These were pretty enjoyable to paint, lots of character in each model. Even though I managed to break a couple of pieces, including the twine of the Briar Queen, I managed to repair each breakage to almost invisibility. GW, why do you make your models so fragile?

A lot of people ask me about my Nighthaunt paint scheme. I basecoat them purple, then apply zenithal highlights of Corax White with an airbrush. Then I do some additional purple glazing and shading, a couple of gentle drybrushes with Corax White and pure white, and finally an edge highlight of pure white. I also made a detailed tutorial:
