 I'll see if I can find a copy, or if it was in one of the block of
WD's I didn't pick up.

 Funny you should mention that... I did a 40K Chaos Terminator in Tzeentch
colors. I used Armoury 'Jupiter Pink' and 'Midnight Blue Metallic' with
'Copper/Brass' hilights. It could be picked out quite clearly from across
a large room. Dayglo and high contrast, eeewwwwwie, shudder! Perfect for
Chaos, not so good for Mundane Marines.
