Sheidy Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Plague marines my favourite of the two, he looks awesome!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 I like your style. But there is something about the Nightlord that doesn't do it for me... Maybe he doesn't look Chaotic enough... That is if you ignore the feet he might as well be a loyalist! Ok there is the shoulder pad but still... Maybe the armor should be more baroque to denote ancient age or maybe it is the absence of the lightning effect on the armor... I don't know. The pose is fine. The Plague Marine I like. Your take on non-bloated Nurgle Marines is refreshing and I think this is the way GW should be taking them in the next Codex. Here's to hoping... Having said that the other Plague Marine you've drawn I liked better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greyall Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 That Plague Marine looks great, I like that you like the cyclopic style. The Night Lord is cool, but the pose - the feet, essentially - is a tad awkward. Maybe if his right leg was a bit more straightened out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurgling6688 Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 That Plague Marine is awesome! As a loyal Deathguard player I'm really liking your Nurgle stuff as well as all the rest. One crit on the Raptor, his pose looks awkward, i feel like one of his legs should be extended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retributis Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Night Lord needs more lightning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isiah Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Plague marine is pure awesome sauce – you can almost smell his foetidness :lol:. For me the Rapter's lower legs look way too large in diameter so make him look too ungainly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimdarkness Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Yeah the feet on the night lord are off. Death Guard is aces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronophague Posted November 18, 2011 Author Share Posted November 18, 2011 Funny, about the legs on the Raptor, I dunno, he's airborne at that particular time, the idea is that he's just about to touch down on the ground, thus the feet are about to extend. Offcourse, obviously something is wrong with the pose if this isn't conveyed in the image... :P I personally like the legs, even mirrored, so I dunno. I'll look into it, on some level at least. Seems the feet cause mixed reactions, some people see them wrongly, other think they are fine... Dunno. @Retributis There must be one nightlord out there without lightning on his armor. ;) But yeah, kinda overlooked that. :) No mickey mouse ears either, I liked the old school nighlords more than the "modern" scare your kids kinda Night Lords. :) Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greyall Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 I get the "touching down" feeling from the Night Lord, mate, it just isn't a great moment to snap a photo =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greyall Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Don't really agree, there. Not only is midnight blue very different from the Thousand Sons' tone, Night Lords tend to use less trimming, and it's bronzed, not gold. Furthermore, their iconography and choice of trophies is very characteristic. Though every Chaos soldier uses skin and skulls, Night Lords are especially adept at making it disturbing. The daemon-wing theme is delicate indeed, it can easily look silly. As for lightning, it isn't, I think, an essential part of Night Lords' armour. It does look good when it's properly done, though. Your Raptor, Chrono, is an instant-recognizable Night Lord. It's got the color, the "plainish" (in a good way) look and the slender claws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olgerth Istaarn Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 The plague marine is brilliant. The raptor, not so much. Greaves are too thick and massive in relation to his toes. Look at the Raptor models - their feet aren't tentacly, they are mechanized, thick and jointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does look good when it's properly done, though. Well, although I agree that the picture above is recognizable as a Night Lord it's more because of elimination (what else could it be?) rather than instant recognition. In fact it's pretty close to a generic Chaos Marine and only the need to categorize him in a legion leads you to NLs. To me the lightning pattern is a signature element for NLs and if it is absent there are very few other trademarks that would convey the message... The bat wings on the helmet and the chest plate maybe... But helmet wings are dangerous because it's very easy to look comical, so I'm happy the NL above doesn't have any. But GW miniatures are so funny, it's not funny... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greyall Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 But GW miniatures are so funny, it's not funny... True that, so true. That great thread by Dan the Daemon on the Night Lords' 18th Company is were I go to learn how to make the Nostraman boys serious even when donning bat-wings.

Terrahawk Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Great stuff, I think you have a nice and unique style going. I'm especially digging the Plague Marine. Now draw a jump-packing BA Assault Marine! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azazel Wolf Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 I think that the Raptor looks awesome!!! I also like the fact that he isn't too chaos-ish. And if you read the books, specifically those by ADB, not all the Night Lords have the lightning thing going on. In fact, all they had in the books Soul Hunter and Blood Reaver was their midnight blue armor and a white skull painted on their helment. After all, a lot of the Night Lords don't see themselves as Chaos at all, rather as renegades. There is even mention in Blood Reaver that they don't serve the Chaos gods and no Night Lord in their group would ever bow their knee to anyone, Chaos God or otherwise. I think the Night Lord is awesome! The plague marine is Awesome too! I also like that he isn't too bloated. Great Work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MithrilForge Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 they both look awesome, but i think you should drill out the barrel on the nurgle guy :lol: oh wait,you need to draw the barrel as though its drilled out ;) the backgrounds are especially nice. cheers,mithril Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sceadwe Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Nice work, I like the raptor, to me it looks like he has just taken off and is adjusting a small instability (sort of like Ironman in the film, he takes off, wobbles a tiny bit, then zooms away) Also loving the cyclops. Although I do prefer nurgle to be as disgusting as the artist can manage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhg033 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 with the night lord - the pose he's in looks like he's either hovering or ascending but the smoke behind him suggests he's flying forward from a distance. maybe some more indication of which way/how he's moving would help the pose? really liking the plague marine - extra details in the background help to set it off. kind of reminds me of the opening of terminator done in a 40k/nurgle style Lhg033 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowstalker Grim Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Both these pieces are awesome, I got the feeling that the Raptor was touching down, the angle certainly seems to convey it..I guess the elongated hand does make him look a little odd, but I think he looks really good! As for the nurgle marine...well thats really awesome, I love the fact theres stuff going on around him too, makes it all seem all the more dramatic!
