Captain Engelhardt Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 Ok, know I am curios: What did you do with the dreadnought ? He seems to be a bit enlarged, or is that just me ? :drool: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/104645-pre-heresyheresy-era-night-lords/page/3/#findComment-1343851 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doghouse Posted September 5, 2007 Author Share Posted September 5, 2007 Cheers guys!  Captain Engelhardt: I extended the legs, made the greaves bigger and widened the torso. It's a bit rough and ready looking but will do for now. I'm looking at building a newer version to the same scale as the new version of Captain Artibeus which will be absolutely massive.  Although I'm not one hundred percent happy with him I've just dullcoated Captain Artibeus. I will go back and darken the grenade, touch up the highlights, etc, but for now he's done as I want to get on with the army.  http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s196/Mutt2050/Picture023.jpg  http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s196/Mutt2050/Picture027.jpg  http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s196/Mutt2050/Picture024.jpg  http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s196/Mutt2050/Picture026.jpg  I originally tryed a snow base but wasn't happy with it so I've changed it to a city rubble style base. He's far from GD standards but I want a playable army of this newer scaled astartes so next it's onto Sergeant Mollusos and the first combat squad. I'm in the early stages of sculpting the next few guys but I'm aiming for as many as possible along with some actual scale vehicles as well.  http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s196/Mutt2050/Picture028.jpg  http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s196/Mutt2050/Picture022.jpg  http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s196/Mutt2050/Picture020.jpg  http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s196/Mutt2050/Picture021.jpg  I'm going to try to salavge the original dreadnought for the army as a stand in untill I can knock together a true scale version and have included some rather dark shots of the terror markings on his helmet. He stands at a little over seven feet tall when compared to a regular guardsman. At them moment I'm working on the Sergeant Mollusos model and three MkIV Night Lords built in the same way and then there is the Night Haunter model to accompany them.

Tsuro Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Your miniatures are fantastic, really inspiring. I can barely wait to see more of them. Would it be possible to get the height, width, depth etc. in mm of the new marines you're sculpting, or is it all done by eye?

Mithrilforge Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 hey doghouse, great stuff as always, you said in several posts about trying to get the right blend of color and speed...?? i found that the new foundation paints are perfect for nightlords - "necron abyss" & "mordian blue" and they give fantastic coverage from 1 Coat !!! anyway my 2cents great work keep it up  Mithril Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/104645-pre-heresyheresy-era-night-lords/page/3/#findComment-1354301 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doghouse Posted September 8, 2007 Author Share Posted September 8, 2007 Cheers guys! :(  krieger haggoroth: If I can get a couple of tactical squads finished I'll make some Raptors.  Tsuro: I go by eye but I'll see if I can take some measurements for you mate.  mithrilforge: Thanks for the tip mate, I agree Necron Abyss is brilliant for Night Lords.  Brother Nihm: Here you go...  With Artibeus finally out of the way I can focus on first sergeant Mollusos. Mollusos is a native of Nostramo and is a cold and overly brutal killer. With the Heresy now well underway Mollusos has become Artibeus's enforcer and assassin maintaining strict discipline and order within the ranks of the fifth company.  Update: First Sergeant Mollusos  I've started working the torso to establish the proper Mk II look. I'm just playing around with it at the moment before I shape it properly and add the rivets and other details. I'll be removing the hoses on the side of the rebreather and adding guitar strings running from either side running back over his shoulders. I've also bulked out the left leg and will begin adding the ringed armour to both legs before adding the front plates. Once the legs are done I can begin work on the groin plate.  http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s196/Mutt2050/Picture031.jpg  http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s196/Mutt2050/Picture032.jpg  http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s196/Mutt2050/Picture033.jpg  I've painted Artibeus's grenade black as I felt that it drew the focus away from the rest of the model.

Doghouse Posted September 9, 2007 Author Share Posted September 9, 2007 Thanks guys!  Update time...  http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s196/Mutt2050/Picture036.jpg  http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s196/Mutt2050/Picture037.jpg  http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s196/Mutt2050/Picture038.jpg  http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s196/Mutt2050/Picture039.jpg  As you can tell I haven't really paid too much attention to the back of the model and am now just begining to clean it up a little, I've added the front plates to the thighs and will add the front of the greaves next. I think I may be rushing this a little but I'm on a roll at the moment. I've added the basic shape for the knee pads and will clean them up as well as adding the other rivets to the torso. I also need to shape up the groin gaurd, adding detail like the plate hinges and rivets. Got to add the ribbing between the armour, add the butt plate and once the front leg plates are in place I'll add the arms. I want to give him a bulky feel overall. It's gettng there...

Doghouse Posted September 9, 2007 Author Share Posted September 9, 2007 Cheers for the tip mate, I'll have to check that out! :)  http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s196/Mutt2050/Picture015.jpg  http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s196/Mutt2050/Picture016.jpg  http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s196/Mutt2050/Picture017-1.jpg  I kind of got caught up in things and forgot the back of the left leg and groin plate. For some reason the camera seems to alter the angle of the model a bit which is annoying. I think the rear of the model represents the pose best as he's sort of hunkering down to recieve a charge. I think I may have to sink the head further into the shoulders, that could be what's making him look odd. Right hand will have a bolter in it and the left...welll...I'm not too sure. I tryed a sword but that obscured his face which is no good as it's going to be the focal point of the model. I tryed a knife which worked slightly better, maybe a knife crudely strapped to the back of his wrist?

Chyttering Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Maybe since he's supposed to be doing the assassiny work for your captain you could have him holding a dagger or something, pointing down to leave the face free of obstruction? Using a Dark Elf blade from fantasy would look like an appropriate Night Lords weapon.
