Tentacle Pink!!!!!

I started painting miniatures 2 years ago but I have only had my own things to paint for maybe a year or so. The first thing I said when I looked at the shelf with paint at our local hobbystore was: PINK!! I want that one!!!! But I never bought it because I didn't know what to use it for

Last month they had a sale and there it was - Tentacle Pink, 50% off - Woohooo!!! So I bought that and a whole bunch of inks that I don't know what to do with (especially red and yellow ink that has aprox the same color as the red I use so it never works at its own )

But now I have a problem, I have a paint that I have no use for, so I need ideas for what to use it for I try to come up with excuses to use it and I actually used it at my mutants tentacles, but now then????

So help me out, good ideas and bad ideas alike, I appreciate them just as much (I even thought aboyut making a pink orc )

The pinks I have, especially mauve, are mostly used as a dry brush on dark or wine reds. Pink dry brushed with white or as a wash over white has a certain spooky quaility to it. The red ink would be a good wash/glaze for an orange base color or over copper.

I've had a bottle of yellow ink hanging around for a couple of decades & NEVER found a use for.

I use red ink as blood on weapons and wounds. It's applied after the area is painted. I find that it gives the blood a nice sticky wet feel.
As for the pink, I don't know, I usually just mix red an white, but since you have it I'd say use it on tongues, gums, and ... well tentacles.
I didn't know GW made a yellow ink, but if I had some, and if I played Skaven(Ash), then I would use it to paint the pool of urine cause by fear causing models.
I hope this was a bit helpful.

Hahaha!

Tentacle pink... I have one pot that I use occasionally. When using the red ink for blood, use a bit of brown ink or watered brown paint to give it the darker colour of true blood. Just red ink looks like poor Hollywood effects. I use the yellow ink on my Imperial Fists Space Marines. Anything that you want really, really bright yellow.

You could always paint a Blood Bowl team

love the BB team, if only your ogre was female too

Wow.....that is very....pink
Nice work, love the creativity. The Ogre reminds me of the Monarchs wife on Venture Brothers for some odd reason though.

*druel druel* I love the bunnies They are sooo pink and sweet

Nice paintjobs! But the idea of basing a gaming team on a porno (assuming they are Playboy Bunnies) is a bit strange to me....

Haha I don't find it odd at all. After all, this hobby is for all sorts of strange people

I just think it's strange to advertise your tastes in reading so directly, but I do come from a very old fashioned upbringing.

That could be a huge discussion without a problem. I think that it depends a lot on the upbringing and the culture. I find it very interesting how different lives people live across the world.

To explain the bunnygirls, some of the guys at my gaming club decided to order some of the female gridiron teams from Shadowforge. We all chose different teams - but the humans and elves had already been chosen before I got mine. It was either the bunnygirls or go for the nuns or orcs!

Anyway - enough off topic chat. They're just shown as a suggestion for use for pink paint

you could just paint all your warbands as though they've spent way too much time in the sun (read: tentacle pink as skincolour)

Pink is good for anything Slaaneshi. I used a lot on my Keeper of Secrets:
