ItzMercy Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Hey, So I want my next army to be pink.. like a unicorn pink! I want it very majestic with a mix of white, light blue and bright pink. But I don't know what would be the best army for this, I know stormcast would look great but I already have a stormcast army so that's off the table. I really want Khorne but I don't see that looking too good in bright pink. There's a couple of faction that I think could look decent, sylvaneth maybe to be themed like blossom trees? And also daughters or Khaine with pink hair and details. The other thing that makes this hard is I actually want the army to be good and playable, DoK doesn't seem too strong and theirs not much to choose from, Sylvaneth is decent but still not a lot to choose from. Anyway, it would be great to hear your recommendations maybe even with examples? Thanks! P.s Here's where I got the inspiration from, the stormcast army in this video - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.s Here's where I got the inspiration from, the stormcast army in this video - I would say that Slaanesh would fit the bill perfectly and you'd be jumping in with a Battletome coming out soon. The new stunning Keeper of Secrets model (along with the other new models recently released and to come) are also a great incentive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clan's Cynic Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 I'm going to second Slaanesh. Tzeentch daemons also include pink in their palette, particularly Horrors, although they generally throw more blues out there. Daughters of Khaine use a lot of whites, purples and reds. It wouldn't be too much to shift some of those up to a pink as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPjr Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 To echo the others Slaanesh & Tzeentch immediately spring to mind and with DoK, as you say, the pink hair’s already there. But great thing about AoS is it’s so wide open you can easy come up with a reason your army comes in bubblegum flavours. I’ve seen a few Nighthaunt armies done in purples and pinks that looked absolutely incredible. I could easily picture a load of Idoneth eels in pinks and blues, lots of weird undersea creatures to take inspiration from. Likewise Seraphon, there are some gorgeous pink lizards you can look to and blue accents would really make them pop. Sylvaneth based on Japanese cherry trees in blossom would be 😘👌.

Elmir Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Sylvaneth with a Japanese cherry blossom theme looks amazing. Troggoth force can looks amazing in pink too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turragor Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 My candy nurgle are sort of what you refer to but in the execution I gave them a more acid feel than a pastel candy feel. Still worked out ok! As gaz says, anything goes really! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nos Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Lucy from the first video you posted does all her armies pink/purple, it’s like her trademark. They all look great. If it’s done well any colour scheme works on anything, in my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swarmofseals Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Yeah, I'm going to go ahead and agree with the "anything goes" idea. I think if you want to be silly/cartoony, then you can do almost anything as that amazing Nurgle army above shows. Pink Nighthaunt would be interesting, as would pink dark or high aelves. Bubblegum Punk Fyreslayers could be great. Really the sky is the limit. If you have buckets of cash to spend, a pink Chaos Dwarf army would be hilarious. What better way to show that you hate everyone by dressing you whole army in electric hot pink? As far as "traditional" pink armies, most of them have been mentioned I think. DoK: pink and white go well here as many have mentioned. Also I don't know what you mean when you say DoK doesn't seem too strong. They are one of the best performing tournament armies in the game right now (although other factions are starting to show up) Idoneth: tropical color scheme with lots of coral could look great here, and they are quite competitive as well. Sylvaneth or Wanderers: Cherry Blossom themed Sylvaneth are a classic at this point (even a bit overdone, imo), and you could follow the same theme with Wanderers if you want (although they are definitely not competitive at the moment). Sylvaneth is competitive right now, but you might want to wait until this rumored moonclan vs. sylvaneth box comes out in case they get a new book. Moonclan: pink squigs are classic. Pink gobbo robes are a bit strange, but white robes would look fantastic (albeit if you live in the US do note that this might look a little suspect). It might help if you painted pink trim on the robes. Pink trolls and lots of fluorescent crazy fungus are quite encouraged. Tzeentch: Pink is a classic Tzeentch color, although blue is a more common dominant color. Nothing says you can't paint all your daemons and tzaangors pink though. Slaanesh: All pink would fit right in here, or you could go for an androgynous/ambiguous theme by doing a contrasting pink and black harlequin style design. Keep in mind that the battletome is known to be coming though, so you may want to wait on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pseudonyme Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Magenta is the colour to use. On any army. On every army. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kramer Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Isn't there a neon pink Ironjawz army that looks seriously impressive on this forum somewhere? Would be a cool contrast between the bright pink and light colours, and the absolute brutal looking models (+battle damage if you want) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManlyMuppet88 Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Yeah, Ironjawz look pretty brutal in pink. Tzeentch would be fine in pink too, it’d fit nicely with the horrors and you can use spot colours to add some blue. Gotta agree with the statements above - pretty much anything goes.

People usually just cherry pick the best units to field. LoN is hordes of Grimghast Reapers, DoK is hordes of Witch Aelves and IDK are Eels, SCE are Evocators...

123lac Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Tzeentch - Pink horrors are already a thing. Sylvaneth - cherry blossom leaves and a light coloured bark would be nice. Slaanesh - pink and gold would suit I think. High Elves - I've seen someone post a well painted army of these with lots of pink and it actually looked quite good.

XReN Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Well damn, now I want my next army to be pink!@Payce, really amazing Ironjaws you've got there! Oh, right, on topic: any army will do, but I would recommend Idoneth and Slaanesh maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlatTooth Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Edit: this was supposed to be Gary Oldman shouting "everyone" but I am bad at computers so imagine with me. I genuinely mean this.

Charleston Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Start a Khorne Army, call your pink Bloodletters "Loveletters" and share Mortal Wounds with your special anybody. Also having "Lovethirsters" and Glittercannons sounds pretty viable to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amysrevenge Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 I paint my Flesheaters a darkish pink, was originally going for a T-bone steak kind of thing, got a bit lighter pink than I was going for at first, but decided I liked it better that way. (OT the un-filled gap down the center of the face of that pink mount in the OP is KILLING ME.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
