Quick answer
Warpaints Fanatic Night Sky is a black bluish grey ideal for base coating deep desaturated blues. It covers well in two thin coats on primed plastic. For rich green or yellow projects, the Flexible Triad PLUS+ sets offer a broader palette.
Coverage and application
Warpaints Fanatic Night Sky applies smoothly from the dropper bottle. On a grey primer, one coat leaves a translucent layer, but a second coat delivers an even, opaque finish. The paint has a slightly thick consistency straight from the bottle, so a drop of water or medium helps maintain control. It dries to a matte sheen that takes washes and highlights well.
How it compares to the Flexible Triad PLUS+ sets
If you are painting deep greens or yellows, the Flexible Triad PLUS+ sets give you a full gradient from shadow to highlight. The Deep Greens set includes Warpaints Fanatic: Eternal Hunt as a natural green mid-tone, while Night Sky works as a shadow color for desaturated blue-greys. The Yellows Triad adds bright coverage for fire and energy effects. Night Sky alone is a single shade, so for projects needing multiple tones, a triad set saves mixing time.

Tradeoffs at a glance
- Night Sky as a standalone paint: Covers well in two coats, but you only get one shade. For a full blue-grey gradient you need additional paints. Best for base coating specific areas, not for a complete color scheme.
- Flexible Triad PLUS+ Deep Greens: Seven shades from dark to light green. More expensive than a single bottle, but saves mixing time and ensures color harmony. Worth it if green is a main color in your army or project.
- Flexible Triad PLUS+ Yellows: Covers bright yellows and includes a darker ochre for shadows. Yellows can be tricky to layer; this set makes it easier. Good for energy effects, fire, or yellow armor without frustration.
