Martox Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Ave Fraters. It's been a while. I'm back from however long my haiatus has been. With 6th round the corner and rumors of Chaos Legions on the rise, I thought it was best to sit down and start again on the ol' Night Lords. The marines met with a bath of Dettol (which is brilliant for stripping paint, by the way) and whilst they soak I'm working on a couple of units I've always wanted but never got round to working on properly. First, is a unit of Atramentar Terminators. Some of you may remember my Atramentar Lord from a while back. After getting hold of that miraculous stuff known as Instant Mold, I've managed to improve the shoulder pads. Here's the first of a unit of 5 to go with my new Lord (who'll be based on Tyberos, Pictures of him when I get round to sorting out the bent lightning-claws). http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v289/Martox/atramentar_wip.jpg Next is something I've wanted to do since I picked up the kit. I, like most, thought the Contemptor pattern dreadnought kits from Forgeworld were brilliant. It needed a little bit of Chaosifying to make it fit in the force. The image here shows the winged skull, which has been removed. Still mulling over how best to make that. I'm also mulling over whether I should add the trim to the left leg aswell. The rest however, still stands: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v289/Martox/DSCI0003-1.jpg I'll hopefully be a bit more on the ball with this thread, since I leave others to die not long in. I'm tempted to turn on forum-mail for whenever a person sends me a pm and have people spam me until I make updates. That might be a motivational tool. Also, paitning will be a little while, as I'll be getting hold of an airbrush compressor at some point (any suggestions on that would be brilliant, as I'm a bit lost on that front.) Anyway, C&C welcome and appreciated as always! Cheers. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/253569-night-lords-wip/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhetoricus Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Welcome back dude. Looks like a cracking start. Can't wait to see more. I think you were right to remove the skull from the dreadnought. Just wasn't quite right. It'll look ace if you manage to nail it though. Can we get a better shot of that termies head please? Is that stock or have you done something to it? Cheers.

Martox Posted June 3, 2012 Author Share Posted June 3, 2012 The terminators head is stock, it's... http://www.modelbits.co.uk/images/chaos_te...ator_head_e.jpg that one.

subtlebrush Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 I actually liked the winged skull. Maybe if you added a different skull.... Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/253569-night-lords-wip/#findComment-3076953 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martox Posted June 18, 2012 Author Share Posted June 18, 2012 Ave fraters, This sort of droppdo ff the map for a bit, but I've a fair few projects going on that aren't PA or even related to The Hobby. As such, work is sparse. However, whilst watching Crotia get put out of the footie: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v289/Martox/nllwip.jpg I got my Captain up to this point. Not sure what else I can add really, not wanting to go with a cape. No room for the trophy racks. Any suggestions would be welcomed though. Until next time, Cheers.

subtlebrush Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 I think the Captain looks fine. Awesome job! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/253569-night-lords-wip/#findComment-3088850 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kassill Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Really like the shoulder pads! Can't wait to see them painted! :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/253569-night-lords-wip/#findComment-3088974 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kizzdougs Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Those terminators are awesome! If we get the option for an all terminator force in the new codex these minis would look awesome as an entire army. The contemptor is also looking great. I like the wings on the chest but they just need a different skull. Also trim would look awesome on both legs. Keep up the excellent work! I'm looking forward to seeing some paint on them!

Martox Posted June 25, 2012 Author Share Posted June 25, 2012 After a bit more work, here's the latest on the Atramentar Claw to go with my (still) WIP Captain: The Claw: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v289/Martox/group-1.jpg Sergeant: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v289/Martox/champion.jpg Powerfist Claw member: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v289/Martox/powerfist.jpg Apothecary: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v289/Martox/apoth.jpg C&C appreciated as always :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/253569-night-lords-wip/#findComment-3095567 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biohazard Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Great to see you working on your NL again. I've had an image of your Khârn conversion saved for ages. I keep wanting to build something similar. For the captain how about maybe a loincloth to balance him out a little more? The gs pads are looking good.

Heru2012 Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Love them! I blame A-D-B for most of the armies I want to make now, and the gaping hole in my wallet where babyfood money should be!

Hehe, I spotted you posted him whilst I was at work earlier today. Was quite surprised. He's on my desk at the moment, needs to undergo some re-working and repair. Going to use him as a Berzerker champ for a unit of 'Condemned'. I'll look into a loincloth for the Captain, it's a possibility I didn't concider. Cheers for the idea! Thanks Heru - I've wanted to do a unti of Atramentar ever since I first read about them. Thankfully, someone invented Instant Mold and my dreams became reality!
