I just haven't been crazy enough to do it, though. I'd just do a blue in the same vibrance as the green here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These look similar in style to the following: I considered this as, as you rightly say, it looks awesome. Regarding repainting... go for it!

Gitzdee Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Anyone ever seen someone use wild riders as hexwraiths? I need some nice ideas. I figured the masks and vines/roots match with the Nighthaunt aswell. They need some kind of scythes though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spray Primer: Chaos Black 2. Spray Primer, Zenithal method - Gray Seer (this means pick a point that a light source would be and spray only from that direction) 3. Layer Paint: Corax White over edges and flames 4. Contrast Paint: Aethermatic Blue or Hexwraith Flame (if green is desired) over some edges and all flames 5. Shade Paint: Nuln Oil Gloss over the Aethermatic Blue or Hexwraith Flame Bases 1. Astrogranite Debris Texture 2. Nuln Oil or Black Templar Contrast 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnixLHQ Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 (edited) So which one of you is this? https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg7u4NqNRTO/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= Absolutely beautiful take on the grim bloody motif that looks easy to do. EDIT: Here's how to do it. I think I can just do the oil and blood steps to my existing scheme to great effect. I'll have to test it and see. EDIT 2: I've taken the liberty to write out the steps used in the video. I converted any non-Citadel paints to Citadel as close as I could color-wise, in case one cannot or wishes not to find the alternatives listed. Quote Models 1. Spray Primer: a matt black like Chaos Black 2. Spray Primer, Zenithal method - a bone color like Wraithbone 3. Contrast Paint: Skeletal Horde over bones and limbs Accent - Plants 4. Contrast Paint: Blood Angels Red for all roses and gravethorn blooms 5. Contrast Paint: Militarum Green for vines and leaves Accent - Wood 6. Contrast Paint: Snakebite Leather (1:1 with water) over any wood and vines 7. Contrast Paint: Plaguebreaker Flesh for edges and bolts of the wood 8. Contrast Paint: Militarum Green over bits of wood and flesh for a decayed look Accent - Leather 9. Contrast Paint: Wyldwood Accent - Metal and Bases 10. Dark earth terrain paint or Astrogranite Debris Texture on outer weapon edges and entire bases 11. Layer Paint: any metal paint like Grey Knight's Steel or Leadbelcher over all metal, with gold like Retributer Armour reserved for heroes' accents and trim 12. Technical Paint: Nihilakh Oxide or Dry Paint: Ryza Rust (mix dry paints with Lahmian Medium to get a wet pigment) over any metal bits you want to show rust or corrosion Accent - Miscellaneous 12. Contrast Paint: Basilicanum Grey for all hair, tails, and gravestones Varnish (Optional, to protect your base before moving on) Oils 13. Shade Paint: Nuln Oil or similar over entire models and bases. Wick away excess. Two coats if desired. 14. Once dry, cotton buff over the oil to increase contrast on raised edges 15. Contrast Paint: (White Spirit is a paint thinner. Maybe Lahmian or Contrast Medium is similar) to lessen oil, if desired Blood 16. Technical Paint: Blood for the Blood God, 1:1 with water, load on to a wide brush and flick onto models (it'll get everywhere, so be careful) and a few swipes 17. Go over the beads of blood with a brush lightly loaded with White Spirit (again, maybe Lahmian or Contrast Medium) to break up the globs into more realistic sizes and congealment 18. Bloody up the weapons and smear away from the cutting edges Object Source Lighting 19. Airbrush Paint: Phalanx Yellow on and around any light sources in any way that light would spill onto the model from the light source as it radiates out (if, like me, you have no airbrush try Contrast Paint: Bad Moon Yellow and be careful not to allow pooling) 20. Airbrush Paint: Troll Slayer Orange (or, Contrast Paint: Magmadroth Flame) over the yellow on the edges and lengths of flames Final Model Touches 21. Contrast Paint: Black Templar on edges, spirit whisps, outer-most flame edges Final Base Touches 22. Contrast Paints: Iyanden Yellow, Gryph Hound Orange, and Blood Angels Red. Paint a piece of paper fading from light to dark on both sides, matching, and let dry. Use a leaf texture hole cutter to punch out Autumn leaves. Glue them down, and then oil wash them when dry I think the Oils, Blood, and Final Model Touches steps can be used over existing paint jobs to quick-and-dirty up some grimdark models. That's what I'll be testing some time in the future, and if it works out I've got an answer to my grimdark cravings.

lare2 Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Longstrike are still rock hard. Even more so now that GW tried to nerf them. Previously I'd run a block of 6, which was susceptible to being wiped out in one go. Now, 2x3 is defensively a lot better and can really create some crossfire. They're a priority target.

Boggler Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Nate Trentanelli won Best Overall at Season of War GT this past weekend. He won on a combo of Sportsmanship, and his beautiful hobby skills. His conversions were really well done and the whole army theme is incredible. It was certainly a pleasure to see.

Boggler Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Here are some more Nighthaunt armies that were in contention for Best Hobby and or Player's Choice. Except for mine! Because I'm too lazy to make a display board! And also too lazy to pack my models nicely, they just sit on the car seat like that. The hobby skills out there is amazing! 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm about to make 5 videos batreps of my games this weekend. Before I do I'll mention some changes I think I need to make before my next games. 2x20 Bounty Hunter BGR in Scarlett Doom is very strong. These are almost auto-include for my lists. I really liked the unit of 10 Dreadscythes. Lots of attacks and aren't GV so don't melt to Bounty Hunters. Lady O hasn't been performing well for me. At 340pts that is the same as 2 x Spirit Torment and a unit of 10 Chainrasps. I think I'll take the latter next time and see how it goes. Her Lifting the Veil and Mortarch of Grief abilities did nothing. No Rest of the Wicked never returned more than 3 models. Myrmourn Banshees are also auto-include. I'm still not taking the Purple Sun. Even though it is clearly an advantage to have in my list.

Rors Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Been inspired to share some of my nighthaunt. The idea behind the theme is they're meant to be in sunrise colors. I call them the dawn haunt legion and even wrote up some really nerdy backstory for them. I kinda wish I had gone with the monochromatic scheme with the one pop color though. That scheme just looks so good. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My opponent I play against regularly is already ignoring her and tries to shot / reach my small support heroes.
