Basically, have I used the right colours to make my chaos lord look advisory tzeentchy?

Looks good might want to paint the trim icon on the cloak. Imo

I intend to, but does nobody else think the mini doesn't really...pop?

It looks ok.

But if you want it to make it look more tzeentchy, I would say make the trims a brighter gold. Right now it looks a little bronze.
You might also wanna think of adding some yellow here and there, but only on certain parts.

Hope that helps.

P.s. Check out my 1k-sons thread if you want to see how I do mine.

No problems with the colour scheme. Maybe continue the bone colour on the raised details on the sword? Some dark wash in the recesses will help the colours 'pop' more.

Tbh, I'm not entirely sure on the whole colour scheme. If I could think of a better one, or easier one to pull off, I'd go for that, but I can't think of anything else I like :/

You want it to pop? Well, you need to push it further. Make the shadows darker and the highlights lighter. Remember he needs to look good when sitting on a gaming table arms length away.

Yes I see it, he looks kind of ghost like, perhaps it is the use of all the blues? Perhaps if you painted the cloak bright white with gold trim?

Looks good. If you really want to make it pop more, wash the main blue in black, and maybe change the cape to a lighter blue. Also, the bronze should be more gold. Let us know what you decide to do!

well, I'm torn between two ideas...

trying to keep with the tzeentch idea...or going back to comfortable, rotting, home turf and painting up in a nurgle scheme.

The only criticism I can think of is a lack of contrast, maybe changing the colour of the cloak would make him pop more. Other than that, excellent work.

I think the blue would benefit from a light, purple wash, but that's just my two cents.
