Army Painter Warpaints Fanatic: Stratos Blue 18ml

Stratos Blue is a bright, airy sky blue — the sort of light, clean tone that lifts highlights, energy effects and pale uniform schemes. Part of Army Painter's Warpaints Fanatic line, it lays down smooth and pigment-rich, giving a pale colour proper coverage without going patchy.

Best for

• Base-coating and layering by brush
• Thinning right down for glazes, washes or airbrush work
• Highlights, energy effects and pale blue schemes

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.

The light blue that makes your highlights sing. Pair it with a deeper blue beneath it to build depth, or add a good synthetic brush to make the most of the flow.
