Hey guys, I’m taking a break from painting Windriders and painted some more Nighthaunt models, working on refining my paint scheme. The two models on the left were the first two models I painted, while I made some changes for the three models on the right. I used an airbrush for the fade on the robes, which helps to create a smoother blend, and changed the base rim colour from Charadon Granite to Steel Legion Drab. Which batch do you prefer and why?

Stahly is the founder of Tale of Painters. He lives in Craftworld Hamburg, located in the north of Germany, where he walks the Path of the Graphic Designer. He transitioned from Lego to Games Workshop models at the tender age of 11 and didn't look back ever since. He is known for bold colour schemes and sharp edge highlights, which he paints with typical German perfectionism (one of the reason he is such a notoriously slow painter).
While you are at it, you could also try darker brown (Dryad Bark?) or more reddish brown (Mournfang Brown?) for base trim. I agree with the previous poster that there should be some contrast between the base and the trim but I don't think that Steel Legion Drab is the right shade of brown in this case.
I prefer the Steel Legion Drab. The contrast between the base and ground work plays well with the browns and greens in the grave weapons.
