Grimoire Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 All, Looking for some examples for a few of the wyche cults. Cult of Strife and Cult of the Red Grief are easily found. But does anyone have some ideas for some of the others ? Either based in Fluff of otherwise. Strife: Incubi Darkness, Kabalite Green, and Sybarite Green with Red Hair Grief: Mephiston Red, Wild Rider Red, Fire Dragon Blight with Blue Hair A Scheme with Purple Armour plates might be good ? Any ideas there ? Regards Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 I'm not sure what other schemes there are, at least without poking my codex (wherever that is) but as you've done a couple of official ones why not create your own? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimoire Posted February 19, 2019 Author Share Posted February 19, 2019 I guess I wasn't clear and for that I apologize. I'm pretty new at this and there really aren't any good sources for modelling paints locally. Add to this the problem(s) of trying to decipher on-line images to determine the colors used. GW doesn't exactly help with their naming scheme but anyway to clarify. Purple armor sound interesting but the shades ? and the Highlight colors to use ? Any better ?

WarriorFish Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Ah I see, if you're looking for help on paints/painting then the Forge is probably the best place to go as that's where the experts live Purple is a rather nice colour that I've used a fair bit, it's quite versatile too. For example I used Naggaroth Night with a good Drakenhof Nightshade wash on my Thousand Sons here: Which creates quite a bold colour that leans towards a blue at times. You could take Hormagaunt Purple (or whatever it's called if that's the old name?) for a much lighter purple, almost pastel, for something quite different so it depends on what sort of purple you're thinking of I think a darker one is an easy fit for DE but that doesn't mean the only one I think it's a good colour for adjusting for washes too, as I have done with the blue wash above but probably not many options that'd work well? Hope this helps you get started Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimoire Posted February 19, 2019 Author Share Posted February 19, 2019 Thank you ! That gives me a starting place. Naggaroth Night Xereus Purple Genestealer Purple Druchii Violet as a shade Very Nice models BTW ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Thanks Sounds like you have a plan, I'm pretty sure I got Xereus Purple to work with my purple I think it was as a highlight? Not that I've used it yet. From my experimenting I don't think I found Druchii Violet to do much with Naggaroth as it's quite a "strong" colour by itself, but it may yield better results with the raised areas of DE models. Don't forget to update the topic for us once you've started work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimoire Posted February 22, 2019 Author Share Posted February 22, 2019 My Faithful seeing eye dog and I finally are nearing completion of my first Purple Schemed Wyche. Still a work in progress. Haven't highlighted the Wychesuit yet :) Cult for her hasn't been determined yet. It won't be Strife or Grief. Based on Warriorfish's recommendations I used the following: Naggaroth Night no shade on this one but either Dragonhof Nightshade or Druchii Violet most likely Xereus Purple - Highlight Genestealer Purple - Highlight Hair I decided to opt for Green(ish): Caliban Green Coelia Greenshade Warpstone Glow Moot Green Caveat: I am a really lousy painter. Half blind *and* old lol Comments welcomed including a potential Cult for Her Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Purple looks really nice and the green hair complements perfectly, nicely done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
