Night Lords 18th Battle Company (Treadhead)

[Dan The Deamon]

New wraith. #4

I was pretty happy with this model until i put the helmet and topknot on. Still not too sold on them.

The severed testicles of the last guy who called brother champion Ak-rias a plague marine.

BOO!

:)

[AdeptusDavidus]

GO MAN GO! :lol:

 

Numbah 4 looks pretty excellent. Is that a beaky head that you chopped to be all flat-faced? If so, it looks great, and gives me something to do with all of those damn beaky heads that keep coming with all the Space Marines I've been buying (I hate beakies).

 

The best bit, though, has to be that sword. Nicked, gouged, it looks perfect for a ghostly marine.

[Dan The Deamon]

hahaha :lol:

 

Yeah that's a beaky, i love them because it's so easy to carve them into something worth looking at. I HATE the standard marine frown/grill. It looks dumb to me. You'll probably notice there's about ZERO in my army.

 

Yeah the sword is a theme that will be carried over. I've been waiting to execute it and rushed this guy to completion for it.

By far the most impressive thing about this log is how you're able to steadily make progress. I've been pecking at an up-sized army, as I mentioned before, but I've been going for months and have almost two guys ready for paint.

 

Maybe I'm being too fussy, or maybe I'm too reliant on trial-and-error. Either way, I'm pretty impressed. :lol:

 

I'd love to square off with you across the table sometime, if only so I could drool over your minis, haha.

[Kushan Blackrazor]

I love this army! Its making me want Night Lords now...

 

Wraith Number 4 looks amazing, I actually really like the topknot on that helmet! ;)

[Lord_Caldera]

First I want to say that this army is just fantastic, absolutely the scariest marines I have ever seen! But onto Wraith #4, I think you're right about the topknot. With the spike behind it the top of the model looks pretty vertically busy. I think another dryad face would add some horizontal with the horns and tie the model into the unit better.

[Sons of Horus]

haven't been following you in a while but the quality of your minis is as good or maybe even better than before :rolleyes: :P

[Yogi]

loving number 4.. The shin bones or whatever they are are cool. EDIT just noticed the sword.. very nice.

 

Also mr 3 skull on his chest, ah aren't you a marine with some sort of plague?

Well back to the boards with my latest WIP.

I lost a lot of motivation after receiving the new Space Wolves Dex in the mail. That is probably the best book in every way, shape, and form. Let's not get into a big debate about how much the chaos dex sucks. There's a few threads for that already ^_^

My latest Wraith

Next is the apothecary for my wraith squad. he'll be used as my personal icon bearer, and should 'confer' feel no pain in a wargear sense. (i'm going pretty far trying to fit wysiwyg)

He's not near being finished but i figure if i put up pics of half finished minis I'll be shamed into finishing them.

Here's his WIP head. I hope is solves all the problems the last mask/head had.

It kind of creeps me out... :lol:

Finally the progress on my deamon prince. By the way I love Milliput.

[Dan The Deamon]

After giving the WIP apothecary his sandtimer all i could do was think about cheesy one liners.

 

"Your time is up"

or

"I'm going to smash your face when this top thing runs out of sand"

 

I like the second one ^_^

Yes, it certainly is creepy! B) Where is the face from? A WFB Skeleton, or from one of the newer Corpse Cart Zombies?

Great work as usual! :P

[Dan The Deamon]

corpse cart necromancer.

Have to wait for a narthecium in the mail before i can finish him.

[A17roolz]

Loving the miniatures mate, especially the Daemon Prince. Can't wait to see him and the Apothecary finished :)

[AdeptusDavidus]

You know, I had been planning to do "sub-boltguns" on a tactical squad with more dynamic poses, but I see you've beaten me to yet another idea. :P

 

The shortened bolter on Wraith 5 looks awesome, and I like how your apothecary (Witch Doctor!) is shaping up. :P

[Dan The Deamon]

Witch Doctor it is!

 

I'm not waiting for the mail. Time to drive to Dallas to raid a GW.

 

Anyone know the definition for addiction?

[Castlerook]

Anyone know the definition for addiction?

 

Warhammer 40000..........

 

Pretty much the perfect definition I think.

 

:P

Dude, I'm not using the Narth from my Command Squad. Why drive to Dallas when you could drive to Hooks and play Space Hulk with me and Nephran-Ka? :P

[Dravenguild]

How exactly did you cut down that beak helm? with a blade/dremel or saw?

[Dan The Deamon]

DAMN If only i knew!

 

Yeah just clip the beak off right before the eyes. Cut angles into it and slowly smooth/round it out.

 

three and a half hours later i have my bits...

[Kaldoth]

I proclaim this thread the most win-filled thread in the history of win.

 

I also demand a parts list on all the bits you've used :D (Skulls, bones, spikes, and all the extra grenades mostly)

 

Cheers,

-Kal

[FerrumIgnatus]

By the Gods of Chaos! Most impressive Chaos force you're building there, Dan. I really like your "count as" obliterator heavy weapon teams. Not to mention all those juicy Chaos marines that are converted with so much love and care I almost get misty-eyed from where I sit. I salute you, good sir, for converting Chaos Marines in such a fantastic manner. Perhaps the modeller lads over at Games Workshop should take your marines as a standard design for future Chaos Marine designs..

 

Keep up the good work, you daemonic converter!

[Dan The Deamon]

Hey guys,

Thanks for all the kind words and encouragement!

I finished the last three models in my Wraith squad. It took me a some time to get the theme nailed down. Being as this is a squad of power armor models, who are night lords, and want to look like ghosts, i had a difficult time appeasing all themes. Overall i think the paint scheme is really what will make or break their success.

I still have 'fluttery scraps' to add to their armor. Still not 100% C+C Welcome

Here's the two flamers

the personal icon bearer (witch doctor/apothecary)

Disregard the slaanesh symbol on his backpack, i normally do green stuff/brown stuff once a week and during that time i go back and fix or add to marines.

His older counterpart. ( I used this guy as my last night lord apothecary, plague marine with PW)

I never finished working on him. I liked the chaos narth and his backpack. Two themes i tried carrying over to the new model.

Lastly my champ from 1st squad. He lost his power weapon due to a bad pinning accident. I decided not to confuse my opponents anymore than i needed to and just gave him the actual fist it represented.

Plus I'm saving the huge scythe blade idea for someone special :blink:

Next up i'll be working on re-doing my Bezerker squads and adding another weapon team to make it 2x2 instead of 1x3

Enjoy!

[Dan The Deamon]

Kaldoth,

 

I use more bits than i can keep track of. If you have any specifics in mind let me know and i'll call them out. Otherwise it'd be a never ending list.

:blink:

[commander alexander]

Where are you gettint the skeletons youre putting on their weapons? :rolleyes:

[Dan The Deamon]

WHFB skeletons with some corpse cart skulls thrown in. Very similar to skeleton skulls, just a couple crack/dent variations. Edited October 10, 2009 by Dan The Deamon
