About the Project
Hey everyone, thanks for calling by. This is my Night Lords Chaos Space Marines army for Warhammer 40,000 Eight Edition. So far it is one half of Shadowspear but will be expanded upon down the line. It's my third Chaos Space Marine army since I started the game twenty-two years ago. The aim is to do it expediently to a tabletop or better than tabletop standard. Unlike some of my previous project logs this will have more a tutoring element incorporated. Thanks for reading!

Entry 20: Plasma Glow - Extra pictures
As the above unimaginative title suggests, here are additional pictured and alternative examples of use of the technique.
This is WIP and more photos are to be done
Entry 19: Orangey-Yellow Plasma Glow
Since Night Lords are a dark blue I didn’t want to go with the typical turquoise or light blue traditionally seen on Plasma Guns. I wanted something warmer to contrast and offset the dark blue power armour.
I checked the ever handy Warhammer TV on Facebook and hybridised these two videos together for what I was aiming to achieve.
Two thin ish coats of Jokaero Orange
A coat of Macharius Orange. This is an out of production paint. Just use a more orangey Orange of your choice. Troll Slayer Orange would be fine 
Do a wash of either Seraphim Sepia or Reikland Fleshshade. They give different effects but it’s just a shade and whichever you have on hand or prefer works
Highlight the coils with orange from stage two as per the Plasma Gun video above from the Warhammer TV video: different colours but same technique 
Highlight the coils with Averland Sunset. Again use the technique from the video 
Do a final highlight with Flash Gitz yellow or yriel yellow, it just needs to be lighter or brighter than the previous paint, continuing the technique from the coils as per the above linked videoHere are the finished results on two models. The Plasma effect on the Obliterators are complete but the models overall are not done. Below are examples of finished models with finished Plasma effects.
I’m very happy with this one. Note that it’s a recycled picture from a previous entry, reused as a reference example. It is relevant, after all. 
This one could have turned it better. It looks better in person though Entry 18: Group shots of completed Chaos Space Marine Squad
I’ve made a few updates today. It has mainly mounted up and meant to be stuff I kind of gradually did over the last few days but I’ve been busy til now. Enjoy the complete group photos below.
Entry 17: Tuesday’s Progress = Another Four Complete Night Lords
Last night I finished four more Night Lords. I took my time and paced myself as the edge highlighting required a lot of my focus and wasn’t something I wanted to rush and result in a slapdash job. I’m quite happy with them
I guess I have to do now is suss our Transfersand varnish them
Entry 16: Monday's Progress = Terrain Built and Four Complete Night Lords
I got two sets of these from my Conquest Magazine collection. More kits and terrain should be done in coloured plastic as the brown looks great as is. I’m trying to prime them but the weather is either too hot or humid.
I’m still not sure how I should paint them…
And I finished four More Chaos Space Marines. Enjoy!
Entry 15: Extra pictures at different angles, Part 2
And this is it for Sunday’s posts. I might do more tomorrow: or depends on my free time and what I can work on. When the four with drying bases are dry tomorrow morning I’ll tear into them quickly.
The last two edge highlights will take longer as they need to be near and accurate. I’ll also need to do touch-ups.
The it’s onto Phase 2: Obliterators, Greater Possessed and the Master of Possession
Entry 13: Sunday’s Progress Part 2
Here are some more models closer to completion: observe the base. I just need to touch up the hollow of the eye lens and do some edge highlights on the gold and blue
