Exactly what I was thinking. That and the artist was forced to use the old Cyan Magenta Yellow color palet from many 1980's computer games!!!

But this does not belong here. I can see the scheme working if painted well. A slight olive touch against the bronze of the armor? The idea comes naturally. And why should the MUTATED beastmen of CHAOS not be greenish in teint?

i agree.the proper beastmen were described as mutated and different in all shapes and sizes. yet in recent years they have been painted as that character out of toy soldiers from the 90s

i prefer the older imagining of beastmen. so why not mix it up with a few different colours? however ill back sjeng up a little. painting them ALL green makes them look like some pack who mother ran off with an orcsie :)

I wonder if this might have worked if they had finished painting. As it is now, that bright yellow is hurting my eyes. :lol:
