VIIILegionaire. Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 So, I used to paint my Night Lords with midnight blue, unfortunately, I can't seem to find it. I don't think they make it anymore. Does anyone else know how to approximate the color?

Razblood Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Midnight Blue was discontinued unfortunately :( Necron Abyss is quite similar (a bit darker) so you could probably get away with using that with a little Liche Purple or Enchanted Blue mixed in (depending if you want old white lid Midnight Blue [1990s version was a bit more Purple] or black lid [2000s version was a bit more Blue]) that should get you a close enough colour :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/247596-paint-mixure/#findComment-2998128 Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazychib Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 If you can get your hands on the Vallejo paints, Night Blue from their Game Color range is meant to be a perfect match.

Brother Nihm Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Word of caution. (I don't know if you have used Midnight blue at all in the past) Midnight Blue was purplish in hue, not similar to the official deep blue shown in the books. Necron Abyss washed with Badab Black is a decent dark blue. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/247596-paint-mixure/#findComment-2999158 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhg033 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 to echo others advice/caution - in the very distant past when i started 40k with chaos as my first army (2nd edition, codex chaos just came out) i painted my night lords (badly) midnight blue and every time i used them i got asked if they were alpha legion as they didnt look dark enough. it is a lovely colour but it isnt a dark color so much Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/247596-paint-mixure/#findComment-2999254 Share on other sites More sharing options...
