Thank you so much for your comment, it really encourages me to keep going when I know there are people who get something out of these videos. Good luck with your Night Lords, I have a new video about a Night Lords Contemptor coming out in a couple of weeks, where I show how I painted flayed skin 👍

Thanks for sharing this. Awesome color.

Wow, in my opinion this is the easiest and most comprehensible painting tutorial for Night Lords and CSM in general...! It is also very pleasant to listen to you, voice and background music fit very well, thank you very much! Now I'm even more looking forward to the new Night Lords Kill Team...! Once again, thank you very much and have a wonderful Christmas! Greetings from Germany.

Wow, for the second time today I was really impressed by your tutorial. I will have to give this a try. I had told mysel f I wasnt going to like metallic Night Lords after 30 years of painting them in normal dark blues.

Wow, thank you so much! 😄 I hope you have fun trying it out. I've gone back and forth when it comes to painting Night Lords, they were my first army over 20 years ago and I've painted them "normal" too. But in 30k I saw some cool metallic ones and wanted to try that. You can get smoother results with an airbrush and that would work great for the new beakies mk vi coming out. But for CSM I think this is so much quicker, due to all the trims!

Very nice.

Just did a test model following this advice. I love it. You really break it down well, and I love the balance of colors (the less/non-metal trim with the Gore-Grunta especially). Thanks so much for putting this guidance out for others.

Thank you so much, good luck with your painting! I don't think an airbrush is 100% required here. Just replace the zenithal highlight of silver with a drybrush instead, focusing from up above. If you still want to do the gloss varnish step after that, you can always do it with a brush or spray can 👍

You know, thanks to your videos I just realized that the new CSMs are way more versatile that I originally thought! I spent quite a few dollars buying raptors/talons kits and bits to make a decent enough host for my NL when, as you just shown me, I could as well have just added jump packs to my marines to do the trick, LOL.

@KabinMiniatures

3 жыл бұрын

Yeah, I really like the new multipart kit we got a couple of years ago! Much more versatile than the Shadowspear ones, which makes it easy to do Raptors/Warp Talons. Before that I was trying to do true-scale NL with modified MKIV armour, which was a pain in the butt... The proportions of the new CSM models are so good that I just couldn't use the older plastic Raptor/Talon bodies anymore. While the poses are great in that kit, their age is starting to show in terms of their "squatiness".

Really great work done here. I very much how you did with the blue and how much it pops out.

Great video! Love the end result. I’ve been giving this a try myself, i skipped the zenithal and I feel it makes a huge difference… mine is soooo much darker 😫 maybe leadbelcher on its own is too dark?

@KabinMiniatures

2 жыл бұрын

Thank you so much! Yes, Leadbelcher on its own would be quite dark, I imagine. If you don't have an airbrush, I would suggest drybrushing or layering with Runefang Steel, focusing on the top parts. It doesn't have to be pretty, as it'll be covered up by contrast and shade paints anyway. 👍

Hi Kabin ! :) I'd like to adapt this colour scheme to paint 6mm Night Lords for Epic Armageddon. Is it a good idea to stay with metallic colours or is it better to only keep mat ones ? :) thank you

@KabinMiniatures

3 жыл бұрын

Hi there, I'm glad to hear you want to try out this method! Hmmm, at that scale I'm not sure if the metallic effect will show up much? Not sure. I guess that it could work with an off-white undercoat as well (like Wraithbone). However, then you would have to paint the trims with metallic colours after the armour. Maybe do a test and see what you think?

Since I don't own an airbrush, is it possible to do the zenithal highlight using a rattle can?

@KabinMiniatures

3 жыл бұрын

Sure, if you undercoat the whole thing with a dark metal paint and then do a careful zenithal with a lighter silver from above. That, or just drybrush it, focusing from above.

@KabinMiniatures

@@Longhorn1228 thanks, that's an old video on my channel. That colour scheme used an airbrush to do a gradient from black to blue on the armour and then edge highlighting with a normal brush. After that it's traditional metal trims etc. Takes a lot more time than the metallic scheme. Might be a video for the future, right now I'm working on a bunch of other content to be featured on the channel, including trying to finish up Be'lakor.

Just one question for my understanding: Did you prime the model before applying the Leadbelcher?

@KabinMiniatures

7 ай бұрын

I primed the model with Leadbelcher spray. If you don't have a silver spray, you can just prime it black for example, and paint/airbrush on a silver paint after that.

How would this look on flat panels of a vehicle? Im worried id make it streaky

@KabinMiniatures

11 ай бұрын

That is a risk with large, flat surface areas. If you own an airbrush, you can definitely apply it more evenly with that. I use that with my 30k Night Lords here on the channel 👍 If you don't have that, maybe try applying several coats, more thinned down, to even the streaks a bit? Haven't tried that myself, though...

Oh, that sounds weird? I don't think GW have changed the formula of the "old" contrast paints... the only thing I could think of is if the bottle still had pigment on the bottom and wasn't properly mixed. But I'm assuming you did mix it and it still sounds weird that it would be so green... very strange. Maybe you need to use another colour or mix some blue contrast paint into it?

Great video, very simple and easy to replicate! I do the same with my night lords as a base or battle ready. Around the trim I leave most of it silver except for the shoulders and maybe some select areas. Hearkens back to the legion's orignal color scheme from the Horus Heresy. If you plan on doing more of these I would look into the champions of death blood bowl team for nice bits to use on the NLs and to try painting the lightning trim like actual lightning.
