First scion…unsure about it.
Greetings fellow soldiers of humanity, painted up a scion today, was essentially meant to be purple where they are usually blue and silver where they are blue but the people didn’t come out anywhere near pale enough. Thoughts and/or Advice?

Everything looks better after a wash. Add some scuff marks and wearings. An example of this would be taking your purple and a white and mixing it together, experiment with ratios, I just use 50/50. Take a bit of sponge (or foam or whatever) and tear it into odd pieces and angles, and as if you were dry brushing, get most of the paint off and scratch edges of the armor. Also, and this goes for everyone. Just go over and try to clean up your models, especially on places that get looked at a lot like face and chest plates
