Night Lords 18th Battle Company (Treadhead)

[Terminatorinhell]

sexiest chaos marines....EVER!!! i want a tutorial on that autocannon stat!

[Dan The Deamon]

Progress on the second squad of Night Lords is coming fast. I'm making them less scary and more tactical. I was inspired from the second Word Bearers novel where the squads differed greatly depending on their champion or sergant. My first squad uses fear as a weapon while taking great enjoyment in doing so. This squad has a more level head in a fight. They keep their wits and only use fear when it's appropriate. Often taking up over watch positions to safeguard their brothers while they enjoy the hunt.

On to the models!

Firestorm I've been reading your fluff on your blog and it's quite impressive. I love how your models and fluff come out simultaneously. I wish i could write that well and tie models into the story.

hope you enjoy!

Lovely work on that Night Lord. Only one little thing: the second NL's chainsword is a bit oddly held. But I suppose if he's trying to spook his target, it'd be much scarier if he can't see the chainblade whirring away.

 

On the first one, I love the skull idea on the bolter. Is that NL stock? If not, could you picture doing a Storm Bolter with the muzzles behind the eyes instead of the mouth?

[Chaos_Minds]

Amazing work! You have very cool (and very scary) Night Lords. And as an added bonus, you have given me huge inspiration and motivation.

 

Keep it up! I want to see a full army of these guys.

Best chaos marines ever!!!!! can i use the oblithirator idea???!!!!!!!! :o :D :D

[Dan The Deamon]

Solid Zaku :

The Marine is holding his chainsword in which way we hold combat knives in todays elite military. Often in the other hand you will hold one knife normally so that you can stab with left, and slash with right, never fully ceasing your relentless bladed attacks. In this case the brother can blaze away with his bolter keeping the blade somewhat in reserve, if the opportunity arrises he can stab with the very sharp pommel, or sweep a wider arc than normal with a backhanded swing. I believe the model conveys motion better this way and he obviously looks likes he's running towards someone shooting rather than just holding a sword up awkwardly into the air.

 

I do like the idea of a storm bolter with eyes as muzzles. I'll need to find a bigger skill but i just might have one lying around...

 

Thanks for the comments Chaos Minds I'm from Springfield VA and am very familiar with Charlottesville. Get some minis thrown up here!

 

Cheesychaoslod NO. NO YOU CANNOT! ;) :P B)

Wow, these guys have so much character to them it's unreal. I think my favorite is the Night Lord with the bolter with flash suppressor and extended stock. Very cool.

[cheeseychaoslord]

awwwww :D :rolleyes:

 

i'll paint them night lords?

 

 

P.S r u joking????

 

u and razakell have inspired me for a night lord and word bearer army

[Dan The Deamon]

Of course i'm joking. Check further back in the post when someone else asked me. :)

[cheeseychaoslord]

Yay!!!!! :) :)

 

i checked must have missed it

 

all i need now are some devastators

[Iron-Daemon Forge]

Really nice Night Lord/Alpha Legion army you have. It alway good to see a really nice converted chaos force, need to keep a eye on this for idea for future conversion.

 

Also get then painted :)

How did you make the metal head the lord originally had? Is it 2 helmets stuck together or just a filed-down faceplate?

[Dan The Deamon]

The original lord was a filed down night lord helmet. They look more like their older armor that way.

[xDOOMx]

^^where did you get the weapon on the right, the massive blade scythe thing?, this is amazing.

[Chaos_Minds]

I believe that it's the fantasy chaos knight lance.

[Dan The Deamon]

That is a mixture of 4 different weapons. From the bottom up

1: haft of chaos terminator lord force staff

2: Terminator/ terminator lord power axe

3: Warhammer FB Zombie scythe

4: Warhammer FB Chaos Knights Lance

 

Regretfully it broke off today in such a way that i may have to re-make it. :P

[Bigger-than-Jesus]

The original lord was a filed down night lord helmet. They look more like their older armor that way.

Cheers!

[Captain Mike]

Excellent work. I especially like the counts as obliterators, and the perversion of the WYSIWYG idea relating to the combi meltas.

 

Bravo, now prepare to be gunned down by us Loyalists, and the might of the Imperial Guard!

[RazakelXIII]

Absolutely fantastic conversions. Some of the scariest darn Chaos marines I've ever seen and they're not even painted yet. :devil: I really love your Autocannon conversion, especially - I may just have to steal that idea. Can't wait to see more.

[Dan The Deamon]

Once again thanks for all the great replies and inspiration. It truly motivates and keeps me going. ;)

Not one to disappoint i felt i had to up the ante with this guy. Not a whole lot, just enough to get back to the quality control that used to make me so proud of them.

Took me about 6 hours to make this guy look average. :)

As for painting, i'm terrified to start these guys. I know what i want them to look like however i'm waiting until both squads are done so that i may do them all at once. Consistency is a word i live by.

As for all the Autocannon requests i'm sad to say all my unopened termi boxes have been packed up and made ready to move. i won't be able to make it for at least another week or two. Hope you can hang on!

Enjoy!

[Dan The Deamon]

Only a couple more to make and i can start the paint.

ugh

[the_unforgiven]

Bravo amazing work as always. I envy how much detail you can put into each and every marine you are also one of the few that models the grenades onto each marine.

[Sons of Horus]

these are all amazing ;) :P they have very dynamic poses giving them more character.

[Dan The Deamon]

Regretfully i'm running out of poses and ideas before i have to start repeating some of the same things. :P

 

I have 5 marines to go before this second squad is finished

 

1 melta gun

1 icon

3 marines with bolter, ccw, bolt pistol.

 

I don't want them to start looking generic. Here's your chance to have some say on a finished product! Let me bring some of your ideas to life! :D
