Red and blue Nighthaunt with bronze/copper accents

  1. Base Chaos Black
  2. Paint the upper cloak with Mephiston Red then recess shade with thinned Nuln Oil Build up highlights with Mephiston Red then drybrush thinned Evil Sunz Scarlet thinned Wild Rider Red and thinned Fire Dragon Bright
  3. Paint lower cloaks with Sotek Green then fade into Baharroth Blue then the bottom tips as White Scar Paint tips pure Sotek first and then fade very thinned sotek dry brushed into black. Fill in transition with pure sotek dry brushed. Remaining layers thinned before being dry brushed. By layering over pure sotek on tips the transition is smoothed and thinned baharroh still provides a good colour. Following thinned white scar you may need to dry brush pure baharroth blue over the transition to get a smooth fade

  5. Chainmail and masks painted in Runelord Brass then Nuln Oil
  6. Blades with Castellax Bronze then Agrax Earthshade then tips with Castellax Bronze
  7. Chains as Leadbelcher Nuln Oil
  8. Bones as Zandri Dust Agrax Earthshade Zandri Dust Ushabti Bone Screaming Skull
  9. Wooden handles with Rhinox Hide then drybrush Mournfang Brown
  10. Gravestones with Russ Grey Nuln Oil Administratum Grey
