3 extra screamers from this batch are reserved for the chariot platforms: 1 large screamer (chariot 1) and 2 standard screamers (chariot 2). Same paint scheme applies.

Paint Scheme

#

This will give a bright warp look for Screamers of Tzeentch serving Tzeentch.

3-Pass Screamer Scheme

#

(Primer + 3 airbrush passes)

Prep

#

Pin models and mount on a wooden board for batch airbrushing.

The metal pin doubles as a permanent flight base — the plan is to keep it in, hover the model semi-low, and paint the rod black so it disappears. Less intrusive than a clear plastic flight stand.

Prime (color primer instead of white/black)

#

Use:

Vallejo Surface Primer – NATO Green

Why this works:

• green gives a weird chaotic undertone
• purple and blue over it look magical
• shadows are already done

Airbrush Pass 1 — Warp Belly

#

Spray from below the model.

Don’t fully cover every corner — slight unevenness looks organic.

Paint:

• Army Painter Crystal Blue

Mix 1:1 with medium for airbrush

Focus on:

• belly
• lower fins
• tail underside

Let some green remain in shadows.

Result: green shadows → turquoise belly.

Airbrush Pass 2 — Top Skin

#

Spray from above.

Don’t fully cover every corner — slight unevenness looks organic.

Paint:

• Army Painter Alien Purple

Mix 1:1 with medium for airbrush

Focus on:

• back
• top fins
• tail

Leave blue showing on the sides.

Now you have:

green → blue → purple gradient

Airbrush Pass 3 — Warp Glow

#

Light spray from front/top.

Paint:

• Army Painter Daemonic Yellow

Hit only:

• nose
• mouth area
• front fins

This creates instant magical color contrast.

Ink Glazes

#

Glaze lightly with inks:

• Liquitex Phthalocyanine Blue Ink → underside — deepens the teal and adds iridescence

• Liquitex Quinacridone Magenta Ink → back — pushes the purple richer and warmer

Details

#

Block in Skeleton Bone on eyes, teeth, and horns.

Eyes:

• Skeleton Bone base
• Glaze with yellow ink — gives them a glowing amber look
• With a tiny line of black, gives them cat eyes

Teeth and horns:

• Skeleton Bone base
• Wash with Burnt Umber — pushes them warm and dirty, stops them reading as clean white
• And then a partial coat of Skeleton Bone again for the tips …

Result

#

You should get:

• green shadow undertone
• turquoise belly
• purple back
• yellow magical face glow

Very Tzeentch energy.
