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

intermediate Hedonites of Slaanesh

Pale lavender, intense pinks, and very light golds. A coherent starter palette for Pretenders without diluting its visual identity.

Keep the lavender as the main mass and use the pink only to wake up certain panels or cloth. The golds should be bright, never dirty.

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