Night Lords "Tenebrous Winter" (GREY KNIGHT 08/12)

[Marqol]

Really liking the skin tone and the hair stubble. Any chance we could see a group shot?

[AlanofAngels]

@Marqol: For sure man I will get that together in the morning! There's only 4 at the moment but I do love me some group shots! 

 

Thanks for your kind words on the skin tone. I'm pretty pleased with it actually! 

[Daemon2027]

He looks really good. The skin tone looks just right, not so pale he looks ill.

[GrandMagnus]

Awesome! How did you paint the skin tone?

[AlanofAngels]

@Demon2027: That's what I was going for! I wanted to be a pretty vibrant guy, and I figured it looked much more real this way compared to the eerie pale that my Alpha Legion are!

@Anaziel: Thanks man! Honestly, I'm not sure I did a TON of washing and layering with mixed tones, but the colors included the old Bleached Bone and a bright GW flesh tone, with some Agrax washes, with Dawnstone washes for the stubble. I wish I could be more help!

So, about that group photo:

So far so good! More to come in a few days since I will be out of town until then All C&C welcome!

[Kizzdougs]

Brilliant! Love them all! They look great together 

[recon0321]

Alan

 

Would love to see you do a death guard marine

[Marqol]

They look great together. Looking like a squad but each one unique. 

[Grizzly_bear]

They look bloody awesome fella

[GrandMagnus]

Best. (HH) Night Lords. EVER!

[AlanofAngels]

@Kizzdougs: Thanks a lot man! Your Emperor's Children are absolutely sick!

@Recon0321: That would be interesting! I remember some years ago I tried a DG marine, with the streaky white armour scheme. I may have to re-approach that some day!

@Marqol: Thanks! That's what I'm going for with all these guys! I think the combination of scheme and shoulder pad insignia should tie the squad/army together despite the varying armour and equipment marks. 
@Dorns Fist: Thanks a bunch dude! I love your Fists (navy blue? I like it  ).

@Anaziel: Thanks so much for the kind words! 

 

More to come, guys! Once some of these bolter marines are done, I can move onto some sergeants and special weapons!  Thanks for looking!

[Chaeron]

Just insane talent. Love the dude without a helmet - just how?! Tutorial please!

[Brother Kirus]

^{Quite inspiring blog so far! Your NL colorscheme/composition is very close to my own vision of this legion. Keep up a good work!}  

^{P.S. What is your recipe for “Midnight Clad”?}

Omigosh!

 

I can't put into words how cool it is to see you working on the 8th legion.

 

Your Alphas were a big inspiration for me starting out on the BnC, so seeing you turn your awesomely unique paint scheme on the best of the 18 legions makes me super happy ^_^

 

Gorgeous work so far!

[AlanofAngels]

@Chaeron: Thanks SO much, man! Next time I work on a face I will try to do a tutorial; problem was, with this guy, that I hardly knew what I was doing half of the time  There were so many washes and blended layers, but I will try to get at least something together!

@Brother Kirus: Thanks! The recipe is elsewhere is the thread, but it's basically Kantor blue, followed by McCragge and then Russ on the edges.

@Flint13: You are WAY too kind! Your Night Lords are so awesome; it's always great to see more of the original legions get 41st millennium love  

 

Having finally finished reading the Night Lords omnibus while away from home, I really have a hankerin' to get back to the VIII Legion! More to come! Oh yes... there is more to come. 

[AlanofAngels]

I have returned! I assembled a fifth guy today! He has a raptor head because I thought it was pretty cool and also a sheathed blade because reasons! He has since been primed and is about to get a blast of midnight clad

More to come soon! Thanks for looking!

[Memento Of Prospero]

** Drool**

 

**slurp**

 

So yeah, I need to go to the washroom....

[deathspectersgt7]

Love those Alphas. But did not know NLs could look so pretty.

[DietOfLiquor]

Dang dude, your NL's are super fresh and super clean clean if you know what I'm saying! 

[Daemon2027]

Looking forward to the new guy. I like the Raptor heads to, much better the old gw versions.

[Marqol]

Good choice on the raptor helmet, always did think they suit Night Lords. Quick question, where is the chest piece from?

[Nemac Vradon]

Really like these Night Lords and the stark lightning on the armour works really well. I think the chest piece is from the Death Company kit with the gubbins removed?

@Wolf Pack: Haha thanks man! Your Iron Hands are really awesome! That Mk IV dread is such a cool model; I may be picking one up soon!

@DeathSpecterSgt7: Thanks! I'm sure the Alphas will make their sneaky way back into this thread at some point  
@DietOfLiquor: I do believe I do  Thanks!
@Daemon2027: I agree. The new raptor/warp talon heads look so much better I think, especially for Night Lords!  
@Marqol: Thanks dude! It is indeed from the Blood Angel Death Co. kit, with the blood drops shaved off! I think it looks suitably chaosy with the skull and layered armour. 

@Nemac Vradon: I was initially unsure about the lightening, but I actually really have been liking the starkness as well! Thanks!

 

So I am back out of town, but while out I managed to pick up a new kit (lucking out and finding a store right near me!). Once I can get a picture of it, I'll be sure to post it. I'm pretty (unreasonably) excited! More to come!  

[caprera]
