Right now I am more concerned about my Kairos (Finecast) , Lord of Change (metal), two Princes, and Horrors. What makes this particularly annoying is that I want a non-traditional scheme to make everything stand out, so I'm trying to stay away from pink and blue. Its been recommended I try a green scheme by a local, but I'm unsure. What do you think Dakka? What could be an easy paint scheme that would make these boys stand out?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/567082/6320769.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/567082/6320769.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/567082/6321076.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/567082/6321076.page GMT
Tzeentch is change, so go with a whole load!

I've gone traditional blue and pink with mine, but I've still found ways to subvert it and make it mine. For instance, I've done 10 Horrors in the traditional pink, but the other 10 in a powder blue, which allows me to field two units of 10 in some lists, and a large unit which won't look like a uniform blob. My screamers are a much darker blue (something around Macragge, but i don't exactly recall which paint I used) but thanks to the magic of airbrushes I've blended through purple to pink on the edges. I've done a similar thing with my only unit of Flamers, but have plans to do some in green/yellow and perhaps something else TBC.

I've also used non-GW models too, but if you're past the building stage, that's a moot point for you.

Basically, with Tz, anything goes, just stick to bright, vibrant colours and it'll look ok, use too much pastel and it might start to look too Slaaneshi, steer clear of red and green if you can, as other Gods have dibs on those, but the right shade and tone would be able to distance them visually from K or N.

If I was to pick a one, non trad, Tz colour, I'd probably go purple. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/567082/6321275.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/567082/6321275.page GMT GW paints, so I am limited. Is this blending effect mentioned easy? You are talking to a real beginning painter. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/567082/6321305.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/567082/6321305.page GMT
By brush? Blending colours is perhaps one of the most difficult core skills to get pinned down consistently well. That said, it is a worthwhile pursuit, as it encourages good habits like manipulating paint consistency (thinning) and helps develop brush control. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/567082/6321347.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/567082/6321347.page GMT
