The Flexible Triad - Ochres and Tans brings arid landscapes and dry wasteland to life. These colours capture the nuances of dunes, rocky outcrops, and scorched vegetation of desert expanses, dry riverbeds, and barren wastelands.
You can also use them to create weathering effects such as sun-fading on vehicles and dust accumulation on armour. This triad is a must-have when painting Non-Metallic Metal gold.
The Ochres and Tans Triad is suitable for projects across all genres of miniature painting, from historical and military figures to fantasy creatures and sci-fi models.
The Ochres and Tans consists of:
Tundra Taupe
Prairie Ochre
Desert Yellow
Wasteland Clay
Burnt Turf
Barren Dune
Army Painter’s amazing flexible colour 'Triad' system comprises 27 sets of six colours ranging from dark to light (coded as A through to F in the name) within a consistent hue, making it easy to create natural colour progressions on miniatures. Ideal for miniature and model painting and eliminating the need for mixing colours.
This system enhances the traditional triad approach (base, shade, and highlight) by expanding to six colours, providing greater versatility and adaptability. You can select according to your exact needs for varying contrast levels: adjacent colours for smooth transitions or the lightest, middle, and darkest for maximum contrast.
