Showcase: Nighthaunt Lord Vitriolic

In this showcase post, I share detailed pictures from every angle and explain how I painted the smoke effect.
Tutorial: How to paint Stahly’s purple Nighthaunt
In this tutorial I’ll show you how I paint the iconic purple-grey white of my Nighthaunt models.

After all, being Nagash’s thrall for all eternity is one thing – painting an army for all eternity is quite another.
