Tzaangors

Enter the realm of savage transformation with the Tzaangors, bird-headed beastmen who have undergone a transmutation through the potent power of Tzeentch, incorporating both followers and foes into their ranks. These mutant warriors possess an uncanny sensitivity to omens and arcane energies, tirelessly pursuing the shifting winds of fate. Armed with ensorcelled blades, they unleash their vicious skill and unhinged fervor upon their enemies.

Prepare to assemble a dynamic force with this multipart plastic kit that allows you to construct a formidable unit of 10 Tzaangors, bound by their allegiance to Tzeentch. Each model within this set can be equipped with an arcanite shield and a savage blade, or alternatively, wield a pair of axe-like savage blades. The versatility of this kit extends further, as it includes components to build a Twistbray champion, a musician armed with a brayhorn, an icon bearer, along with two exceptionally twisted Tzaangor mutants and two Tzaangors armed with savage greatblades.

Unleash your creativity with an abundance of options for customization. Delve into the vast array of possibilities offered by two sets of 12 distinct head designs, which can be paired with eight unique horn designs. Additionally, explore the freedom to mix-and-match with two sets of five different maned backs, crooked legs, and armored torsos.

How to paint the Tzaangors set

1. Step 1: Basecoat
   Apply a basecoat of a suitable color, such as a bright blue like Thousand Sons Blue or other vibrant tones, to the Tzaangors flesh areas using a medium-sized brush.
2. Step 2: Base Colors
   Choose the appropriate colors for different sections of the models. For the feathers, consider using colors like Zandri Dust or other earthy tones, and for the armor and weapons, select colors like Leadbelcher or other metallic shades.
3. Step 3: Detailing
   Using a smaller brush, add fine details to the models. Paint the eyes with contrasting colors like Mephiston Red or other suitable hues, and apply additional colors to highlight areas such as the beak or claws. For example, you can use colors like Balthasar Gold or other metallic shades for small details like buckles or ornaments.
4. Step 4: Washes
   Apply washes to the models to enhance depth and create shadows. Use a suitable shade like Nuln Oil or other dark washes for the metallic areas, and consider using Agrax Earthshade or other appropriate washes for the feathers and flesh areas.
5. Step 5: Highlights and Drybrushing
   Using a lighter shade of the base colors or a mix with white, carefully highlight the edges and raised areas of the models. This step adds dimension and brings out the details. Additionally, use a drybrush technique with a lighter color to lightly dust certain areas, like the feathers or armor, for added texture and a weathered appearance.
6. Step 6: Fine Details
   Focus on painting smaller details such as the eyes, beak, or symbols. Use contrasting colors to make them stand out, like painting the eyes with a bright color or using a suitable hue for the beak or symbols. Take your time and be patient with these intricate details.
7. Step 7: Bases
   Paint the bases using colors that match your preferred theme, such as a rocky or mystical terrain. Consider using texture paints, drybrushing, or adding additional details like tufts of grass or small rocks to enhance the overall look.
8. Step 8: Varnish (Optional)
   To protect your painted models and ensure their longevity, consider applying a varnish spray as a final step. This helps seal the paint, guarding against chipping, and adds a protective layer to the models.
