Kaldoth Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Hey all!Getting back into the swing of things after a long hiatus. Long story short I was looking on ebay for some cheap miniatures, and believe it or not I encountered a 1500 pt Night Lords force that I sold probably six or seven years ago :P They were still all unpainted and posted for way cheaper than what I sold them for, so ironically I now own my old Night Lords again :D Anyway, I was wondering if anyone knew a good paint recipe for these guys? Again, I'm getting back after a looooooooooong hiatus. Most of my paint bottles are the old black twist-cap bottles (of which 99% are all dried up), so this paint range is brand new to me. Also, what in the heck is a foundation paint :huh: Any tips would be appreciated ^_^ Cheers, -Kal Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/279296-looking-for-a-good-night-lords-paint-recipe/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Blaire Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Foundation Paints aren't even part of the new range. :D Hopefully no one is trying to sell them to you as such. The new GW line uses Base, Shade, Layer, and Glaze pots. I'm not a Night Lords player, so I'm not totally sure the following are appropriate colors for them, but hopefully I'm close: For a midnight blue, you probably want to start with Kantor Blue and shade with either Nuln Oil or Drakenhof Nightshade (if you are using the new range). Could highlight with just a touch of Alaitoc Blue (or a mix of Kantor and Alaitoc), and do the lightning bolts in Alaitoc Blue -> Lothern Blue -> Ulthuan Grey for the bolts and just barely highlight the branch points and angles with spots of White Scar.

skawolf Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Sadly, that is so true about the foundation paints :( Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/279296-looking-for-a-good-night-lords-paint-recipe/#findComment-3443534 Share on other sites More sharing options...
FashaTheDog Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 This is a really good one: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/211817-night-lords-5th-company-by-db/?p=2528577. Then put in the oven at 400o for 30 minutes and you're done!

Aqui Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 I think Bryan Blaire's got it. The Kantor Blue and Drakenhof Nightshade make for a very dark blue Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/279296-looking-for-a-good-night-lords-paint-recipe/#findComment-3444463 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forté Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Look in the WIP area. Plenty of Night Lord's going on there by different people. Not all using GW paints either (I used Vallejo Game Colour Night Blue, shaded with Badab Black (would be Nuln Oil) with a couple of highlights).
