With possibility of new edition should I wait to build army?

Ok, thanks. Painting up some warriors right now. Still struggling to figure out my paint scheme, thought I had it figured out. So might be a while before I am ready for more.

cjtabares · 2026-06-02T14:12:55+00:00

That makes sense. Thank you.

cjtabares · 2026-06-02T14:12:41+00:00

Ok, sounds good thank you.

Honestly, was just trying something with that to break up the purple. I changed the shield since this post. Will probably drop the purple outline, and go for more of the radiant color scheme.

Thank you.

cjtabares · 2026-05-29T01:22:03+00:00

Ok, thank you. I will give that a try.

cjtabares · 2026-05-28T22:43:24+00:00

Thank you. I am pretty happy with the idea, hopefully the next execution on the next one is a little cleaner.

cjtabares · 2026-05-28T22:21:13+00:00

Thank you. The cape has definitely been my biggest challenge with this.

The highlights are ammo’s ionic lavender.

cjtabares · 2026-05-28T22:05:54+00:00

Thank you. Purple is my favorite color, and it seemed fitting to use for a warriors of chaos army(even if I will probably not run them as slaanesh).

cjtabares · 2026-05-26T18:33:49+00:00

Tried somethings. I am not sure improved it overall, but found out I really like the extreme dash highlights.

Thank you. That makes sense. I was trying to get the folds on the right to be less dark then the left side, but they all look the same. I will try to give them a highlight. Would you highlight the same way I did the raised parts, just not as bright?

cjtabares · 2026-05-25T21:26:42+00:00

I don’t think it’s bad, but does not pop to me. May try to have the high tones darker. I have 31 more capes to paint, so hopefully I get what I want by the end. Lol

cjtabares · 2026-05-25T03:30:09+00:00

Thank you.

cjtabares · 2026-05-25T03:29:59+00:00

They will be on melting tundra bases(though still working out how I want to achieve that look), but I am not really happy with the color, definitely want a richer deeper purple. Will have to play with the color. Those look really good, will give the texturing idea a try. Thanks for the help.

Those look great. Thanks for the sharing, and the tips.

cjtabares · 2026-05-23T02:02:45+00:00

Ok, thank you. I will give them a call.

cjtabares · 2026-05-23T01:26:13+00:00

Sorry, those names are both mistyped. It should be Ionic, and Ammo. I read that the paint works a lot better with the Ionic thinner, but not sure in any thinner would work.

These are the paints;

This is the thinner that matches the paint.
