The Army Painter Hearthborn (John Blanche) WP4114P

John Blanche Masterclass Series Paint

Hearthborn is part of The Army Painter’s John Blanche Masterclass Series, a collection of colours inspired by the distinctive artwork and painting philosophy of John Blanche. Developed to complement the Warpaints Fanatic range, this warm earthy shade provides painters with a versatile colour for creating natural highlights, weathered materials and atmospheric miniature paint schemes.

Designed to work within the Flexible Triad System, Hearthborn offers a balanced warm tone that sits comfortably between brown, tan and muted ochre shades. This versatility makes it particularly useful for leather equipment, cloth, wood, parchment, bone, terrain features and natural textures. The colour can be used as a highlight shade, layering colour or blending tone to create smooth transitions and realistic surface variation.

The John Blanche Masterclass Series encourages painters to focus on storytelling, texture and mood through colour. Hearthborn supports this approach by providing a natural and characterful colour that helps bring warmth and realism to a model without appearing overly bright. It blends effectively with greens, browns, greys and other muted colours, making it suitable for fantasy, historical and military subjects alike.
