Hi guys and gals, I have a thread in the projects forum but wanted to add this here to expose to more people.

My friend converted an old and broken Be'lakor model for me and it has turned out realy well. The pics do not do it justice and it is BIG!.

Just wondering if anyone has any colour/painting suggestions for this as it really needs a nice paint job. It is obviously a Slaanesh prince but I dont want to go too "guady" and bright as some are.

Possible colours so far:

1) Very dark up to purple/dark pink... I like the dark colour this should create. Whip could be a contrasting colour (bright turquoise maybe?)

2) Using scaly/hawk and blending up.... THink this may be a better colour as a 2nd colour however

3) Painting be'lakor the colour he should be and just doing the lash arm in a colour .

Any help greatly appreciated:

Nice GS work there! I like your thoughts on colours, specially the dark purple sounds good. Not too sure about mixing blue in, but some dark red for the wings possibly?

And as for the tentacle/whip arm, make it a focal point by brightening it up, and possibly give the staff a faded bronze look?

JUst brainstorming here.. Nice model.

awesome model dude dark purple and pinks would rawk. bronze or brass for the staff and im thinking dark purple on the whip, for me the head should be the focal point. but thats just my thoughts

A dark rich purple would be good I think, perhaps with some gilding or similar.

I'd suggest a near-white color, shaded down to a deep purple.
