HI all, so I'm doing a Slaanesh/Nurgle Chaos Legion army. I've been painting my Nurgle warriors leadbelcher then going over in the waywatcher green glaze. unfortunately there is no purple glaze, so I was wondering if washes would have the same effect over metal armor? Thanks in advance.

You can make your own glazes. It's nothing but, a matte medium.

Yeah, if you want a purple glaze just use Druchii Violet or equivalent and add some Lahmiam Medium. How much? Well, you'll have to play with it. I'd start with one part medium to three parts wash and test it. You may go all the way to 3 parts medium to one part wash, but it all depends on your method. You get better results with a few layers of lighter glaze than one thick glaze. You'll just have to play around with it to find what works. But it's a good place to start.
