hello
I just got some warriors of chaos and I was wondering how I coud paint them, im not the best painter so please post your ideas and maybe some pictures
and finally please keep it simple because I probably wont do so well on complicated things
the models I have are a bunch of marauders and festus the leechlord wulfrik the wanderer and i am workin on getting some trolls
thanks in advance

Hey, for a quick method I (although this is a khorne warrior mind) painted armour mechrite red, washed with badab and highlighted with blood red.
Fur and boots (and other brown bits) was painted with calthan brown and drybrushed with graveyard earth, boots highlighted with graveyard earth.
black stuff highlighted with codex grey
all metal areas except chainmail, was painted with boltgun metal and washed with badab
Chainmail painted with you guessed it, chainmail and washed with badab
Bone areas was bleached bone and wash of devlan mud

Tried to use as little number of paints as possible
What mark has been given to your warriors?

Sorry this is a bad pic and ok paintjob I think.
edit: damn having trouble uploading image

You could try bleached bone with some sort of dark brown.

i am gooing to give the warriors a mark of tzeentch because the idea of warriors in bulk with 6+ ward save makes me smile any way thanks for the idea i was thinking similar for khorne any other ideas will be much appreciated

I am having trouble finding tzeentch schemes as well but I just found on the new painting guides by GW, a selection of colours for painting blue, maybe try those for tzeentch?

For tzeentch what you can do is prime black, then airbrush or dry brush, your choice boltgun metal. After that you can wash the whole thing with a medium wash of asurmen blue, then highligted with boltgun metal and on really sharp edges chainmail. Then for the boots and other leather it's just scoarched brown with a graveyard or khemri brown highlight. The furs if you want white can be bleached bone washed with devland mud, then a fairly light drybrush of bleached bone, then a second even lighter dry brush of skull white. For brown furs i would use khemri brown washed with devlan mud or badab black then dry brushed over with khemri brown and then further with graveyard earth or even bleached bone. for the weapons it's just boltgun metal with a badab black wash and for the brass edging it's just burnished gold highlighted with shining gold washed with devlan mud, then washed again with baal red and a highlight of shining gold and black mixed %75: %25. For the eyes i would due a blue which is only ultramarines blue with a highlight of mix of that and astronomicon or space wolves grey. Also for leather you can do chaos black with adeptus battlegrey highlights or even khemri brown washed 2 times with devlan mud and then highlighted with khemri again for belts and pouches, doesn't work so well with boots though (It's what I do). For bone and horns its just bleached bone with a wash of bleached bone. Basing is up to you, I would just base sand and paint it white then wash it with gryphon sepia like I do for my Blood Angels and then drybrush khemri brown on it and rim it with khemri also. Also if you want to add dust affects do a rwally light dry brush of khemri brown. For armour chips you can do a stippling in certain areas, but DO NOT go overboard on it and inside of the black stipple boltgun metal. I know this is ALOT to take in but if you do it like this it'll turn out amazing, it's very simple and yet will turn out table top ready quality. If ou have any questions you can jsut pm me.
