Loken86 Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Brothers Firstly thanks to Dan the Daemon for inspiring me to crack on and get my NL's up together. its been awhile since ive posted any model so ive decided to put these up. This is Lt Lorek(Champion) of Shadow squad(fluff to follow shortly) he is very much a WIP but tell me what you all think sorry if pics are bad had to use my mobile to take'em http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo171/loken86_2008/Night%20Lords/WIPLtLorek-Bolterview.jpg http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo171/loken86_2008/Night%20Lords/WIPLtLorek-Frontview.jpg http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo171/loken86_2008/Night%20Lords/WIPLtLorek-Powerclawview.jpg http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo171/loken86_2008/Night%20Lords/WIPLtLorek-Rearview.jpg For the Haunter ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/189054-shadow-squad/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Brother Sargent Tiberius- Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Is that an ork powerfist? Nice! What head are you using? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/189054-shadow-squad/#findComment-2237360 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminatorinhell Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 try an IW head ( the one in my avatar) with the night lords wings on it I think it would look very menacing.

Loken86 Posted January 7, 2010 Author Share Posted January 7, 2010 @Brother Sargent Tiberius- yes thats an ork power fist im waiting for my NL conversion kit to arrive from gw so il either use a winged helmet or an un helmeted head Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/189054-shadow-squad/#findComment-2237372 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asrech Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Now this could turn out good! *couch*Die heretic scum*cough* I like that you went the extra mile to add the cables to the P-fist, same thing I did to my scout sergeant with fist, since the size of the fist is so muh bigger than standard it would look like it could go with some extre juice. My only two questions/points are regarding to NL fluff, correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't they a bit like ravenguard; infiltrate, sneaky, sabotage etc, but with more energy put on terror effect? Cause if so a bigger-than-your-mother power fist might be to a disadvantage. Then again the terror effect would compensate for that :D And secondly that it might look a tad better if you twist the claw a bit so the "tip" is pointing more forward or even upward, since right now his arm is a little too much of an downwards going arch ( might very wel l just be the pic though ). Any plans for the base? Not much space, but if you can put some extra lovin' into it that would really make the entire model have more Oomph! Keep 'em coming :( Cheers! *edit: I like the new avatar ;) Get into the mood, and go baby go!

Loken86 Posted January 7, 2010 Author Share Posted January 7, 2010 @Terminatorinhell i like the idea of the IW head but i dont have any :D might be worth getting some when the misses isint holding my wallet. @Alexander Fogh Pedersen thanks mate(love the work on the Ares by the way) i don't Know about the base yet i might do it as a city style what do you think. you are correct about the fluff but this guy lost his sword arm to the nob who owned the claw. il post the fluff once ive finished it lol Also il take a look at repositioning(sp) the arm so the claw is more square. Thanks all for looking Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/189054-shadow-squad/#findComment-2237394 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asrech Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 Well city style on the base could give you the chanse to do some sneaking through the alleys kinda style on some stuff, whereas grass/jungle/forests it's more camo etc.So I'd say it depends on your fluff and what theme you think would suit your building and painting style the best. But citý is a good solid option, looks good and you can do A LOT with it. You take my weapon? Fine *rip* then I take yours! *krunch*.... I like it! (Painting the second layer of highlights on the black right now.. it is hell.. too many angles ::P: ) Good, cause as it is he looks a little to heavy on one side and with the pose it looks a bit like he's trying not to fall over. With it more forward or up I think he'd go to "rah kill them all!" instead. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/189054-shadow-squad/#findComment-2237458 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drudge Dreadnought Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 The bolter arm swung so far back doesn't look right. It also makes the chain far too gravity defying. I'm not a fan of the ork powerclaw, but i think it could work if you built the connection to the arm up a bit more.

Loken86 Posted January 12, 2010 Author Share Posted January 12, 2010 Hmmm no feed back so far <_< Brothers Allow me to present Battle brother Quintis he is the second plasma gunner for the squad i have one problem with him as i would have loved to have him posed running towards his target but i was unable to find a tutorial to reposition the legs. But you tell me what you think of him http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo171/loken86_2008/Night%20Lords/WIPBrotherQuintinChainswordview.jpg http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo171/loken86_2008/Night%20Lords/WIPBrotherQuintinPlasmagunview.jpg http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo171/loken86_2008/Night%20Lords/WIPBrotherQuintinfrontrightview.jpg http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo171/loken86_2008/Night%20Lords/WIPBrotherQuintinfrontview.jpg For the Haunter :devil: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/189054-shadow-squad/#findComment-2243954 Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallvictory Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 I wasn't too sure about that claw when I first saw it, but I'm sold now, especially seeing him in that group shot. Battle Brother Quintis is my favorite, dig the strap idea, he looks all tooled up and ready to rock.

Capt. Lysander Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 You're working extremely quickly! Ultimately, I think the lieutenant and melta-gunner demonstrate the feel of the Night Lords the most. The claws look great as well.

Asrech Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Looking good broth.. I mean heretic scum! The conversions are solid and I like the overall kit-bashed look, infiltrators behind enemy lines are going to need some extra goodies for the trip :devil: The only thing I'm not sure about is the terminator base for the spec weapon... I think the large base works well for HQ units, and possibly pimped out sergeants, but just a spec weapon I think it will hamper your game too much, since it does make quite the difference gaming wise. Going between two pieces of terrain, into combat, disembarking a vehicle etc etc. The kneeling/crouching plasma gunner got a nice pose, hunched but still dynamic :P Keep 'em coming!
