Hi all!

In the Citadel Paint app, it shows a Kurnoth Hunter with a teal bow. It shows the colours necessary and I have bought those, but it looks lighter and like there is some green in there.

Any insights / tips? Looking to mimic this and also use for the witchblades on my Ulthwé Aeldari.

Thanks in advance.

Looks a little like careful use of Nighthaunt Gloom.

You could use some of the techniques found in this tutorial on Warhammer Community:

'It is a source of constant consternation that my opponents
cannot correlate their innate inferiority with their inevitable
defeat. It would seem that stupidity is as eternal as war.'

Thanks for the tips so far! Yes I saw the article on Warhammer Community. Very interesting. Not using the new contrast paints yet but will give them a go if I start collecting Sylvaneth.

The way I paint my Sylvaneth weapons is to basecoat Celestra grey, wash with Nihilakh Oxide, and then highlight from there.

Like in this video -

Another good tip. Thanks! I guess it will just take some experimentation.
