A useful paint guide should connect colour accuracy, handling, and recipe context in one place.
Use Naggaroth Night as your main base colour and build it up with thin, controlled coats. It has excellent coverage. It works best over a black or dark purple primer. Thin it lightly. Good companion colours include Druchii Violet, Genestealer Purple, Pink Horror and Pallid Wych Flesh.
Do not force the basecoat into an NMM-style finish. It behaves much better in a standard layered workflow.
