Hosts Arcanum (Disciples of Tzeentch) Paint List for Age of Sigmar
Blue robes, bold golds, and pink-yellow magic. A coherent starter palette for Hosts Arcanum without diluting its visual identity.
The key is a light but dense blue, with the pink and the yellow reserved for the magic effects. The gold should frame it, not compete with the spells.
