Hey dudes and dudettes i have finally finished my Night haunter and have done a showcase video (link below)

[Wyvern]

very nice work brother looks really sweet

[helterskelter]

Very nice elstonation! I see you went with the gold for the trim, looks good. The little lightning bolts you've got in are ace

[Noctem Cultor]

See this is what puts me off, I'm cynical and spiteful you know the good traits of our Legion.

Nice mini as always Elston! Glad you went for the deeper blue on him!

[elstonation]

Thanks peeps, it helps that i was shown a thing or two from the painters at forgeworld. Really enjoyable mini to paint once you get into the swing of things but is very daunting to start. :)

[Augustus b'Raass]

What'd they teach you? :d

[elstonation]

They taught me the ways of the night lords (how to cheat) :) Here some pics as well because i know spinning models can be infuriating to focus on

 

 

[Augustus b'Raass]

Well, what did they teach you? Share the love, mate :D I'm asking nicely - but the skinning pits await, if you get where I'm going. ;)

[Flint13]

^^ Seriously.

 

We like you El, but we'll stab you too :D

[Noctem Cultor]

A how to cheat at painting awesome Night Lords tutorial?

Share your warp magic so we can act like we are better than that and the use it to our own means. On an unrelated note has Sevatar got a release eta yet?

:P

[elstonation]

OK, give me a day or two as I'm putting together the video tutorial so I can show you what I did. If any one has has a query about a specific way I did part of him in can answer them pretty quickly but to empty my head of tricks might take a while. I'll post the links up as soon as the vids are ready

[elstonation]

Ok so i have part 1 finished here's how i started the model 

[Flint13]

All the likes!

 

More seriously though, that's pretty darn helpful. Thanks for putting this together!

Thanks elstonation, this is great ill be using this for new tips.

[Haakon Norsal]

Vey Nice!!!!

[elstonation]

Thanks for the kind words, i'm hoping to get part two done tomorrow so i shall let you know when it's up. Thanks again

[Balthamal]

Ok so no pressure when I begin Konrad on the weekend then......

[Kol Saresk]

If by "no pressure" you mean "the hopes and dreams of all baby Night Lords everywhere lay upon your shoulders like a cloak fashioned from black iron of paranoia and is chokingly clasped about your neck with a collar made of despair", then yeah. "No pressure." ;)

[elstonation]

Hey peeps here's where things get really interesting part 2 

[Psykic_scribe]

Elstonation, these are excellent tutorials.  Your style and photography are so much more interesting than most of the YouTube tutorials. I am also amazed that you deliver such high quality painting whilst working with a camera in the way and keeping focused!

 

Some time soon, I am going to have to rip out the Chaos Lord's head that I have just finished and start again! 

[Wyvern]

Hail brothers.... And sister Flint!!

 

Progress has been made on my version of our broken farther, but alas i have reached an impasse.

I had always envisioned lord Curze to not get hung up too much on bling more function over style ( function here being scaring the poop outa ppl) so with that in mind i had planned on painting his armour trim a dark iron (also helps with melting into the shadows). But the more i think about it im questioning if itll look too plain, more grunt then overlord. Id be interested on getting your opinions please fellow lords of the night

I think a deep blue, with a leadbelcher trim would look really nice. but then some hazy subtle lightning bolt (not to many, just sporadically). In my mind that would fit the fluff of them hiding in the shadows and the dull lightning moving freely around there armour.
