Night Lords 18th Battle Company (Treadhead)

[gaurdian31]

Love these new guys! Glad to see you're back. I remember your berzerkers and obliterators being some of my favorite conversions ever. Same with that lovely Night Lords dreadnaught.

[Brother Turok]

Holy crap!  He's back!!! 

 

What a great year, I am finally excited to play Dark Angels after many years with our new codex and Dan the Man in back!  I followed your thread religiously back in my college days.  Now I am old with a career, family, etc.  I feel young again!

 

Oh, and the minis are looking great as always!

Fantastic start as well. Excited to see the paint, your conversion skill hasn't been dulled by your years in the Eye either ;)

[Dan The Deamon]

Thanks you two!

Fighting with a heavily used camera and cheap lighting equipment.

Oh my word you're talented. Really inspiring stuff pal. Thank you.

[codyrstuart]

I had to pick my jaw up off the floor when I saw the twin lightning claws. That is what a night lord should look like. Bravo!

[Nomus Sardauk]

The true Lord of the Night returns in accordance with the prophecy, and he comes bearing gifts no less! Splendid, I shall flay a hobo in your name to celebrate.

Is this real life? Has Dan finally returned to us?

 

Are these Chaos or have you finally embraced the sweet, sweet 30K.

Are these Chaos or have you finally embraced the sweet, sweet 30K.

 

I'm close to 30k. I'm sick and tired of the 40k carnival. the HH is very much apealing to me lately as it's all mostly meq. That and all the heroic reasons. I am waiting a bit on some legions that haven't been released yet. I'm drawn to a few that aren't out yet and i'm waiting to see how they look.

[KaosRaptor]

He's back! Awesome work as always Dan!

 

Bookmarked this thread ages ago and keep coming back to it for inspiration - can't wait to see more.

[sheep]

I was so ready to be disappointed thinking someone had threadromanced the topic, I was completely unprepared for the awesomeness!

[BrotherJim]

Back and better than ever, this just made my day.

Loving the new additions, quite relieved to see your blade has not been dulled.

 

Horus heresy huh? Is it Blood Angels or Space Wolves? Someone else?

 

Anyway great to see you back, and with more night lords, this has made my week.

[Brother Turok]

Heroics in HH?  I thought 30k was very similar to 40k?  Are the characters buffed? (I guess I never read into it much, all my heresy stuff became carcharodons after inspiration from machinepriest here on the forums).

[BrotherJim]

Yeah I'm loving these new guys.

Great to see your style evolve but still remain true to your techniques, The raptors are my favourites.

Any plans for the future expansion, are you working towards a list, or just going with the flow?

 

Anyway great to see new work from you, I'm pumped!

Those 'noise marines' are damn sexy. And they're not even Slaaneshi! Edited July 10, 2015 by SalvationOfReason

I'm in the same boat as sheep up there, I was all ready for necromancy-induced disappointment again and instead I got a blast full of awesome right to the face. Great to have you back, Dan, we missed you. Awesome stuff as usual. If I had to play favorites (which I don't, but I'm going to), that first blastmaster dude is perfect. Keep 'em coming.

[Kizzdougs]

Amazing work, and welcome back, dude!! The level of detail on each mini is just awesome :tu:

[Hyaenidae]

Fething hell, he's back....

 

It's a pleasure to see you again, brother. The new work is stunning, especially those heavy support cannons. Definitely looking forward to some paint.

 

And....um.... never leave us again. Ever. :P

[MagicMan]

Beautiful conversions. Noone does Night Lords quite like you. :)

[Flint13]

Omigosh omigosh!

 

Those heavy weapon bros! Those raptors! ... but dat obliterator doe...

(But seriously, glad you're back with a vengeance. Come say hi down in the AoD when you get the chance. We'll keep a seat open for you )

[Vel'Cona]

Glad to see a vile heretic return to the fold!    Love the conversions and subtle "truescaling" on all your models.  Welcome back!

[One-eye]

What a comeback ! I also feared threadomancy, until the punch in my face. Awesoooome !!

Not so much buffed characters, but astartes vs astartes. Face smashing, dirty, mud filled grappling over the future of mankind. Everyone has their own agenda and motivations in the heresy and the diversity is more evident there than 40k. Plus it's easier to love the common warrior/soldier and identify with the game and the hobby for me. I love putting my dudes on the table but when fighting some non astartes enemies the average CSM squad acts like a bucket of chum. IN the HH i get to keep my modeling love for power armor and  they're meaningful on the table.

I'm looking at some quiet, aloof, distant legions. One dark, one white. Two possible sides of a coin. This could always be misdirection brought to you by an old favorite of secrets and lies...

 

Those 'noise marines' are damn sexy. And they're not even Slaaneshi!

many thanks!

They're in some cases a little plainer than i'd like, but i'm committing to some ambitious painting that will make up for that.

It had been too long. Even with the light comminication a few of us had on some other projects I kept carving away on little projects and daydreaming bigger ones. I'm happy to say the time has come where i'm set up to work again.

 

Beautiful conversions. Noone does Night Lords quite like you.

The mantle was pulled from me ages ago. Some other notable companies have taken up the fight in beautiful ways. Heinrich and Darkven to just skim the surface.

 

Omigosh omigosh!

Be there soon. The degenerates you have all become lately is sickening in the Haunters absense.

I would like to take this time to publicly thank the Mod team for allowing me to pull this thing back from the dead. It was archived and closed down with the last activity around 4 years ago. Thanks all of you who welcomed me back!

Jim, the army initially started off as a way to keep all of the competetive chaos choices in the 5th edition dex flavorful and fluffy with counts as. after spending a ton of time creating a list i really liked with a ton of models i worked on forever it turned into stubbornly trying to make that old 5th marine heavy list work in 6th, and 7th. I was getting crushed in most of my games and it was disheartening to see all of the hard hobby work, as well as all of the fluff and love I worked into my guys lose their edge. Lately I'm breaking the mold in order to have a little more fun in games. There's always those models i will try and make work though. Like my dreadnought. As well as models that may never have a chance to play, like most of my raptors, cypher, terminators, etc.

 

keep your eyes peeled. There's more in the pipeline.

[Lexington]

Across ninety-nine worlds I fought,

And with every foe slain,

I would breathe a Black Prayer:

"May He Return."

 

And on the hundredth victory,

My prayer was granted.

 

Good to have you back, Dan. Can't wait to see what else you've come up with. :D

[Midnightmare]

Nice to see you back posting, fantastic skills!
