Four Colours of Chaos
THE THOUSAND SONS OF TZEENTCH

Page: 1|2|3|4|5

Once your models have been primed with Chaos Black Spray Primer, painting can begin. Below, you will find a simple-but-effective colour scheme using only 12 colours. Follow the detailed instructions and check out the stage-by-stage images as you paint your model for reference. Don't fret if the model doesn't come out picture perfect in the end. Painting takes time and practice to master. Just do the best you can each time and be open to learning new techniques from others. Before you know it, you'll be quite an accomplished painter with models you'll be proud to game with!

Apply a Blue Ink wash to the blue armour. Paint Golden Yellow over the Skull White basecoat on the armour trim. Apply a watered-down mix of Green Ink to the bolter, cloth, and shoulder pad symbol.

Paint Ultramarines Blue back over the inked areas to bring the colour back, but don't paint into the recesses to give the model depth. Do the same for the Snot Green areas.

Highlight the Golden Yellow trim with Bad Moon Yellow. Highlight the bolter, cloth, and shoulder pad symbol with Goblin Green.

 
5

Finish highlighting the armour with Ice Blue. Pick out the edges of the yellow trim with Skull White. Highlight the Dwarf Bronze areas with Shining Gold. Highlight the bolter, cloth, and shoulder pad symbols with Scorpion Green.
