Army Painter Warpaints Fanatic: Regal Blue 18ml

Regal Blue is exactly what it says on the bottle — a deep, aristocratic royal blue that lends armour, cloaks and heraldry an instant air of authority. Part of Army Painter's Warpaints Fanatic line, it goes down smooth and pigment-rich whether you're blocking in a whole regiment or picking out a single tabard.

Best for

• Base-coating and layering by brush
• Thinning right down for glazes, washes or airbrush work
• Bold armour, robes and faction colours

The dropper bottle keeps waste down and makes mixing your own thinned coats a doddle, so you get the same reliable feel from the first bottle to the fiftieth.

A proper workhorse blue that earns its place on the palette. Pair it with a darker shade and a lighter highlight to build depth, or add a good synthetic brush to make the most of the flow.
