Bewlay Posted February 28, 2011 Author Share Posted February 28, 2011 Cheers for the comments :( Garrod: The effect I was going for was a sort of twisted, flailing wrist. Like a Flayed one or Arco flagellant. Styphus: It's funny some people think my painting is good, while the other half think it's ok. You think both :o However nobody really gives me advice to greater my painting, so I further myself with trial and error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bewlay Posted March 6, 2011 Author Share Posted March 6, 2011 And we're back I've made another Afflicted and I'm quite proud of him: http://img683.imageshack.us/img683/5962/nightlords095.jpg Although you can't see it (better pics soon, camera ran out of battery) this is the first time I've sucessfully made a crouching marine :P. But by lord it was hard, it seems brass paper clips don't like bending much, so my fingers are raw. Anyway I don't know if you can see but I've tried to create some battle damage, this model is supposed to represent the 'feel no pain' aspect of the Afflicted. I'm still choosing an appropriate head. So you likey? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bewlay Posted April 24, 2011 Author Share Posted April 24, 2011 @Wicced: cheers, the reason I haven't used the gallery is because I want to use my Photobucket account for other things, so I thought 'may as well try and get it back up' and it worked. :D I'm about a third of the way through my Terrorists and I'd thought I'd show you the progress, using the technique I found here http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...howtopic=226280 http://i944.photobucket.com/albums/ad286/maximum_wonderous/NightLords144.jpg and heres the effect http://i944.photobucket.com/albums/ad286/maximum_wonderous/NightLords145.jpg Anyway without further ado here's the fluff about the horrific masters of the sky 'I have been gifted, gifted from Him, with the most fear inducing warriors that I have ever come across. Their wings beat with the sound of their enemies hearts, fast. And as they fall, with their glistening blades, no Astarte of any Legion can argue, I lead the angels of death.' Raxhen, Master Terrorist The Terrorists of the Bloodtears mighty Company are at the epicentre of most battles, their knowledge, their daring skill often creates the backbone for a usual raid. The Terrorists are simply an elite unit within the 14th company, like many Legions, the Terrorists are the veterans of 14th company while the Talons and Raptors fulfill a more speciallist role the Terrorists are what those two units look up to. As far as rank is concerned a Terrorist is below a Master, therefor their opinion and ideas are respected fully. Each Terrorist is a competent strategist, and knowledgeable fear-monger, therefore any Terroists opinion is upheld and taken into perspective. The full unit of Terrorist is usually taken up by 30 marines, and commanded by the elusive and clandestine Raxhen, on missions the Terrorist will spread themselves into groups of 5, with no clear leader within the group. It's is not unheard of for the entire Terrorist unit to be deployed together as one, leader into to battle by the Master Terrorist himself. Due to the freedom of being in such a high rank the Terrorist's often request for their armour to be modified by the Artificers, leading to the abundance of 'Bat winged' helmets. Each Terrorist is given a Terror Shard, a black and blue blade mounted on top a heavy pole. It is said that if you survive a blow from a Terror Shard, you are eternally huanted by memories of the Night Lords. Depending on how much time I have today, I will show you the Nostramo Spectres painted (it's not much TBH) in the mean time....... 'Sir, they were there relentlessly marching towards us, our bullets faded within the black void that surrounded them. But they were not alone, strange figure of pure darkness accompanied them, I was alone, I still am, but I will not faulter in the name of the Emperor, I wil.......' Last vox-cast trasmission from Jybre IV Each Night Lords is gifted with some small pychic abillity, for it is inherited from the Night Huanter himself, however they may not use these gifts as dangerous powers, instead unconsciously they give birth to creature of twilight. In Nostramo folklore, once the Night Huanter proclaimed himself ruler of the dark planet, all was normal, crime was low and Nostramo boomed, however there began to be strange occurrences, dark figure stalking and killing people with midnight flames. Whatever these beings were it is unknown, however often within the mid-point of a conflict, the 14th company will be joined by the ethereal beings. These Spectres (as they are called) literally cover the area in total darkness, the surrounding Night Lords are not effected, due to their traits, but bullets and weapons of all kind get lost within the thick blackness. The Spectres also defend them selves, firing dark flames from their hands, which sear the foes flesh. What ever these creature are is unknown, whether the Bloodtear knows is also a mystery, but these Spectres help and aid the Bloodtears, and that is nothing to argue about. Note: You may of notice that I'm saying '14th company' that is because I've seen quite a few 12th companies plus I belive one is metioned in the actual fluff, so to stop complications they are now former 14th company. :P ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bewlay Posted April 25, 2011 Author Share Posted April 25, 2011 Well things didn't go to plan and instead of painting, I built instead (mainly down to GW have extremely expensive black spray :whistling: ) Now I've always been a fan of Dan the Deamon and his warband, and although he's been more of a motivation then an influence (I've never wanted a 'every guy should be individual' approach) I found this in his thread.... It's a testament to your outrageous skill that you've garnered replies in the thousands - and that not a single bloody one of us had anything negative to say. About anything you did. Not once. You are madness, your house is Sparta, you are not lost and if anyone else dares to post a Night Lords army in this forum for the next 23498546 years someone will inevitably say "they're nice, but they aren't as nice as *insert link to your thread*. If I had a tenth of your talent I would be charging people new to the hobby $45 to stroke my cheek and perhaps glean a smidgeon of power from physical contact. :geek: well technically no ones said "they're nice, but they aren't as nice as *insert link to your thread*.'' so does that mean I'm better?? .... no surly not :P Anyway on to more important matters it's not that exciting but I've found my old DA so they're thrown into the mad house http://i944.photobucket.com/albums/ad286/maximum_wonderous/NightLords146.jpg Chainfist? http://i944.photobucket.com/albums/ad286/maximum_wonderous/NightLords147.jpg And my Assault squad sargent http://i944.photobucket.com/albums/ad286/maximum_wonderous/NightLords148.jpg Yeah quite underwhelming, I admit but I've ordered two Rhino's off of Ebay, so tortured bodies and grissly trophies coming up :huh: If you want to C&C go ahead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bewlay Posted May 27, 2011 Author Share Posted May 27, 2011 Hey guys long time, no speak ;) The reason is, a night out is not cheap these days and between 'studying' there have been alot of nights out, so as expected I've been poor for a couple of weeks however I did manage to pick up a lovely deal on Ebay and as a result have made a Rhino (and 'missle man') http://i944.photobucket.com/albums/ad286/maximum_wonderous/NightLords001.jpg What was different for this rhino was the battle damage on it, you can't see it in the picture because I did it afterwards. http://i944.photobucket.com/albums/ad286/maximum_wonderous/NightLords004.jpg And then with some extra bits and oddly a missle luancher i found in the Rhino's sprues I made this bloke http://i944.photobucket.com/albums/ad286/maximum_wonderous/NightLords006.jpg Thats all for now, I would post the extra Auxiallery I painted but i want the whole unit done first.

Bewlay Posted May 27, 2011 Author Share Posted May 27, 2011 Cheers, unlike other armies NL have an advantage of kitting out their vehicles with individuality, without fancy paints (loyalists) or spikes (traitors) and I try to take this to a unique level. I feel cruified Astartes are abit cliche on NL vehicles, so on the Rhino above I created a small scene in which the guardsman wakes up to find him self on top of a NL's Rhino, tied to the neck, with a pile of corpses beside him. I was going to have an impaled Howling Banshee, screaming (abit of dark irony) while she hangs of the side of the Rhino, however because a quicker idea popped up, I decided the Eldar will be on the next Rhino. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicced Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 still liking what i'm seeing brother :D the struggling guardsman on the roof of the rhino is really great! one thing about your new missile guy though, his "empty" hand looks like a standard bolter hand with the trigger and grip still in it, i think you should swap it for a melee weapon hand, cause these look more like an empty fist. keep up the good work!

Bewlay Posted May 28, 2011 Author Share Posted May 28, 2011 Wicced: Completly agree with you, I don' feel perfect about the hand. I wanted a clenched fist to simulate running, but it still looks like he's holding the bolter, currently I trying to find a way of changing that without the use of a weapon, he's repositioning not charging. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicced Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 after thinking some more about it, i had an idea :D do you have one of the arms with the hand holding a grenade? i think that would be perfect to act as clenched fist, if you file the visible grenade parts off.

Bewlay Posted June 9, 2011 Author Share Posted June 9, 2011 Hey guys heres the profile of the Rhino, I feel it's a little rushed but it explains as to why 14th company have fast vehicles Rhinos ‘Iron beasts rear, Rhinos roar, tracks will crush and victims will ride atop their backs, bloody and screaming, riding atop their backs.’ Master Zartheal, Master of Armour. All Astartes are built for fast wars, quick deployment before a hasty withdraw, whether using Drop-pods or Rhinos all Astartes rely on their transport. The Night Lords are no exception however as terror troops speed and surprise is key, this is seen with the most profound difference between 14th company and other Astartes forces is the speed of their Rhino chasses. What made the Night Lords vehicles unique is that fancy paint works, or abundances of spikes did not singularise them but instead it was victims, still living, chained above the Rhinos, creating an orchestra of wails for the enemy to hear as their final sound. It is believed that the Blood Angels created the Lucifer engine, a powerful speed enhancer to the already speedy Rhino, however with the large abundance of Blood Angels and their successors, the Lucifer engine has been on multiple occasion stolen, the battle for Yoe’foua was one of those occasions. Yoe’foua is a small world, backward but under Imperial control, it is a ‘hot spot’ for Imperial governors looking for ‘get aways’. But the world was watched by the dreaded eyes of the Bloodtear, as the Weepers descended the Blood Angels threw them selves in to the bloodshed. The Blood Angels clearly could keep up with the Night Lords assaults due to their fast tanks, until the battle of Lipes Creek. The battle was to be easily won by the Blood Angels, as the Weepers artillery could not hit the speeding tanks before they got within cover. Master Zartheal decided to eliminate the foe using a mix of accurate firepower and surprise assaults, the result was destroyed bodies and wrecked tanks. The tanks were then split between Master Zartheal and The Artificer, to the distaste of the Master, both augmented the tanks and created what was surprisingly similar to the Lucifer engine, these augmentations were then spread across the entire Weepers armoured formations. Fast and dangerous, their lightning covered carcasses roar across the barren wastelands of the galaxy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paradigm Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 I really like how yours are turning out, especially your afflicted. It is very cool how you are making this force your own. You might consider running your krieg models as scouts, just up armor them a bit and give them appropriate weaponry. Then your auxillia can be used in normal games as well. You may have inspired me to make a just for fun squad of heretics. They should be in c:csm after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bewlay Posted June 19, 2011 Author Share Posted June 19, 2011 Thanks for the reply Fortnight, as far as scouts are concerned I already have scouts and because the club where i play aren't very competitive I'm allowed to use both my Night Lords (with the BA codex) and my mortal auxiliary (using FW's DKoK rules) in games of 200pt or more. So they often see use. Well I've been having a bit of a painting week and have managed to finish the infantry squad and almost finish the second Claw squad. I have some fluff on the mortal auxiliarys but thats on my other computer,so in the mean time http://i944.photobucket.com/albums/ad286/maximum_wonderous/057.jpg http://i944.photobucket.com/albums/ad286/maximum_wonderous/058.jpg Please C&C and see you soon :devil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bewlay Posted July 14, 2011 Author Share Posted July 14, 2011 Oh look who came out the shadows, alright it hasn't been that long. ;) For who ever gives a damn, in the time that I have been away I have been expanding the mortal aspects of my company but because this is a PA forum I won't clog the thread with silly flak armour :P But I have some more paragraphs for you all Claws Claws are units made up of the common Astarte’s, similar in role to the Tactical Marine, Claw squads form the backbone for the entire Weepers Company. Usually consisting of ten Marines, each armed with bolters, a special weapon, a heavy weapon and a sergeant, which all ride in a Rhino. The Claw squads have a lot of freedom; their armour is scavenged from the bodies of Astarte’s and can be customized in any way they see fit, for example one Claw squad polishes their armour to the extreme, so that the enemy can see their face, distorted and weeping in the reflection of the armour, while another leave their oiled and blood splattered, to ever increase the fear. Each individual Astarte has a distinctive amour, or weapon or choice of terror marking creating a ramshackle appearance for the Company. At the head of each squad will be the sergeant, the sergeant acts like any other, commanding his unit while slaying opponents himself. The sergeant will obtain the rank, either from experience or favour from the higher echelons of the company. Once in the position the sergeant can directly dictate what the unit does with its markings and equipment, although unusual it is not unheard for whole Claw squads to rid themselves of their sergeant due to this. All ten Claw units are commanded by Master of Claw, Master Valthoris. Valthoris holds a high authority within the Company, as Master of Claw his units see most action, as well commanding the Assault Claws, Master Valthoris often see’s action himself and has gain combat experience far beyond that of the other Masters, however due to the restricted flexibility of the units he command, there is often mockery from other Masters that he can merely win a fight, not a war. Mortal Auxiliary Before the heresy each Astartes legion was appointed a personal Imperial Army, when Horus defied the Emperor many of these Axillaries joined their parent Legion and became renegades. The 14th company was no exception, once the Bloodtear had split off from the main contingent of Night Lords, Expeditionary Fleet 143rd followed suit. The fleet contained the 32nd Hastre Infantry Regiment ‘Night Walkers’ and the 5th Hastre Artillery Battalion, both units greatly benefited the Weepers and instead were moulded into one and called the ‘Echoes’, named because of the supposed whines of the dead after a bombardment. Hastre was run dry of recruits and destroyed by the Weepers; recruits were then employed wherever possible. It is odd to think that such a tactically fast Legion should be joined by should an artillery heavy regiment, however it is the way the Bloodtear uses his mortal servants that make them effective. All Astartes, Night Lords especially are not built for wars of attrition, they strike fast and they strike hard, but long wars are inevitable and as a result the Weepers make use of their human Auxiliary, through the use of heavy bombardment the enemy are open to be gutted by the much faster Astartes, leading to a faster withdraw. The Echoes never use mighty artillery cannons like their imperial counterparts, but instead heavy use of Mortars and Medusa’s. The Echoes share some resemblance to the grim Death Korps of Krieg, with uniform comprising of trench coats, gasmasks and a fondness for bayonet charges; some ignorant populations mistake them for it, only to suffer an agonising death at the hands of the mortals masters. As the Weepers fleet travels from planet to planet, they pick aspirants to train to become one within the ranks of the Night Lords themselves, while the rest of the PDF forces, or trained army (if the planet is so lucky to have any left after the Weepers arrival) is forced into induction within the Echoes, from then on anyone who brakes any of the Bloodtears laws are then sent into the Penal units. It’s a harsh life to live within the confines of the Weepers fleet but a life, when abided that opens up opportunities far beyond the Imperium’s. Infantry Platoon ‘We are nothing but pawns to the Bloodtear, but we can be something more, without us all is ruin. Our significance reaches further than those of the Imperial Army. So reach for your lasgun, aim, and fire!’ The mortals aboard the Bloodtears armada are mere servants, slaves, labourers. Each Astarte is assigned five mortals; however depend on rank that can be raised. Each surf will assist his/her master with the basic necessities, armour maintenance, protection of their masters’ sanctuary or even simply comfort, as heresy era Astarte were not as lobotomized. Although these are the main tasks for the simple slave, all able bodied males are given combat training as well as personalized training from their masters, to allow them to assist their owners even in battle. The standard grunt will be assigned to an infantry platoon, in which he will be given flak armour and a lasgun. The Night Lords also equip all their auxiliary troops with gas masks, most of the company’s attacks are random, not much is learnt about the planet they raid and as a result they do not waste time finding out whether their mortals with be able to support themselves in harsh climates. The infantry platoons follow the standards set by Imperial Guard, each platoon consists of a single command squad and usually 4 bog standard infantry squads, supported by 2 squads of heavy weapons. Not all the mortals are of same position; some obtain ranks due to their masters’ favour or in the rare occurrence of pleasing a high ranked Astarte. For example most Claw squad Sergeants will have their surfs become veterans, or squad leaders themselves. The role of the standard platoon will be that of safe guarding the artillery, while the big guns pound the enemy form miles off, often infiltrating units or even outflanking armies will attempt to dispose of the cannons, only to be met with the fury of hundreds of lasguns. Platoon officers are far more ruthless, using the enhanced training from their masters and a gained arrogance, the platoon command will often be given better armour and handmade helms depicting demonic skulls, using the same fear inducing techniques as their masters on the common grunts the platoon demands all respect. However the officers are not all proud, when at war a platoon command will be accompanied by an Enforcer, similar to the Imperial Commissar, the Enforcer is an individual usually working for the commanding Astarte himself, dispatched to ensure loyalty within even the highest ranking mortal officer through the means of execution. Master Horrock, Master of Talon. Master Horrock is the youngest Master of the Bloodtears Company. Beginning his path as a simple Claw, he was known to the Master of Claw to be an expert shot and his strange, youthful optimism granted other within his unit useful boosts of moral. As each war carried the Weepers further away from the Imperium and the Heresy, Horrock demanded entrance into the crucible to speak to the Masters of the Company, about the decision of fleeing the oncoming Siege of Terra. Although he was denied entrance, the Bloodtear liked his audacity and kept a close eye on him. Time passed and Horrock was promoted into the Talons, and immediately his enthusiasm to try new ways of inducing terror was apparent, Incareal told the Master of Talon, Corvase to watch the young Astarte. Corvase was an old and conservative Marine; he didn’t like changes and certainly didn’t like young men thinking too high of themselves, especially with the new recruit getting all the attention. News spread of Corvase’s dislike for Horrock and upon the battle of Ther, Horrock stood idly by while his Master was torn apart, limb from limb by xenos. The Talons were left leaderless, and as usual the Bloodtear paid them a visit within their sanctuary. As the Bloodtear strode in, all Talons were present; his words flowed from his lips as he uttered the title ‘Horrock the Young, Master of Talon.’ Although the decision was doubted amongst the Company, the Bloodtears word was final. And so Horrock became the youngest Astarte to be inducted within the ranks of the Masters. During his time As Master of Talon, Horrock has used his unusual leadership skills to bond the fighting force to a greater height. With a passion for fighting Orks, Horrock has developed an ability to explore, using multiple, experimental terror tactics he has created a repertoire for himself which covers all situations. His favourite deployment is the Drop Pod assault, usually leaping from the landed craft, he fires randomly into the bewildered enemy. He wears personally crafted Power Armour, adorned will trophies of previous battles from skulls, to still twitching hands; he also wears a ceremonial helmet with the regular terror marking. It was on the world of Devor in which the former 14th company assaulted the renegade population and their Word Bearer overlords. It was up to the Talons and Raptors to quickly land and utterly horrify the people, while destroying the traitorous ‘Saviours’. And so Master Horrock fell to the group, he and his warriors cut a swath through the apostate crowds, while Master Vex and his Raptors landed with the churches to eliminate the priests and leaders. After the mobs were dispersed, Vex, Horrock and a few of their chosen warriors met the Apostle and his chosen, the battle was fierce but the Night Lords won by shattering half the church apart with melta bombs. The two Masters walk towards the dark alter, where the Apostle lay, hit by a plasma shot, half his face was liquefied as Vex cut his sword into the Word Bearers heart, Horrock began to read the unholy tome. As an argue arose the Master of Talon began to read aloud the demented text, but soon stopped as they both took an item each, Horrock took the Hand of Phenton, a power claw style weapon, while Vex took a gauntlet, adorned with the face of a snarling daemon. Neither men told anyone about the tainted items they stole, however merely 20 years later Vex was initiated into the Afflicted due to insanity. Some, who found out, say that Vex was the unlucky one, however inside the addled mind of the youth is a voice, slowly calling him towards the flames, towards glory.
