How to paint the Tranceweaver/Viceleader, Herald of Slaanesh set

1. Step 1: Basecoat the miniature.
   Apply a basecoat of pink to the skin areas using Emperor’s Children. Use a light purple for the robes, like Xereus Purple, and a metallic silver for the armor, such as Leadbelcher.
2. Step 2: Add highlights.
   Apply a lighter shade of pink, like Pink Horror, to the raised areas of the skin to create highlights. Use a lighter purple, such as Genestealer Purple, to highlight the edges of the robes. For the armor, apply a lighter silver, like Ironbreaker, to the raised surfaces.
3. Step 3: Paint the details.
   Use a deep red, such as Khorne Red, for the hair and the intricate designs on the armor. Apply a dark purple, like Naggaroth Night, to the chitinous weapons. Add small dots of bright green, such as Moot Green, to represent gemstone details.
4. Step 4: Wash the miniature.
   Apply a wash of purple, like Druchii Violet, to the robes, skin, and hair. Use a black wash, such as Nuln Oil, to add depth and shadows to the armor and chitinous weapons. Be careful not to let the wash pool in recessed areas.
5. Step 5: Highlight the details.
   Use a lighter red, like Evil Sunz Scarlet, to highlight the hair and the designs on the armor. Apply a lighter purple, such as Xereus Purple, to the edges of the robes. Highlight the chitinous weapons with a lighter purple, like Screamer Pink.
6. Step 6: Paint the base.
   Choose a suitable color for the base, such as a dark gray or brown. Add texture by drybrushing with a lighter shade, like Administratum Grey. Finish by applying tufts or static grass for added realism.
7. Step 7: Varnish the miniature.
   To protect your hard work, apply a layer of varnish using a matte or satin finish. This will help preserve the paint job and reduce the risk of chipping or fading.
8. Step 8: Optional: Add additional details.
   If desired, you can further enhance the miniature by adding additional details like freehand designs, tattoos, or glazes to create subtle color transitions.
