40k Space Wolves & Daemons Boot Sale Bargain - Help Lawnor identify and fix please (Spring Cleaning)
Daemons
Along with the Space Wolves I also have 3 Daemons to paint (1 Daemon prince, 1 old school Bloodthirster, and one Soul Grinder). While at BonesCon I was lucky enough to win a copy of Wrath and Rapture with my arena points so I have a fair bit of Khorne and Slaanesh to paint now. While I like the Khorne models, I do not like that everything is red on red on red. I agree that his Daemons should have red skin, but I’m looking for ideas to break up the colour palette a bit otherwise all that red just blurs together.
Looking at the cavalry in the box, I’m considering a dark, near black, green/turquoise (P3 Coal black, or Secret Weapon Tyre Black, but perhaps darker?) for the inlaid sections. I am still looking to keep the red flesh tones.
Does anyone have any other suggestions for alternate colour schemes or ways to break up the red?
I was just going through the web store looking at close ups of these minis and it appears Flesh Hounds have been removed. Does this sort of thing mean the model has been removed from the game, or just that they are between print runs and perhaps changing the design of the sculpt?
I have the Companies of Fenris: Space Wolves Painting guide from 2014. Was there an equivalent book for Chaos or individual gods? If so, what was/were they called? My google-fu is failing me on identifying them.
Hmm, perhaps you could do the backs of the Bloodletters in the same fashion as the Fleshhounds? With the black scales and spines across their back?
Interesting thought. if I wanted to maintain the red skin I could fade from the black scales too. Maybe even do that hairless gorilla chest effect?
I’m mostly OK with the red skin though. Its the red armour and red cloth next to it that bugs me more.
I am curious why this post has earned skill points already when I haven’t done anything yet?

Fair enough. I’ll take the likes.
