So having a bash at some slaanesh style chaos marines, this guy is just a test run so please just ignore the mold lines etc. But what I am asking is what do you think of the general scheme, should there be more black ? is the purple base too dark ? Should have I done the power weapon be blue as a contrast colour ? I thought I had this down and ready to go, but now looking at this test model I am not so sure. My main aim is to eventually have an army that stands out a little more than the norm on the table. Pinks and purples I thought would be ideal. I know the paintings a little rough around the edges too, but its the colours I am asking you guys on really. Your thoughts would be appriciated, as it is I am not happy with this model and on the brink of saying "**** it* and doing a khorne scheme instead.

I think more black for contrast would be nice, I do like the pink though. There was a lovely black and pink hellbrute on the GW blog a week or two ago that looked lovely.

I agree with eldargal it needs more dark colors to contrast with the overall lightness of the paint scheme, maybe a dark color loincloth (talberd?) Otherwise really good paint job, I like the pink and the blue spot colors.

I actually think you could go SUPER low-contrast. Pale that pink almost to a white (the current pink being the darkest color) leave the tabard white, and make it almost ambigous whether its flesh or armor. Just an idea.

Slaaneshi followers are all about the thrill of experience and extremes of perception... go for some extreme contras! Shade practically down to black in the recesses and highlight the living-proverbial out of the extremes in a shade of PIIIIIIINNNNKKKK!!!!1!1!!!! (not I do not usually type like that, it just has to be that bright, almost painful to the eye kind of a pink that it deserves such an elongated name). I'd be tempted to do something similar with the gold and the Ivory too.

Also, blue works quite well as a contrasting spot colour. Wierdly, I'd suggest keeping it relatively muted, to really make the other colours POP!
