Dark Bjoern Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Surprise is an insubstantial blade, a sword worthless in war. It breakes when troops rally. It snaps when commanders holt the line. But fear never fades. Fear is a blade that sharpens with use. So let the enemy know we come. Let their fears defeat them as everything falls dark. At the world´s sun set..... As the city is wreathed in its final night..... Let ten thousand howls promise ten thousand claws. The Night Lords are coming. And no soul that stands against us shall see another dawn! I started a new army, but this time it will be not larger then 2500 puints and i´ll try to improve my painting skills. I always liked the NL and with the release of the new DP and the novel Soul Hunter, i decided that the time is right to start with NL. But befor painting comes my most favorite part: CONVERSIONS. So here´re the first "few" pics. The Shadow Master: http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x120/DarkBjoern/DarkBjoerns%20Chaos/Night%20Lords/NightLordsDaemonPrinceWIP1.jpg http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x120/DarkBjoern/DarkBjoerns%20Chaos/Night%20Lords/NightLordsDaemonPrinceWIP2.jpg http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x120/DarkBjoern/DarkBjoerns%20Chaos/Night%20Lords/NightLordsDaemonPrinceWIP3.jpg http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x120/DarkBjoern/DarkBjoerns%20Chaos/Night%20Lords/NightLordsDaemonPrinceWIP4.jpg http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x120/DarkBjoern/DarkBjoerns%20Chaos/Night%20Lords/NightLordsDaemonPrinceWIP5.jpg http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x120/DarkBjoern/DarkBjoerns%20Chaos/Night%20Lords/NightLordsDaemonPrinceWIP6.jpg http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x120/DarkBjoern/DarkBjoerns%20Chaos/Night%20Lords/NightLordsDaemonPrinceWIP7.jpg http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x120/DarkBjoern/DarkBjoerns%20Chaos/Night%20Lords/NightLordsDaemonPrinceWIP8.jpg Still a lot to do. actual i´m painting the skin. I´ll use the painting instruction from the August WD. The dead body of the Cadian Officer will be added after the DP and the soldier are apinted. The Terminators: http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x120/DarkBjoern/DarkBjoerns%20Chaos/Night%20Lords/NightLordsTerminatorsWIP1.jpg http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x120/DarkBjoern/DarkBjoerns%20Chaos/Night%20Lords/NightLordsTerminatorsWIP2.jpg Nothing spectacular a fifth terminator is not shown on the pics cause he was missing both arms. Meanwhile he got them. Land Raider Venator Concubius: http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x120/DarkBjoern/DarkBjoerns%20Chaos/Night%20Lords/NightLordsLandRaiderWIP1.jpg http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x120/DarkBjoern/DarkBjoerns%20Chaos/Night%20Lords/NightLordsLandRaiderWIP2.jpg http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x120/DarkBjoern/DarkBjoerns%20Chaos/Night%20Lords/NightLordsLandRaiderWIP4.jpg http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x120/DarkBjoern/DarkBjoerns%20Chaos/Night%20Lords/NightLordsLandRaiderWIP3.jpg http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x120/DarkBjoern/DarkBjoerns%20Chaos/Night%20Lords/NightLordsLandRaiderWIP5.jpg Very WIP, i know but i think you can imagine how it will look like when the whole tank is clad in midnight and the twistes faces are painted in shades of blue and grey Dreadnought Glaukos: http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x120/DarkBjoern/DarkBjoerns%20Chaos/Night%20Lords/NightLordsDreadnoughtWIP6.jpg http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x120/DarkBjoern/DarkBjoerns%20Chaos/Night%20Lords/NightLordsDreadnoughtWIP7.jpg http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x120/DarkBjoern/DarkBjoerns%20Chaos/Night%20Lords/NightLordsDreadnoughtWIP8.jpg My favorite project so far. The fist itself need still a lot attention. It´doesn´t looks Night Lordish enought. 1st Claw Cirdan: http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x120/DarkBjoern/DarkBjoerns%20Chaos/Night%20Lords/NightLordsFirstClawWIP1.jpg http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x120/DarkBjoern/DarkBjoerns%20Chaos/Night%20Lords/NightLordsFirstClawBrotherSergeantWIP1.jpg I love the NL conversion kits. That´s it so far. I hope you like what you see. C&C welcome. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/209519-we-have-come-for-you/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
S. Bloodhowl Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 This is looking great man! I know it's you army and that you can do whatever you want from it, but I'm not too sure about the Daemon Prince or the tormented faces on the Land Raider. Though they both look brilliant I kind of got the impression from 'Soul Hunter' that alot of the Night Hunter legion tried to resist the mutations of chaos. But that's just my small opinion, do what you want my friend, I'm sure it will look kick-ass at the end!

Dark Bjoern Posted August 29, 2010 Author Share Posted August 29, 2010 The faces should not be of any daemonic nature. Only icons added by the NL to increase the terror factor. I´m not using any daemons (with the exception of the DP), daemon engine upgrades, Defilers, Oblits, Possessed or something like that in my army. And from the novels it seems that the commanders of the different warhosts have a weak spot for daemonhood. So i think, fluffwise i´m fine with my army.

Dark Bjoern Posted August 29, 2010 Author Share Posted August 29, 2010 Yes, from the informations from the novel i would say, the Exalted is in the same situation as Fulgrim.

Pirate Metal Troy Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 I freakin' LOVE batheads! So cool! If I had to, I'd sell all my crap and restart with batheads. I should add, the only things I don't like are the dead imp (I hate adding dead bodies in any form. ESPECIALLY being held in the hand of a daemon prince) and the studded shoulder on the dreadnought. I think a partial plasticard chaos star in some form would have been much better for that, but it's your model, and these are just my opinions. Looking good so far though.

Dan The Deamon Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Everything is looking great. I think the D naught fist is plenty Night Lordish, the chest and head are however very reminiscent of sorcory and the 1ksons. i think if you switched the head up to something else or maybe made a high plasticard gorget in front of it you will have an awesome dread on your hands.

Dark Bjoern Posted September 4, 2010 Author Share Posted September 4, 2010 O, just a small update. I started painting my DP. Here are some PIP pics: http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x120/DarkBjoern/DarkBjoerns%20Chaos/Night%20Lords/NightLordsDaemonPrinceWIP10.jpg http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x120/DarkBjoern/DarkBjoerns%20Chaos/Night%20Lords/NightLordsDaemonPrinceWIP09.jpg Actual i have finished the skin and the feets. And i started with the armour. My dread got another head, the heavy flamer a new nozzle and i started with the fingers of the fist. http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x120/DarkBjoern/DarkBjoerns%20Chaos/Night%20Lords/NightLordsDreadnoughtWIP10.jpg http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x120/DarkBjoern/DarkBjoerns%20Chaos/Night%20Lords/NightLordsDreadnoughtWIP09.jpg The other head was nice but it had looked too Tzeentch like. And here are the first pics of my Hunter´s Wings. Inspired by the small feud with the BA in Soul Hunter i made this nice jumppacks for my Raptors. They are my counterpart to the Sanguinary Guard, they are the Hunter´s Wings. http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x120/DarkBjoern/DarkBjoerns%20Chaos/Night%20Lords/NightLordsHuntersWingsWIP01.jpg http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x120/DarkBjoern/DarkBjoerns%20Chaos/Night%20Lords/NightLordsHuntersWingsWIP02.jpg http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x120/DarkBjoern/DarkBjoerns%20Chaos/Night%20Lords/NightLordsHuntersWingsWIP03.jpg http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x120/DarkBjoern/DarkBjoerns%20Chaos/Night%20Lords/NightLordsHuntersWingsWIP04.jpg I wanted a similar lookalike but more archaic.

Scriptor Tharxes Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 All Miniatures are nice Conversions. Personally, I got tazed and stunned by the Dreadnough. Amazing Piece of Art.

lord gunthar Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 The dread is awesome, as are the rest. I have always liked night lords and the BnC is full to the brim with awsome night lord armys. How can you stand having such a cool dread unpainted ?

Dark Bjoern Posted September 5, 2010 Author Share Posted September 5, 2010 The dread is still unpainted cause he´s still not done completly. The finger of the fist still need some attention.

Dark Bjoern Posted September 8, 2010 Author Share Posted September 8, 2010 The main reason for the NL-project is to improve my painting skills. Because of this it will take some time to finish it. I make only small progresses but i did. Here´re some new pics. The skin is done and i now go ahead with the armour. What do you think? http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x120/DarkBjoern/DarkBjoerns%20Chaos/Night%20Lords/NightLordsDaemonPrinceWIP11.jpg http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x120/DarkBjoern/DarkBjoerns%20Chaos/Night%20Lords/NightLordsDaemonPrinceWIP12.jpg http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x120/DarkBjoern/DarkBjoerns%20Chaos/Night%20Lords/NightLordsDaemonPrinceWIP13.jpg http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x120/DarkBjoern/DarkBjoerns%20Chaos/Night%20Lords/NightLordsDaemonPrinceWIP14.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/209519-we-have-come-for-you/#findComment-2507157 Share on other sites More sharing options...
