What purples for Hawk Lords?

[Axineton]

Haven’t got a clue what colour purples I’d begin to use for the Hawk Lords. Can a kind soul point me in the right direction?

Looking at Fandom, it appears there's two colours - one's more "red" than the other - which doesn't help! The "firstborn" marine looks a bit like Vallejo Warlord Purple, but I'm not sure about the Primaris - Vallejo Hexed Lichen is too dark, as is Purple and GW's Xereus Purple.

 

Looking at what others have done, Miniac has a tutorial where they used Screamer Pink, and I've also seen someone use P3 Beaten Purple.

I'd try AK 11075 Violet Red or maybe AK 11074 Deep Purple (also useful for smoke on the water).

Cheers guys I’ll take a look at all these suggestions.

Two Thin Coats Wave 3 is coming soon, and one of the colours is Spectral Purple - that could be a good base to work from

I happen to be painting some myself and I have gone for a base of GW Naggaroth Night. You might find it a little bit too dark but I like the way it contrasts with the gold trim.
