TN: Shalaxi Violet 3

Games Workshop 20-373 Shalaxi Violet 3, Warhammer Tone Pro

Shalaxi Violet 3 is an acrylic paint from Games Workshop’s Warhammer Tone Pro range, designed for painting Warhammer miniatures. It belongs to the Shalaxi Violet colour family, where five different tones are designed to work together, making it easier to progress from shadows to highlights. Its rich blue-violet hue is ideal for creating a vibrant, coordinated colour scheme.

Shalaxi Violet 3 is the midtone, Tone 3 of 5, and works well as a base colour before adding deeper shadows and lighter highlights with the other tones in the range. Its blue-violet shade is suitable for fabric, armour, magical effects and gemstone details where you want to create depth and balanced colour transitions.

Warhammer Tone Pro consists of 30 colour families, each containing five tones, from Tone 1, the darkest, to Tone 5, the lightest. The paints can be used for basecoating, layering, highlighting, glazing and drybrushing. Mixing the paint with Shading Medium allows you to create a shade or glaze, while Blending Medium extends drying time for smoother colour transitions. The paint comes in a 12 ml pot.
