I'm looking to emulate the color found on Hive Fleet Thantanos' tyranids. I'm not sure what brand/color pink this is or how to make it if it's a mix. I'm not worried about which company I'm buying from whether it be GW, PP, or another company's paints but I really need this type of pink. Can anyone point me in the right direction? It's the color on the tips of the claws and flesh hooks. I'd also like to know the name of that particular shade of blue. It seems brighter than Regal.

Tentacle pink

Tentacle Pink is the Only pink you should ever use, just so you get to say Tentacle Pink.

You have to wave your arms about wildly and attempt vibrato when you say "tentacle".

GW Tentacle pink doesn't exist anymore but Vallejo make a very similar colour 'Vallejo, Model Colour, 70958, Pink'.
Failing that try adding some white to GWs Liche Purple.

I think a colour called ,,Imperial Purple" used to be around some years ago. Maybe you can find something similar. It was a kind of darker shade pink/purple.

I believe you can also still obtain Vallejo Game Colors, Squid Pink (identical to tentacle).

I also like Rakham's pink. But it is discontinued.

Thanks for the info I'll try Vallejo's.


Edit: wanted to say thank you for the mention of Squid Pink, I bought that and it's exactly what I was looking for, thank you.
