Step-by-step painting tutorial for the C’Tan Shard of the Nightbringer — the living embodiment of death itself, a shattered god bound in necrodermis and unleashed upon the battlefield in Warhammer 40K.
This project is perfect for fans of dark cosmic horror, energy-based effects, and painters who want to push contrast, glow, and atmosphere to the extreme.

In this video, I bring the Nightbringer to life using layered dry brushing, deep shadow work, and intense energy highlights.
Ethereal transitions, cold metallic elements, and spectral glow combine to create a figure that feels otherworldly, ancient, and utterly lethal.

The approach is fast but dramatic — focused on silhouette, light, and motion rather than tiny details.
Whether you’re adding a god-shard to your Necron force or painting a terrifying display piece, this tutorial delivers maximum presence with efficient techniques.
