Kill Team – Night Lords

Night Lords are known for their terror tactics. whilst loving the lore, I tend to find the classic paint scheme with lighting and the eclectic skin-fashion too cheesy. hence this color scheme was born.

The night lords kill team was purchased to complement a Warhammer Quest Blackstone Fortress set. I like adding value to these sets by adding a hand full of miniatures, allowing the collection to be used in various games. In this case: Kill Team and Necromunda.

Since the classic color scheme is too cheesy for my taste and I intended to paint the Night Lords in the same colours like the entire set of villains of the Blackstone Fortress set, I drew inspiration from the Blackstone Fortress and Kill Team Gallowdark art. Similar to my Van Saar, the scheme evolves around teal, dark blue and a contrasting orange-red lighting from below. The metals got a few parts of blue mixed into them, much like all the other colours, even the red cloth. This is to base them in a dim, cold environmental lighting, which intensifies the contrast with those parts, touched by the red source lighting from below.

Commission insight

The Night Lords were painted to the level “Pro”, with complex environmental lighting, multi layered edge highlighting and grime effects.
