Invaders (Hedonites of Slaanesh) Paint List for Age of Sigmar

intermediate Hedonites of Slaanesh

Black, hot pink, very light skin, and steel blades. A coherent starter palette for Invaders without diluting its visual identity.

The black is the stage for the pink: keep it deep and matte. The skin should stay almost porcelain so the silhouette still reads as Slaanesh immediately.

Recommended undercoat black — Several priority paints in this army converge on black.

Tips

Hints for this army
1 A black that has been lightened too far flattens the contrast with the pink.
2 Keep the blades neutral so they don't compete with the magenta accents.
