Austin Davenport: Setting the Tone with a Powerful Hit! - Elite Prospects

The Warhammer Tone Pro range lands on the shelf on Saturday. Yesterday, we saw just how flexible the new paints are, and today we’re looking at their coverage and vibrancy. One of the first things you’ll notice when you open a pot of Tone Pro is how smooth and consistent the paint is, and all 150 paints have the same consistency. Then, when you’ve got the paint onto your brush, you’ll feel how smoothly it flows onto your miniatures. The paints give incredible coverage – it’s the best coverage so far from a Warhammer paint. Even white* and yellow, which are notoriously difficult colours to get right, give a solid, opaque coat from the first application. The quality of the pigment in the paint is what allows it to cover so well, and it makes painting even those notorious colours much more accessible. It’s not just the coverage, Tone Pro also has some of the most vibrant colours of Warhammer paints too. This really opens up your options for creativity and the different stories you can tell with your miniatures. They also work really well with the existing Warhammer Colour range, opening up even more options for your colour schemes. Finally, the new paints will self-level as they dry.

The new Warhammer Tone Pro paints are in-store from Saturday. Yesterday, we took a look at the 1-5 system, and today we’re learning more about how they can be used for any painting technique. Warhammer Tone Pro can be used with any painting style and for pretty much any technique. Basecoating is really quick thanks to the great coverage of the paint, and you’re getting really solid coats in just one or two applications. The coverage isn’t just good for basecoating though, it’s also for layers – you’ll get really consistent highlights because you’re maintaining the same opacity across the whole miniature. The new paints blend really well, and can be used for stippling. The pigment and flow properties of Tone Pro mean you’re even getting a smooth finish, even when you drybrush – you don’t get that powdery look you can sometimes get when drybrushing. There are four new dry brushes to help with that particular technique. They are each synthetic with a flat tip and tapers on the edge to give a really smooth application of paint. Available in extra small, small, medium, and large sizes, there’s one for every part of your miniatures.

ⓘ Witty Cat, Weibo, editedA highly reliable leaker from France has revealed the (hopefully) final euro prices and specs for the global Xiaomi 18 Pro and Xiaomi 18 Pro Max. A leaker whose information has almost always been accurate in the past has now revealed what are likely the final euro prices for the four Xiaomi 18 Pro and Xiaomi 18 Pro Max models in Europe, with prices apparently having changed slightly. There is also "confirmation" of the specs and colors from France. Alexander Fagot (translated by Alexander Fagot), Published 10/23/2026 🇩🇪 A few days ago, leaker Sudhanshu Ambhore shared information about the prices, specs, storage options and colors of the European Xiaomi 18 Pro and Xiaomi 18 Pro Max models, but some of the details may not have been entirely accurate. Another explanation could be that euro prices will vary, with the higher prices potentially applying to countries with higher taxes, for instance Portugal. In any case, French leaker billbil-kun is now reporting slightly different euro prices and also corroborating the information on colors, model variants and specs, including the reduced battery capacities in Europe.
