Tzeentch Chaos Warriors are often blessed with strange mutations or wear armour
with arcane inlays that improve the potency of their lord's magic. When painting
a Tzeentch Chaos Warrior, be neat and try to use vibrant blues, yellows, and
metallics that yield shining armour. Keep your water clean by changing it often,
especially when you're using metallics, so that your colours truly come out
bright.
Follow the detailed instructions and check out the stage-by-stage images for
reference as you paint your models. 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!

Undercoat
your model with Chaos Black. This first step is a big one and the most
important as a good basecoat makes or breaks a model. Heavily drybrush
the shoulder fur with a mix of Codex Grey and a drop of Chaos Black. Next,
use Regal Blue to paint the cape. Leave the interior of tattered tears
and deep crevasses in the cape Chaos Black. The hardest part of this stage
is to carefully paint the armour, shield, and weaponry with Chainmail.
Don't just glop paint all over the armour. Take the time to pick out each
plate and buckle. Fix any mistakes with Chaos Black. Clean your water
before you move on. |

Lay
down a basecoat of Scorched Brown on the model's boots, horns, gloves,
and belt. Pick out the shield insignia with Fiery Orange. Be sure to water
this colour down and apply a few thin coats to get it right. Finish this
stage by picking out the model's kneecap, breastguard, and weapon details
with Shining Gold. Definitely change your water before moving on. |

Start
to highlight the cloak with a watered-down, even mix of Regal Blue and
Enchanted Blue. As you apply this colour, slowly mix in a tiny bit more
Enchanted Blue as you go along. Stick to the raised areas of the cape.
Carefully drybrush Codex Grey over the shoulder fur. Follow this with
another pass on the fur but mix Codex Grey with a bit of Ghostly Grey
this time around. Paint the model's horns Dark Flesh. Pay attention to
ridges and other features that will take paint nicely. Quickly highlight
the boots, gloves, and belt with a few well placed lines of Dark Flesh.
Clean your water before you proceed to ink the model in step four. |

Now
it's ink time. First, apply a bit of slightly watered-down Blue Ink to
the armour and let this dry partially. Paint it into the areas you want
it to go, do not just slather the model with ink and hope it will come
out okay! Be precise and sop up any excessive ink pooling. Now, selectively
hit the Shining Gold areas with watered-down Chestnut Ink. It's important
to let all your inks dry completely before continuing further! So take
a break or work on another Chaos Warrior while the model dries. |

Finish
your model by going back over the metallic areas in order to clean the
ink up. A very, very careful light drybrushing will do this effectively.
If you do this correctly, the Blue Ink will have given the armour a cool
tinge. Clean your water before moving on. Water down Enchanted Blue and
apply a few highlights to the cape. Build up the model's horns from Dark
Flesh to Kommando Khaki. Now, paint the horn ends Fiery Orange and blend
the very tips of the horns with watered-down Golden Yellow. Keep using
Golden Yellow to blend the shield insignia in the same manner. Use several
thin coats of paint and be patient. Clean up any niggling details like
hanging teeth, and necklaces at this point. If you take your time and
work through each step, then The Changer of Ways will be pleased with
your efforts. If not, then... well I hope you enjoy being Chaos Spawn! |
