Green Horror of Tzeentch

Naturally, horrors of Tzeentch can come in many colours depending on the whim of their creator (both Tzeentch and the painter in question!). This particular chap turned out green. Although I had planned on making a unit of Nurgle-affected horrors, I felt that a multi-colour vibe would be better. So this one will form part of a large squad where each miniature is a different colour!

The greens were achieved through the use of several layers of green (catachan, goblin green and so forth) painted and layered on top of one another. A small amount of bleached bone was added to tone the colour lighter and gently drybrush the miniature, before a several washes of green were applied all over to bring him together. The final details and accessories were fiddly (e.g. multi-toned teeth), but manageable. My new plastic Tzeentch horror squad is growing...!

  3. He's definitely different! Do you have any themey sort of plans like doing a rainbow unit, or are you just going with whatever the Changer of Ways inspires?

  4. Hi Big Jim -- thank you: the green took a while to get looking right ... but all the practice with the plaguebearers paid off :)

  5. Hi Sonsoftaurus & Von -- I've currently got blue, pink, green, yellow/orange and a red one is on the way. I'll have to think about purple next perhaps! I didn't originally set out for a riot of rainbow colours. But it is appealing now that I've reached this stage.
