So I was lucky and could buy myself finally all of the Dol Guldur Nazgul :-D
Now I want of course to paint them very good^^

When looking for painting guides, descriptions etc the only thing i stumbled upon was this
https://www.warhammer-community.com/201 ... ge-post-3/

However I like the official color scheme of the Necromancer BUT this model on the GW page does not include the list of paints used for it.
And while the FW page features the paint list for the Nazgul, I really wanna bring in some green touch to them. Not in the direction of the Army of the Dead - the metal and black on the Nazgul can stay as officially listed but just adding some dark green on the clothes.

So I wondered if someone here has the offical paint list of the Necromancer AND has some input for me to the Dol Guldur Nazgul =)

The only paint guide I know of for the Necromancer is in the old sourcebook Fall of the Necromancer. It uses a combination of inks and old citadel paints.
My recommendation would be to download the Citadel Paint app and use their guides on what colors to use. While they don't have the Necromancer model in their guide, you can use it for suggestions on what greens to use.

Sounds like a plan =)

I also asked on FB for other peoples impressions and the colors they have used.

I would be very interested on pictures of Dol Guldur Nazgul from people of the forum + which colors they used ;)

I had painted my necromancer in dark purple, so went with that and maroon for the Dol Guldur nazguls.

I think I have actually seen around the web more Dol Guldur nazgul painted with colors than with strictly black.

Thank you for your inputs =)

@Mapper: The purple really makes them standing out =)
And yes i knew from the very beginning that i want my Nazgul not to be just shades of black. I will most likely go for green variant.

@Dead Marsh Spectre:
Mouth looks good =) And although i think the same robes work on the Nazgul, I want to go into another direction - because i think green fits well and because i want to distinguish them from their war of the ring era versions.

I will post here when i have done the painting =)
