Nightlord Chaos Lord with Raptors

[JetfireUK]

Hi Folks,

 

I finally got these Nightlords done today. Overall I'm pretty pleased with them and the odd forks of lightning really add some interest on these dark looking miniatures. The flame-looking things on the base were annoying and a little miscast so I just added a little red and orange to give a kind of flame/smoke theme.

 

Having spent some time with these models I do like them but I found that there were parts of the miniatures which had lost some detail and areas where they were a little miscast - hopefully I did them proud.

 

What do you folk think?

Damn snazzy.

 

Even though you took your sweet time on the lightning bolts, it paid off. :)

Cheers!

 

I really wanted to leave the lightning bolts till I had all six figures painted. It's a tricky thing to pull off well but I'm happy enough with the results.

I love the way you've given the brass metal a verdigris patina to suggest age and weathering -- never seen anyone do that before. Perfect for veteran Traitor Marines. Good idea and good execution.

Thanks very much Wendigo. I hoped to pull off an ancient look to these miniatures - it's how I envision the Nightlords.
