Tutteman Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Has anyone tried actually modelling the lightning? As in 3D across the model. I ask as I may give this a try on a model for a conversion tournament (on here actually ;) ) and I was wondering if anyone had tried this/has photos of it being attempted? It's something I've always wanted to try and now i have the chance I thought I'd do some research :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/202000-a-question-for-all-you-night-lords/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durus Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 I can't remember Night Lords specifically, but I have seen some SM power weapons and big meks with kustom force fields surrounded by lightning. Most people just use thin wire, paint it white/blue and blend it onto the miniature with some OSL effects. I've seen some librarians and fantasy wizards with similar effects, too. While I don't have a link to any of these right now, you should be able to find some inspiration over on CMON, if you search for one of the things I mentioned.

Tutteman Posted May 20, 2010 Author Share Posted May 20, 2010 Thank you very much Durus, I hadn't thought of checking CMON. Found two good examples or lightning. And yeah my plan was to use wire like you've suggested and I shall see how it goes :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/202000-a-question-for-all-you-night-lords/#findComment-2406612 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Nihm Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Apart from the cool-factor, why would you make 3d lightning though? Fluffwise it's a mistake introduced in the latest codex, up till then it has always been painted on. :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/202000-a-question-for-all-you-night-lords/#findComment-2406614 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tutteman Posted May 20, 2010 Author Share Posted May 20, 2010 Well mostly it's the cool factor. Just the idea of Night Lords fighting while lightning plays up and down their armour :lol: But also it's a conversion contest I'm entering and I thought would add a little extra to my entry. I'm not sure but depending on how easy this turns out I may start a small army of these guys. Maybe :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/202000-a-question-for-all-you-night-lords/#findComment-2406632 Share on other sites More sharing options...
