Trying out new colour scheme

Finally, after almost six months, my Tzeentch models arrived! I wanted to start Tzeentch army this year, and purchased several kits back in January, but for some strange reason the order was going back and forth until it finally arrived last week. And I immediately assembled the miniature I was very excited about - Lord of Change:

Since I wanted this army to be my new "pet project" (because Sylvaneth are almost 100% done) I was thinking about the backstory and the characters during the past few months. I will write a blog post about that as well, but for now it is sufficient to say that I wanted them to be the main enemies of my Sylvaneth force in Ghyran. I also wanted the colour scheme to be very bright and vibrant, so I experimented a bit this morning. Here's the result (I used one of the extra parts from Lord of Change set for testing):

 

Here is the paint scheme that I used:

  • GW Ahriman Blue as undercoat
  • All-over wash of Vallejo Game Colour Blue Wash
  • Drybrush with GW Calgar Blue
  • Drybrush/edge highlight with GW Blue Horror
  • Paint feathers with Vallejo Game Colour Squid Pink
  • Apply wash of GW Druchii Violet to feathers
  • Highlight with Vallejo Game Colour Squid Pink
  • Highlight with GW White Scar

I am very satisfied wih this test turned out - and I can't wait to start painting the big guy :)
