ARCANE PURPLE

The one-coat gradient actually works—I shaded a cloak from deep purple to pale lavender without any layering or blending tricks. It dried fast enough that I was basecoating the next mini within minutes.

I've never gotten a gradient to look this smooth with a single coat before, it's honestly saved me so much time on my army. The paint flows off the brush really nicely and doesn't need any fancy mixing to get that shading effect.

I was pleasantly surprised by how fast these paints dry on the plastic, which sped up my batch painting quite a bit. The only minor issue is that the gradient effect works best on lighter base colors, so you may need a white primer underneath.
