From StuartL - A Spooktacular Entry - 40 Points

Hello again fellow challengers.

My second post today is a set of GW Nighthaunt minis. I got them as part of a starter set for Age of Sigmar that I picked up cheap a few years back. I have no intention of playing AoS, but I figured I could always use the models for something else. I painted up the Stormcast half of the box ages ago, but I have had these ghostly types sitting in my box ever since. Recently I have been watching some Youtube videos about painting minis in a more grimdark/Blanchitsu/'28' style. One of the common points for most of the tutorials was using a smaller colour palette to create a more unified look, so this was the challenge I set myself when painting these spooks. Take a look and see if you can guess how many colours were used in the painting of these minis and their bases.

If you guessed 4 colours, you are correct. All of these models were painted in the entirety in various blends of Vallejo Ivory, Hull Red, Heavy Goldbrown and Black Grey. At times I mixed in some Matt Medium to get a bit of transparency, but there are no other paints used here. It was certainly a fun little challenge to try, figuring out how to make different shades and colours with a very limited set of original paints took some doing. The bulk of the ghosts was done by drybrushing a mix of Heavy Goldbrown and Ivory over the top of the figures, adding more and more ivory until the top of the mini got a pure Ivory drybrush. 

So, for 8x 28mm minis, I am going to ask my minion for 40 points for my score.

The models and the bases have a fair number of skulls between them, 26 by my count, so those will be added to my Skull Duel total.

Skullz Total: 104

Your minimalist pallet paid off handsomely on these horrors Stuart.  I don't speak GW, but the flying ghost things in the first pictures look like something that I could use in my RPGs.  And the hunchback dead horse thingy playing at the drum is the stuff of nightmares.  Once again I will delegate the Skull inventory.
