Vrell Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 I'm just starting a small NL army. Due to cost I make all my HQ and squad leader have winged helms. What do the rest of you do? I'm open to suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menkeroth Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 You're free to choose - winged helmets, skulled or usual or a mix of them. It's a matter of fluff and your preferences. Here're some examples: http://i35.fastpic.ru/thumb/2012/0316/42/f4a2f45459f1c2f91102823fa9320242.jpeg http://i35.fastpic.ru/thumb/2012/0316/b5/76b2b0a1f9fad9498bb89ee8e28301b5.jpeg http://i35.fastpic.ru/thumb/2012/0316/bd/a5085b7b6ba9cc3011f1a1d820ff62bd.jpeg http://i35.fastpic.ru/thumb/2012/0316/28/3ea919efd5616d23934858dfdb037228.jpeg http://i35.fastpic.ru/thumb/2012/0316/af/70e10d159ef52d39e6bdae434cb179af.jpeg http://i35.fastpic.ru/thumb/2012/0316/35/b32f3f05a5b3ca532019130ac6440b35.jpeg http://i35.fastpic.ru/thumb/2012/0316/09/648cabf13595bc872fe80a3c3682fe09.jpeg http://i35.fastpic.ru/thumb/2012/0316/e7/b968b844e9da50ccbccd943166fbc9e7.jpeg http://i35.fastpic.ru/thumb/2012/0316/c2/bc32458d258b4b2b18ab11017fcf04c2.jpeg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vrell Posted March 16, 2012 Author Share Posted March 16, 2012 Damn! Dan the Daemon's amazing Immortal Terrors army looks good. Some real nice ideas.. i might be tempted to borrow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paradigm Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 You can do it however you want. There is no fluff saying they always wear winged helms. In fact the fluff depicts them as a ceremonial thing. Think of it as a sort of "dress" uniform. The majority of marines in the fluff use some kind of terror marking, but there is nothing that says you need tons of those either. Warbands are entirely unique and outside the legion of descent's regulations when it comes to heraldry. Â I use a mix of terror markings, and blank blue helms for mine, some have thunderbolts. None have wings, but that is because I don't care for the ones that come with the kit. Â Also, congrats on picking an awesome lineage for your new Warband!

Doghouse Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 I like the idea of winged helms but not the GW metal versions. I think that if they were smaller and more swept back like the DA ones it might work though. In addition to painting terror markings on their helmets they also attached parts of alien skulls on their helmets as well. Something like an alien jaw bone attached to the visor of a NL helmet would look pretty cool. Â Mk VI marine helmets are great for terror markings.

Kizzdougs Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Personally i prefer regular helmets with the deaths head painted on. Wings can be cool but as others have said smaller is better. The VC tomb guard box set has some really great wings that are perfect for NL helmets (as seen in 'Dan the Daemons' super awesome army). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reyner Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 I'd say use the winged helms on the elite units, like champions and chosen. Some converting with vampire counts would make decent helms... Must look into that someday. Â Â Â You're free to choose - winged helmets, skulled or usual or a mix of them. It's a matter of fluff and your preferences.

Vrell Posted March 19, 2012 Author Share Posted March 19, 2012 Nice pictures. They helped me loads. Â Just a idea i would like to share. Â I got a Dark Angels Grand Master Azrael back pack a while ago. I carfully cut off the banner pole and made a mould of the power pack. Man it looks sweet on my test model. Due to the skulls it looks like a chaos Power pack .... it just has not "stretched" out to look like the chaos one....yet. I plan on making enough for my 3 squads.

Captain Tezdal Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Personally I love the winged helms, and would so put 'em on all my Night Lords... but then again as a World Eaters player I've always been a fan of excessively large headgear.

KANE1203 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Maybe make your chosen with the winged helmets. Thats what im going to do plus give them cyphers backpacks to add a little more terror look to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the jeske Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 If the wings arent big and the lightning on the armor doesnt actualy move as it is in thorpe fluff then those are not true NL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kol Saresk Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Well since I go by A-D-B fluff, wings are ceremonial, lightning is optional and midnight clad is mandatory. Ave Dominus Nox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
