirational.
What Is the Flexible Colour Triad?
First, a reminder about The Army Painter's Flexible Triad Colour System. (If you already know and love the system, this is the part of the television show where you'd press "Skip Recap" and move on to the next part).
The Warpaints Fanatic Flexible Triad System enables you, the painter, to make seamless colour transitions from light to dark hues. With six colours from the same family, the system helps both beginner and experienced painters layer on shadows, midtones, and highlights guaranteed to complement each other. The bottle label indicates where the colour falls on a range from bases to highlights, making the sometimes complex concepts of layering more accessible. It gives structure for you to hang your artistic expression upon.

The Flexible Colour Triads Expand with Blanche
Warpaints Fanatic Flexible Colour Triad PLUS+ brings a bonus to the system with its seventh paint: a John Blanche Masterclass colour. Iconic artist John Blanche worked with The Army Painter to develop deep, rich shades to match his style of art and play into, as he says, the darker aspects of figure painting. Blanche's work has influenced tabletop miniatures history, and you can follow his footsteps through the collectible Triad PLUS+ sets.
With the John Blanche paint additions for the darkest shades, opportunities abound—opportunity to enrich your miniature's story, opportunity to give your work a grimmer aesthetic, and opportunity to deliberately disrupt the systems you know.
