How to Paint Nighthaunt for Warhammer Age of Sigmar
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 май 2022
- Nighthaunt are one of my favorite armies for Warhammer Age of Sigmar, and with the new book coming out, I figure I'd show you how I painted mine. This scheme uses an airbrush and an enamel wash to really get that ethereal feel, along with some texture work beneath the paintjob. There's also a bit of a basing tutorial included!
Thanks to Gravehammer and some of the folks of the Grimdark painting community for inspiration and assistance working out how to execute this paint scheme.

I just love how that bladegheist revenant model looks
These models for this unit are solid.i haven't pick up a brush in years but now I'm tempted to start painting again looking at these models and your painting style.
Phenomenal take on these sculpts! Awesome work sir!
Thanks! Glad you like it!
Love the use of the crackle effects! Learned it from Gravehammer like a year and a half ago and use it on a bunch of difference models now. Well done!
Thank you. Glad you like it! Picked it up from Gravehammer, same as you. Definitely not enough use of the texture paints in this hobby for...well...texture!
@@ArtoriusCarter I’ve watch this a few times this AM and I am leaning towards your method. Seems pretty straight forward and I’ve had issues in the past with over spraying inks.
It is a very forgiving scheme, for sure. Best of luck with your painting, and feel free to tag me on Instagram @artoriuscarter if you end up painting some ghosts with it!
Instant Sub and a Follow my man. Love the style and music, editing really on point. Can't wait to see more of your work bro, Good luck and have a great day/night!
Thank you! Glad you enjoy it.
I'm thinking about getting into the hobby, I feel pulled by these Nighthaunt, the Ossiarch Bonereapers and Sylvaneth, love what you did with the color scheme on this mini! Cheers!
Thank you! Happy to be so inspiring, and welcome!
looks great!
Thank you! Cheers!

love it love it love it !
thank you thank you thank you!
Do you use the Vallejo Fluoreszenz Color ?
Yes, most of the colors come as a set.
I'm relatively new to airbrushing and am looking to do something similar with Nighthaunt models. Do you add anything to add transparency to the flourecent green when you apply it? Also, what PSI and distance do you hold the airbrush from the model when applying the glowing bit? When I have been trying it's covering too much of the undershading!
Fluo paints in general tend to be a bit transparent, especially ones formulated for airbrush. You can add some airbrush medium to adjust it if you like. As far as PSI and distance, it'll depend on your airbrush, your painting technique, and even your location! I recommend practicing with a few combinations on something like a piece of paper and then taking note of your settings. If you have to do a couple passes to get a color you're happy with, that's totally okay! Best to start 'too light/thin', and build up, than just going full-throttle.
Are there any other black washes you would recommend for this scheme? The one you used is hard to get where I am.
AK and Tamiya both make enamel washes, and you just need a simple black one. In a pinch an oil wash will work, too, but it'll take much, much longer to cure.
None of my Nighthaunts have gravestones. What set has them coming out of gravestones?
This particular model is a promotional Bladegheist released for store anniversaries. The scheme works just as well with many other sorts of rocks and stones, though.
What about a varnish to protect the mini after painting? Would you go with matte or satin? Would it mess with the fluorescent paint?
I use a matte varnish ('dullcote') and even a gentle satin varnish should be fine. Most varnishes won't actually 'mess with' the paint itself, but a gloss, for example will make it hard to actually look at softer effects on a surface due to the reflection.
Ok, thank you! Love the video.
Loved your work! I just got into the hobby and played with some friend's armies. Nighthaunt is going to be my first army and i want to try your style so much, the thing is that i have not an airbrush and i dont know if i can achieve the minimum of your splendid work! Any tips? Thanks so much!
Glad to be so inspiring! You can use a very controlled spray can to get the initial zenithal, and thinned coats for any other applications. It won't look quite the same but the enamel wash will cover a lot. Also, start with your smallest/most numerous battleline units. The repetition of doing the small minis will help you nail down the scheme for when you get to bigger or more important stuff.
@@ArtoriusCarter Thanks 🙏 for the answer! Also it would be most welcomed if you upload your work with your other fellow 👻, either only the finished model or the whole process! Keep up your magnificent work!
@@ArtoriusCarter Hello there! A quick question, how is it that your green fluo is not that vivid? Did you mix it with contrast medium and in what proportions?
@@Tsortso1 I generally don't thin the green fluo for this too much, if at all. Through the airbrush you can go light on your coats and built it up. Additionally, going over a gradient of grey or white will, in general, not have it as vibrant as if you were painting over pure white.
Hey man, I absolutely love this colour scheme and am trying out some variations of it on some of the other Nighthaunt models I have. I'm curious about which model you've used as an example here, as it looks like a bladegheist revenant but this model isn't one in the box. Where did this one come from?
Happy the scheme inspired you! The model is indeed a bladegheist, but it is the 500 Store promo model 'Garkorr'. I figured it'd be a fun way to make a Knight of Shrouds on 'foot' for my bladegheist-heavy force.
@@ArtoriusCarter Oh wow, I didn't know that even existed! It's a fantastic sculpt and you've certainly done it justice with this scheme.
Is it ok to use brushes for the whole thing instead of an airbrush as I do not own one tragically?
yep! Just be gentle going over the texture-painted areas if you include them.
