Vallejo Squidmar Colour Murdered 214 – 18ml
Vallejo Squidmar Colour Murdered (74.214) is an 18ml model paint from Vallejo’s Squidmar Colour range. With its darkly themed name, Murdered is a colour to consider when planning fantasy miniatures, horror-inspired figures and character designs with a sinister or supernatural appearance.
Colour selection plays an important role in establishing the character of a painted miniature. For horror and dark fantasy subjects, painters often choose colours according to the atmosphere they want to create, the materials represented and the details they wish to emphasise. Murdered is an individually named colour within the Squidmar collection for incorporating into these projects.
Horror and Dark Fantasy Miniatures
Horror-themed miniatures cover a wide range of subjects, including undead figures, supernatural beings, monsters and fictional characters. Their appearance often depends on the relationship between the colours chosen for clothing, equipment and anatomical details.
Murdered is a colour to consider when developing a scheme for these subjects. It may be incorporated into selected areas of a figure or used alongside other colours to establish the intended appearance.
For a group of related fantasy creatures, repeating a particular colour across selected features can help create a consistent visual identity while leaving room for differences between individual models.
Fantasy Characters and Equipment
Character clothing and equipment provide numerous opportunities for colour variation. Robes, cloaks, armour decorations and ornamental accessories can all contribute to the overall appearance of a fantasy miniature.
Murdered may be considered for these areas when its colour suits the intended design. Smaller details such as painted symbols, decorative fittings and fictional equipment can also form part of a coordinated colour scheme.
When painting several figures from the same fictional faction, using consistent named colours makes it easier to maintain a recognisable appearance across clothing and equipment.
Creature Details and Themed Scenery
Imaginary creatures allow painters considerable freedom in their choice of colours. Fictional skin, markings, scales and other anatomical features can be painted according to the intended character design rather than a historical reference.
Murdered can be considered for these miniature painting projects, including supernatural creatures and horror-inspired subjects.
The same approach applies to fantasy scenery. Decorative features, imaginary structures and fictional objects can share colours with the figures displayed alongside them, helping to connect the different elements of a miniature scene.
