The casting of spells fills Pink Horrors with increased joy,
and they emit especially high-pitched merriment as
the eldritch energy screeches from their upraised hands.
When wounded, a Pink Horror exhales a final lunatic cackle
before rapidly decomposing into an ectoplasmic blob of
gyrating magic. With a characteristic whoop of satisfaction,
this residue swiftly alters colour and divides into two Blue Horrors.

Hey all! Welcome back to another Friday on The Art of Caesura!
This week brings the merry big sibling of the grumpy Blue Horrors that I painted a couple of months ago. For those of you who have been following this blog for a while, you'll know that I kind of like things dark and eerie - if not in colour than in tone.
The Pink Horrors of Tzeentch don't typically fit the whole "dark and eerie" vibe, but regardless I decided to darken my palate a little and I ended up having a lot of fun with these nutters.
I wanted to tie this guy to the other horrors that he explodes into when you killl him in Warhammer. I painted his tongue the same way as the Blue Horror flesh, and painted the fire coming out of his tube-fingers and around his left foot in the same way as my little Brimstone Horrors.
I must admit to being slightly uninspired when I painted the duplicate model of this guy. To differentiate them slightly, I alternated all their metal bits: all the bits that are silver on one are copper on the other and vice versa. One of them has dark purple feathers whilst the other: dark blue.
So...that now means that I've finished all the horrors in the Silver Tower box-set! Time for a family photo:
Well, there you have it folks! Till next time on The Art of Caesura!
