The Army Painter – Warpaints Fanatic: Magentas

Create a world of mages, enchanted gardens, and fantastical creatures with the Flexible Triad: Magentas. Use the range of colours in this triad for elements such as radiating orbs, potions, or magical effects. Beyond the magical elements, the Flexible Triad: Magentas is perfect for depicting the bright flora of enchanted gardens, the surreal hues of alien landscapes, or the striking plumage of mythical birds. They also work really well when glazing and painting the variations in skin tones.

The Magentas Triad is suitable for projects across all genres of miniature painting, from historical and military figures to fantasy creatures and sci-fi models.

The Flexible Triad: Magentas consists of:

• Warpaints Fanatic: Diabolic Plum
• Warpaints Fanatic: Magecast Magenta
• Warpaints Fanatic: Warlock Magenta
• Warpaints Fanatic: Spellbound Fuchsia
• Warpaints Fanatic: Enchanted Pink
• Warpaints Fanatic: Diviner Light

The Flexible Colour Triad System is a segment, or family, of six colours that range from dark to light with a consistent hue. This system allows you to easily select paints that create a natural colour progression on your miniatures. This is an easy way to create a colour scheme for your miniature when army painting because you always have 27 Flexible Triads to choose from instead of mixing colours.

The system builds upon the traditional triad system by introducing more versatility and adaptability in colour selection, expanding the conventional three colours to six. This gives you almost endless possibilities for putting colours together within the triad.

When using a triad system, you usually select 3 colours (a base, a shade, and a highlight), depending on the level of contrast you want on your miniature. For instance, for minimal contrast, opt for 3 adjacent colours to achieve a smooth colour transition. For maximum contrast, use the lightest, middle, and darkest colour available in the flexible triad.
