About this deal

Most P3 Paints do not match closely with the old GW range, but a detailed explanation of each paint can be found here: http://www.brushthralls.com/pre-painting-prep/color-theory-10p3.html

For the human skin highlight the colours are basically just moving left to right from darkest to lightest of this trio of paints. The darker skin is a couple of thin coats of Knight-Questor, then for the last highlight mixing in a touch of Cadian. The medium skin tone started with Cadian followed by mixing in a bit of Kislev for the final highlight of the medium tone. Then I reused that Cadian/Kislev mix for the initial highlight of the lightest tone that was then finished off with kislev. The hybrid skin is a couple of thin coats of Ushabti over the base coat, you can push it a touch further with screaming skull if you want.

This is where this concept came in: how about a chart that has all the new GW colors in it with their corresponding Hex Codes for the colors! A good source for inspiration for Genecult colour schemes is to look at their tentacle-mawed gods’s own. After all, it’d make sense they wanna emulate the giant space bugs they’re desperately trying to summon right? The 2019 codex features 2 minor cults that do this with the Sons of Jormungandr and the Behemoid Undercult parroting the schemes for Hive Fleets Jormungandr and Behemoth respectively, with and this formed the basis for my own cult’s scheme based off the cold minty chitin of Hive Fleet Tiamet.

What this is meant to be is the colors of Vect's Kabal. The colors they use are their "Sea Green" paint style. Gehenna’s Gold: D49761 ● - Auric Armour Gold: E9C278 ● - Hashut Copper: C69169 ● - Sycorax Bronze: CBB394 Cadian Fleshtone: C87958 ● - Kislev Flesh: D6A876 ● - Bestigor Flesh: D28B57 ● - Ungor Flesh: D7A767http://www.wargamesfoundry.com - also do a range of similar to Citadel paints, will update when can get chance. To get river/lake looking shiny I just kinda pour some gloss varnish from the bottle on, you will want a paper clip or something to poke any bubbles. The penultimate step is painting the rims with your choice of paint, in this case I used dryad to match my Tyranids. The last model thing the models need is to throw on some tufts, I like using these ones from Gamers Grass: Built in petticoat and hip pads, dew drop crystal earrings, gilt bow stiletto courts and Suspender set underwear complete this Historic tale of HEARTACHE and VALOUR.
