Fire and frost. Light and shadow. Grimdark grows.

Grimdark has always been about more than darkness alone. From the very beginning, the legendary John Blanche shaped a visual style full of contrast - beauty and decay, shadow and light, existing side by side.

With the John Blanche Masterclass Series, The Army Painter set out to translate that vision into paint. This is not a reboot of grimdark. Its a natural next step.

Volume 4leans into warmth and intensity. Rich ochres, deep browns, searing oranges, and unsettling greens bring heat and raw energy to grimdark painting. These colours shine on skin, cloth, rust, and battle-worn armour.

This set contains 10 entirely new Warpaints Fanatic colours - high-performance acrylics designed for smooth application, strong and even coverage, and excellent control.

These paints are made for experienced painters who enjoy layering, glazing, and experimenting with atmosphere. They also complement the earlier Masterclass volumes, making it easy to expand an existing collection without replacing what you already love.

The paints are:

• Emberveil
• Gladeshard
• Sunpetal
• Umberroot
• Blood Thorn
• Thicket Grove
• Rootpath
• Hearthborn
• Grove Hollow Shade
• Vineroot Shade
