So I'm planning a scheme for my Slaanesh based off cheetahs for the deamonettes - so general yellow back/white front with brown spots with the colour moving toward a reddy brown on the claws/pincers/talons, with black for their leathers/armour and gold for decorations/bangles etc... Unsure what hair and cloth will be as yet.

However I'm also trying to work out what to do for the seekers and was considering keeping with the feline theme and perhaps doing them in a kind of tiger effect (whites, oranges/reds, blacks). For the scales along the back I was considering using a colourshift paint just to add something a little different to the regular colours and to make them stand out a touch.



My two concerns/questions are

1) How well do colourshift blend into regular metallic and paints. Is there a chance that using colourshift is going to stand out too much like a sore thumb against the regular paints I'm using (though I was considering using some of that "real gold" gold paint for decorative features on the models)

2) What colourshift (assuming its a good idea) would you suggest. I've had a quick look around and Greenstuff Worlds Burning Gold and Nebula Copper both look like the might work - though its hard to judge based on videos (burning gold looks more greeny/yellow though?)
