Guest giant275 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 This is my first Chaos Space Marine model i have painted. I have decided to go with the Night Lords paint scheme for my army. Am new to painting in general, i've only painted a few Ogres from Warhammer Fantasy before this. I'm not sure how i am going to base them, so some recommendations would be nice. Please c & c.

Brother Nihm Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 It might be the camera but he's mostly black with hints of blue. I quite like that. Good choice for your warband, may I recommend something easy like urban or desert bases? There are plenty of examples and recipes on GW's website.

Wicced Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 cork is a nice material for basing, it looks like rock if painted accordingly. marine is looking good. one thing though, he already has lightning on his shoulder, so i think he's finished, but the armor color looks like black to me. if you want him to look like a night lord, he needs dark (midnight blue) blue armour with lightning on it. the blue color of the robes of the ogre in the backround would be a good start. another thing would be highlighting, but i'm not an experienced painter myself, so i'll let others comment on that :D conversion wise, i like the choice of parts, especially the skull faced helmet fits the night lords scheme nicely. i'm looking forward to seeing more...

Guest giant275 Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Thanks for your replies guys. The camera isn't the best i know, but it is the best i have. It's my iPhone. The Marine armour is Necron Abyss, i know it looks alot darker/black but that is the camera :D . The bolter is Chaos Black though. There are some highlights there of regal blue followed by enchanted blue. They are visible, especially on the elbows and the backpack of the model. Thanks for the base recommendation, i will have a look on GW website for the info. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicced Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 phone camera, that explains it :D almost forgot, welcome to the 8th legion brother! Ave Dominus Nox! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest giant275 Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Heres my Captain finished. Still not decided on the bases yet. I also have another marine with bolter 3/4 done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicced Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 ah, now i see midnight clad :( captain looks nice, though i think the free spaces on his legs scream for more lightning. looking forward to more :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Ambroz Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Looks good but I agree with Wicced. Those legs are begging for a fork of lightning or two. I'm not sure if it's your camera phone or what but your Necron Abyss looks more purplish than my minis sitting in front of me. Comparing the two. ;) But anyways great start looking forward to seeing more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest giant275 Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 It must be the camera, looking at them infront of me, they are very much blue not purplish. :woot: I'll put some more lightning on the next model i finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lokkorex Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 looks a lot like my attempts at making a night lords force, though you've actually managed to finish some models! :P keep it up, you're doing great! B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest giant275 Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Hi guys, it's been a while since i've been on here due to me not painting much at all. I recently picked up my brushes again and had a good go at a couple of models. These models are done apart from the bases since i still haven't decided what to do for them. First i painted was a Terminator Lord. I've also finished another marine, he's nothing special so no solo pictures of him, instead here are all of my Night Lords army so far. The camera on my phone really doesn't do them justice. Please feel free to comment/criticise. Both are welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
