Warhammer Colour Base: Night Lords Blue 12ml

Night Lords Blue is a dark, slightly desaturated blue-violet — the signature tone of the VIIIth Legion and a cracking base for stormy, cold armour schemes. Opaque and even in a coat or two, it gives you a moody foundation to build electric highlights over.

At a glance

Best for

• Laying a solid, opaque foundation in one or two coats
• Blocking in cold, dark armour and cloth
• Taking layer highlights and shade washes cleanly over the top

Get it down early and the rest of the model builds faster — crackling blue highlights read far better over a dark, even base.

Get it down early and the whole model builds faster. Fill out your base paints, then move up through the layer range — and grab a brush while you're here.
