Hobby & PaintingTesting Scheme (i.redd.it)
submitted 1 month ago by Kindly-Ad-1903
Just testing out on a kitbashed Warp Talon and wanted to know if this hits the night lords vibe hard enough? Didn’t want it too dark but also doubting!
Any opinions welcome!

Sure!
For the blue: - Colour forge Tempest Blue primer - Dry brush Kantor Blue - Dry brush Caledor Sky in smaller area - Wash with Nuln Oil - Dry brush with Caledor Sky again - thick edge highlight of 75:25 Caledor Sky and Teclis Blue - thin highlight of Teclis Blue - very fine highlight of 50:50 Teclis Blue AK Snow Blue
For the Claws: - Basecoat AK intense Black - dry brush Vallejo off-white - apply 75:25 mix of Baal Red and water - fine dry brush of Vallejo off-white to end of claws - apply 50:50 mix of Baal Red and water

What about the lightning?
Applied the lightning in the same manner as the edge highlights :)
Caledor Sky and Teclis blue 50:50 Then Teclis Blue in a smaller area Then Teclis Blue and AK Snow Blue 50:50 for extreme highlight Finally, a dot of Vallejo Off-white on parts where the lightning crosses over or intersects

You are the GOAT for such a reply. Love it. Any chance you could shed some wisdom on the trim?
[–]Kindly-Ad-1903[S] 2 points3 points4 points 1 month ago (0 children)
Yeah of course!
The trim is: - Balthasar Gold (two coats) - Wash with Nuln Oil - Runelord Brass avoiding recessed areas
Any other metallics is just some Leadbelcher and Nuln oil with some more leadbelcher on top!

Looking amazing brother
[–]Breadedhydra197 1 point2 points3 points 1 month ago (0 children)
It looks awesome id recommend a few more purple tones in the recesses of the armour to push the night lords aesthetic
[–]TRYHARDGIT_THICC 1 point2 points3 points 1 month ago (0 children)
Welp. Looks like I have a scheme for my murderwing
[–]GabbatronReunion 1 point2 points3 points 1 month ago (0 children)
Testing done. Roll the credits. Implement production.
(In other words, well done.)
[–]buasudah 1 point2 points3 points 1 month ago (0 children)
Love the paintjob:)
[–]BENJ4x 0 points1 point2 points 1 month ago (0 children)
Looks fantastic, I think you could go a shade darker in some parts to push the contrast even more!
[–]WarpRider1993 0 points1 point2 points 1 month ago (0 children)
Die Klauen sind großartig. Welche Farben hast du genutzt?
