Figured I've finished enough models for this collection to warrant a highlight on the first page. -Objective Markers- -Kaygil Jathea - Corsair Queen- -Lord Kharon - Chaos Sorcerer- -Slave-Knight Tor'vek - Chaos Terminator Lord- -Second Claw - Chaos Legionaries- -Centurion - Chaos Dreadnought- -Cult of the Red Angel - Raptors- -Fourth Claw - Khorne Berzerkers- -Chaos Rhino- -Chaos Vindicator- -------- -Khârn the Betrayer- -Azrakh the Annihilator- -Noise Marine- -Daemon Prince- -Abaddon the Despoiler- -------- I'm awful at introductions, but yes, another Night Lords army blog. Inspired by the Night Lords trilogy and about a decade of "I should really get around to that", this is less of an army project as I don't really play 40k these days and more of an art project for myself. Hilariously, it took me 8 months to settle on a basing scheme, but more on that in a second. The first thing I built and painted for the army was a set of objective markers. The inspiration is rather obvious, of course, but the Souls series provided me with a ton of inspiration for the project, from the ashen waste basing scheme to a general sense of mood I want to approach the Warband and their current engagement. The basing was a nightmare to decide upon. I wanted something that contrasted well with the midnight blue and bronze of the Legion, but nothing too complicated or that'll take away from the models. The final bit of inspiration was the Kiln of the First Flame, this wasteland of ash choked ruins of a once great empire, now crumbled, broken and near forgotten, its inhabitant shadows of a past greatness. There's a lot of fun parallels between the series and 40k. The large base belongs to a Venomcrawler, which currently is awaiting priming. And inspired by the all the Heresy nonsense going on right now, I added a single lost soul to the warband, a forgotten remnant of ancient glory. Some actual Night Lords are on the desk at the moment, though I have no idea when I'll get around to finishing them as I've been distracted lately playing through Final Fantasy 7.
