Before I started working on Spiteclaw’s Swarm, I painted this limited edition model for my Nighthaunt collection: Garkorr, Bladegheist Revenant, available only for the 500 Warhammer stores celebration event. He will make a nice mercenary Knight of Shrouds for my Warcry warband. Check out more pictures after the jump, plus a complete list of all the paint recipes I used.

As usual with my Nighthaunt models, I managed to break something, one of the chains. A pain to repair, I had to pin it and resculpt the chains around with green stuff to hide the damaged parts. It’s noticeable, but only if you know it. Nighthaunt models are so fragile. Apart from that, it’s a pretty nice model full of movement, and I’m happy that I was able to add it to my collection.

Here are all the paint recipes, I used a combination of zenithal highlighting and a lot of Contrast paints over a Corax White basecoat, then added some highlights.
