Wicced Posted March 13, 2011 Author Share Posted March 13, 2011 first of all, thanks for the comments :o This has got me curious: is there some bit of fluff or novel somewhere that talks about how the Night Lords had lots of those jetbikes sitting around? Or is it just that it seems so fitting to their style (which it does, I believe)? i don't know of any fluff mentioning increased jetbike capacities of the night lords. i just saw insaniak's fantastic jetbike tutorial and figured it would fit nicely with the scare tactics and shock troop theme of the legion. i'm definitely planning on adding a "main armament" i just need to figure out, which weapon to choose and where to put it :D i was thinking about a missile laucher, or maybe one of the leftover plasma guns from the storm raven sprue...

Wicced Posted March 15, 2011 Author Share Posted March 15, 2011 i tinkered with the jetbike a little more, but i realized an underslung weapon doesn't work with the lines of the bike very good. so i guess i'm keeping it the way it is, because the rider himself should be enough to scare prey out of cover :ermm: i'm currently trying to decide what to do with the jets of the jetbike, and i'm still working on some raptors. i'll try to get some pictures up in the next few days...

Wicced Posted March 17, 2011 Author Share Posted March 17, 2011 as promised, here are some pictures of my raptors and another chosen and my counts as Khârn. they all need some more clean up work before painting (e.g. the armpit of the raptor with the dual claw) and are just fixed with double sided adhesive tape for the pictures, so poses may and will most certainly change a little in the final assembly, but i'm quite satisfied with them. special thanks to Dan the Demon for tons of inspiration (most recently Khârn's skincape) and Konskrypt for the idea with the claw with two blades :lol: chosen: counts as Khârn: raptor 1: raptor 2: i hope you enjoy them and comments and criticism are always welcome!

Seregon Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Those are some really nice conversions. I bet they'll look stunning once they get some make up on. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/207298-screams-of-despair-night-lords-wip-midnight-clad-we-pg-8/page/2/#findComment-2694768 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wicced Posted March 22, 2011 Author Share Posted March 22, 2011 finished converting 3 more raptors tonight... they're assembled with double sided adhesive tape for the pictures and the polearm is not glued to the hand yet, the blade tip will point a little more to his right foot. c&c appreciated as usually :D raptor: champion of second raptor claw: raptor: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/207298-screams-of-despair-night-lords-wip-midnight-clad-we-pg-8/page/2/#findComment-2697111 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natanael Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Ah, I'll comment the awesomeness. First of all - the new champ is COOL! Love his dual p-fists, and the pose is all about badassery :) The spear guy however seems a little... I dont know, wrong? I get that the spear is not yet glued, but it seems a bit to big to be carried just like that. Having it two-handed might help, since it is a nice spear, but the pose just doesnt cut it with the rest of the guys, I think. - Natanael Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/207298-screams-of-despair-night-lords-wip-midnight-clad-we-pg-8/page/2/#findComment-2702031 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicced Posted March 26, 2011 Author Share Posted March 26, 2011 thanks for the comment brother Natanael. i was planning to give him a kind of "en garde" pose, with the spear pointing downwards, while he's taking aim to throw the grenade he's holding in his right hand.

Chaos Lord Shamrockius Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 I like them, even though I look at thei raptors poses and think that if the jetpacks were not there, they could be from the disco era. The guy with the twin LC looks right out of Saturday Night Fever! :lol: That said, the poses are great. I'm a fan of kitbashing, something that looking at these forum's have encouraged me to do and this too is great encouragement.

The guy with the twin LC looks right out of Saturday Night Fever! :lol: thank you for your comment, i know what you mean, i think it's due to the pointed finger on both fists, but imagine him with both his arms raised. i tried that pose, but had to cancel it, because i couldn't sculpt a decent disco ball :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/207298-screams-of-despair-night-lords-wip-midnight-clad-we-pg-8/page/2/#findComment-2702043 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natanael Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 thanks for the comment brother Natanael.i was planning to give him a kind of "en garde" pose, with the spear pointing downwards, while he's taking aim to throw the grenade he's holding in his right hand. I didnt see he had a grenade in his other hand. Then I guess the pose might work tough I still think the spear is in a funny angle. Maybe skip the grenade and make it a "stabby" pose instead, with a two-handed spear or give him something that is easier to handle while throwing a nade, sword or axe. - Natanael Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/207298-screams-of-despair-night-lords-wip-midnight-clad-we-pg-8/page/2/#findComment-2702049 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GooseDaMoose Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 They look cool, though I agree the twin powerfist guy (as much as I love twin powerfists) looks a little bit silly. Have you tried cutting and reposing the pointing finger so it's more of a fist? and the metal one you can just bend. Anyway, keep them coming! :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/207298-screams-of-despair-night-lords-wip-midnight-clad-we-pg-8/page/2/#findComment-2702059 Share on other sites More sharing options...
