The Pink Horror Picture Show

 Following the Screamers, it was time to focus on some Core troops for my Tzeentch Daemons of Chaos army. 

Pink Horrors!

These guys have been kicking around in my collection for years, with each edition of 40k or WFB coming and going, as were their rules. These guys used to split into Blue Borrors and then into  Brimstone Horrors. This is no longer the case in The Old World, and now you just take each unit as it's own type. Kind of a shame really as I loved the uniqueness of that mechanic. 

These Pink Horrors are the mid-90's versions. One way to tell is that they all have faces stolen from the classic California Raisins commercials and their finger tips have claws instead of tubal openings. 

Screamer Pink

The first layer of paint (that wasn't primer) was Screamer Pink. 

Carroburg Crimson.

Then a wash of Carroburg Crimson was applied across the models. 

Pink Horror.

Naturally I had to use Pink Horror on Pink Horrors so that was the next color. 

 

Titillating Pink 

As bright as Pink Horror is, it pales in comparison to my 30+ year old vintage Citadel Color Titillating Pink.  After all of these miniatures were colored, well, they more 90% done. 

Mostly done.

The Standard Bearer model was a bit more exotic and required the most attention. 

So sassy he needs his own post.

I tried to make his thorns appear a bit more wicked by giving them a violet luster.  He has feathers and I colored them using Asurmen Blue. 

Finished!

Here is the champion, I spent way too much time stewing over how to paint his punch dagger. Ultimately I decided to make it seem like a  boney kind of protrusion. 

Finished Champion.

Once all the Pink Horrors were done I added grass tufts to their bases and their movement tray. This turned out well, and it almost seems like a seamless piece, which has always been my intention. 

The moment of completion.

Okay, here's their glamor shot. Hopefully I can get the rest of their Chaotic buddies completed soon and we can see them on the tabletop spreading mayhem and horror. 

Glamor shot!
