Horus Heresy Night Lords - Fear of the Dark !


Caldaron

Recommended Posts

Hey Cald!

 

Echoing everyone else, love your work so far! It was interesting to me, that while there seemed to be a few terrific post-heresy nightlord blogs, I rarely saw one that did anything with them pre-heresy. Well except for a few "test" models here and there. I just got about 20 pre-heresy marines that are destined for midnight clad, so seeing what you can achieve with them is pretty inspiring.

 

Thanks!

 

Oh, and if I had to level a criticism... I do miss the helmet wings. I started 40k the day 3rd edition came out, so I'm kind partial to that left over 90's look old NLs have ^_^

Hello ...

@ skillingspree :

The cloak is from the Vampire Counts Wight King.

@ Flint 13 & DarkMark :

I have paint more dirt on the tracks from the land raider, it's looks better.

I hate the land raider I think he just looks bad, hopefully coming soon the etched brass from forgeworld.

Tomorrow then come pictures of the last two MkIV Marines.

Quick question... since the proteus's tracks loop all the way around (instead of going up under a cowling like the normal LR) wouldn't mud be tracked the whole length of them?

 

It looks really pretty as it is, but having the mud only near the bottom looks more like it has been sitting idle on a muddy tract of land for awhile, instead of charging across a war-torn battlefield to deliver a cargo of angry nightlords. Though I can understand how it might be impractical to try to weather the tracks all the way 'round.

Cald,

 

Would you mind elaborating a bit on how your do your nightlords' terror markings? I struggle with getting anything that doesn't look flat or like I just painted the front of the helmet white. Yours look awesome so far, especially your avatar's. That little line of brown/black edging the white of the marking seems to make a really big difference.

I love your painting skills and your HH Night Lords look great! (and that's a lot considering I'm a DA fan ;) )

 

Doesn't it seem odd that a NL would carry a vexilla? All that criminally background doesn't fit in with honor and rallying for humanity. Maybe you could do a more morbid feel to it? Like a spike or lightning bolt with skulls chained to it? :D

That raider looks great! Much more realistic now too.

 

I also like your work on the Sgt's crested helm. I always imagined the traditional roman-esque crests would look out of place on the nightlords, but you have done them terrifically.

WOW! :blink:

 

What a thread! I can't beleive I missed that for so long! Brillinat stuff there Caldaron, from the shade of blue to the lightning effects, to the measured weathering... And the bases are top notch! I also think it's great how you made individual "skull" effects to each trooper... MORE PLEASE! :D

 

As comments go, please, PLEASE do something about the background of your pics... The current one is so distracting... :lol:
