picked up a box of the new plastic pink horrors. and want to prime them white then apply a pink ink. much like the success i had with priming my tyranids white then inking them Devlin mud. he only problem i am having is i cant find a pink ink anywhere gw dosnt have one they used to make magenta ink i loved but they discontinued it i tried reaper and reaper master series even p3 and have had no luck even tried buying a pink craft paint and using future floor wash and making my own ink to no success does anyone know of a paint range that carries a good quality pink ink any help in the right direction would be greatly appreciated

Capitalization and punctuation.

Agreed. Use the method in my elfy tank thread in my sig, prime skull white, then use red ink as the base colour, and skull white again like the blazing orange to give effect. Always been the easiest way for me, yet is more of a simple eldar painting trick than for tzeentch.

Pink is just light red. So try using a watered down Baal Red wash from GW, on a model that has been primed white.

Well, the wash on it's own won't bring out the colour as much even when watered down, as it wants to get to the insides of the model as quick as it can, where you can't see it. Yet, the baal red probably is a good idea, I'll try that on a spare Gwar!dian when I get home over my original method I proposed, when I can.

Les from awesome paint job has a neat recipe on creating washes from acrylic inks.

The inks he is using is called Daler Rowney Acrylic Artist inks (Water Proof)....they make a color called Process Magenta which is the closest you might get to pink with that line.

Here is the link to one of his threads showing how this is done.

Hmm, you should be able to get the same effect with my method, yet is good should you not be able to get hold of GW ink (I have a feeling that my LGS may stock a couple, still unused XD).

I just use anyold ink from the art shop never had any problems with them in 20 years don't now why everyone thinks you need a special recipe ..

Me neither, but if your looking for something similar or exactly the same to red ink, or any paint, give this a whirl. You'll need Adobe Reader to view this.
