The original paintjob was a horrible early experiment using artists inks. I had given him a wash of blue ink over a white primer basecoat. He was more Blue Man Group than Bela Lugosi and so it was time this scary dude got a spooky repaint.

The repaint was an experiment in glazing over a zenithal highlight with a single colour. In my case this was Vallejo Game Colour Dark Green and I reinforced the highlights by mixing in some Vallejo Game Colour Dead White. I picked out his eyes in Vallejo Game Air Scarlett Red and stuck a pin in him, he's done.
Like all of my recently painted minis this one got a protective coat of Windsor & Newton Matte Varnish from the airbrush thinned down with Vallejo Airbrush Flow Improver.
The C18 Night Horrors range is a particularly interesting series of minis and no doubt was designed to accompany the Gothic Horror Floorplans and GW licensed edition of Call of Cthulhu which were released about the same time.
They were excellent value as you got 5 "classic horror" minis in a blister pack for only £2.50 which if GW used the Bank of Englands inflation calculator would be under £10 in today's money. Well I guess it's true what they say...
