I won't be going down for a few more weeks.

i feel like mordian blue with a black wash will do the job the best. ive seen night lords painted a few ways, and they seem to look alot better when you can tell the blue is actually blue.

Personally, I think he should just paint ultra marines blue and do the trim green.... OH WAIT.

My only problem is that I want my army to look really dark and menacing while making the lightning bolts really pop and not like crimson fists with bat wings and brass trim... ill try out some methods on some throw away marines, but thank you for the suggestions

The problem is that, unless you have great lighting, something like midnight blue = black.  You need it to be a little lighter so that you can tell it's dark blue.
