Flamers of Tzeentch

I've been keeping my Tzeentch army on the back burner for a while. But the combination of my First Founding project coming to an end, the new allies rules for Warhammer 40,000, and the timely release of some new models, now was a good time to continue with it.

The new daemon wave, and the new allies rules have allowed me to re-imagine the way my Thousand Sons army will work. For one thing, I now have more daemons than Chaos Marines. For another, a Thousand Sons or Chaos Marines release appears to not be coming until October at the earliest (if the rumormongers are to be believed).

The first unit I chose to build and paint from the new wave was the Flamers. This was a difficult group of models to paint. For one thing, they all have mouths all over the place with tiny fangs that were hard to paint. I also picked up three new paint pots to do the blue: Macragge Blue, Alaitoc Blue and Hoeth Blue. Of which I did layers in that order.

Based on feedback I got from a previous post, I spent some time looking at pictures of fire trying to decide which way to layer the colors. I saw examples both ways, and ultimately decided to go red to white, rather than the reverse as had been suggested in that previous post.
