Not sure Creeping Death is right for a giant metal box covered in guns and featuring  spikey murder treads (which looks great by the way).

Well a landraider isn't exactly the fastest of vehicles. I thought it fit quite nicely with the Night Lords MO, It's crawling forward inexorably and unstoppably and there's nothing you can do to stop it.

Yeah that's fair, I guess it just sounded at bit weird to me as me that phrase has connotations of stealth and subtlety, qualities that a landraider certainly doesn't possess!

Evening children of the night (Gary Oldman voice),

 

The WIP section seems rather quiet today, probably because it's friday and you all have lives to live, unlike me :teehee:, so I figured I'd give you all something I know you've probably all been waiting to see. The man at the top, the commander of the 15th company and a warlord of the VIII Legion.

 

I present Hashec Tor, Captain of the 15th Company, VIII Legion Astartes. Known as "The Hammer of Nostramo"

As I look at him now I think I might do a couple more things, 1.) fill in the chaos star on the axe and sculpt bat wings on either side of the blade, and 2.) cut the current power fist cable off and make one with the hand-dandy GS cable maker I just got from GS industries. No sense not going the extra mile with one's Chaos Lord.  Anyways, C&C much appreciated, as always.

 

AVE DOMINUS NOX!

So, looking at this again, I got a couple questions.

 

1) I'm pretty sure I know where every part of this guy came from except for the wings or spines or whatever on his back. Where are those from?

 

2) How much of a PITA was it to carve that helmet away from the Dark Vengeance apostle?

Funny enough, I can answer both of these.

 

1. The wings come from the Vampire Count Grave Guard Box

 

2. It's actually not that difficult to get the face plate. The helmet comes in two pieces. The back is connected to the arm and the face plate which literally only has the guy's thumb on it. From the looks of it, he only used the face plate and Greenstuffed the rest of it. I did the same thing with a Dark Apostle.

@Brother Chaplain Kage:

Thanks! It looks like Noctus has already answered your questions, the helmet wasn't too much trouble just had to carefully remove the thumb and then I just green-stuffed it to an old warriors of Chaos helm. The wings are as Noctus said, from the Vampire Counts Graveguard helmets.

 

@Noctus Cornix:

Glad you like him, I plan on doing a post here in the future similar to what 1000 Heathens just did for his Iron Warriors over in the 30k section, where I break down the entire company composition including any auxiliary forces and personnel. But basically the gist of it is going to be that 15th company was basically an armored shock assault group. They still practiced terror tactics and rapid strikes like the legion as a whole, but they were called on when targets either weren't susceptible to fear or were supremely well defended and organized. This is why Hashec Tor earned the name "The Hammer of Nostramo", he was brutal, direct, and achieved results, albeit with higher than normal casualty rates. This is also why in the 41st millennium 15th Company has a larger vehicle pool than most other Night Lords bands outside of Krieg Acerbus.

 

@Jaspcat:

Blushing lol, but seriously I'd be interested to hear any project ideas you might have. After seeing the way 40k is heading I am more than ready to finish this army with honor and then roll back the clock 10,000 years. Though after seeing how well the SoH are being treated, I really want to wait and see the Night Lords releases. I might just end up doing 15th Company at the height of the Heresy ;)

 

@Kizzdougs:

Thanks! He's definitely a labor of love :)

Ah well that's not a whole crap ton of people, I mean think about the size of legions, there's no way the burden of spearheading assaults would only fall to one company alone. We could even weave that into our fluff and have both of ours be part of a 5 company detachment that was used in such a way. If not that, then also remember how many different crusade fleets their were. One company couldn't be responsible for cracking every fortress in every Night Lord war zone. See? There's room enough for all of us in this grimdark galaxy we call home :)

Your lord is looking great so far! Do you have something planned for the huge empty area on his power fist, though? A freehand, or maybe some skulls tied to the back of his fist?

 

Also, I hope you didn't already glue everything together: From my experience, he could be a chore to paint if everythings already permanently attached...

@Capitano:

Sorry about that brother! I guess great minds think alike? :)

 

@KrautScientist:

.....yep lol. I might break the arms off and blu-tac them back before painting now that I think about it. Damn got in build mode again.

Now that was primed for a good 'ol "strike me down with all of your hatred...." type effort.

 

I have a sort of idea of what I want my force/warband/raiders to be like but I want to see Massacre and see all of the juicy goodies available to us and also see what's effective because there's so much from FW that's sexy at the moment it's a chore trying to decide what to buy
