Night Lords 15th Company - In Memoriam...Pg.68

[skawolf]

These are pretty rad. Making me want to pull out some greenstuff again.

[Brother Heinrich]

Damn it reached my quota of likes.

 

Ill like it tomorrow!!!!

I need that printed on a shirt

Sadly I have no printing press available, or I'd gladly make you one brother :)

Awesome terminators fella

Thanks man! Can't wait to see your next Crimson Fists update! (keeping an eye out for brother Maximo ;) )

Great looking terminators! And I presume the knife scabbard on the first one will be painted as flayed skin?

But of course ;)

Sooooooooooo much better than their predecessors. Finding with Termies Posing is everything. Axe heads look much better as well brother   Let me know if you ever want me to throw up Sazzick Noct.

Thanks man for pushing me to up the ante! As far as Sazzick goes, fell free to post him up whenever man, you can post him here or in your thread, whatever you like. Had an idea too that he could even be seconded the the Chapter of the Forsaken truth for the time being, learning from the masters of the warp themselves and all that.

The champ is solid.

This thread is great inspiration source my friend.

Thanks man, yours has likewise been an awesome source of creative inspiration. Ave Dominus Nox!

Breathtaking work, Heinrich. Literally eye-opening, new-swear-word-inventing stuff.

 

 

The fools think us gone from this galaxy. They think we are nought but shadows and dust, tales of terror to frighten wayward children. The clerics and scholars of the false emperor declare us all long dead, simply the stuff of nightmares. They cite crumbling scrolls and corrupted data stacks filled with lies and half-truths. They think they know our histories, our triumphs, our sorrows and shames, they no nothing. They infest the empire we built like maggots in a rotting corpse. They think they have nothing to fear from their fallen angels, they couldn't be more wrong..." - Hashec Tor, Captain of 15th Company, VIII Astartes Legion.

 

Hashec Tor.

 

15th Company. 

 

Noted.

Well I can honestly say that made my entire day! It's largely thanks to your outstanding novels that this army has come to life, so you have my eternal thanks in return :)

 

(Also, if Hashec ever makes an appearance, know that this thread will probably die off, as the massive stroke I will suffer is largely going to prevent me from continuing this hobby. Know however that it would be stroke suffered with pure joy and pride.)

These are pretty rad. Making me want to pull out some greenstuff again.

Always happy to inspire fellow hobbyists brother!

MkIV And MKII night lord pads in the new FW news letter.

[Kol Saresk]

Nobody need worry about the thread dying off. If Heinrich dies, I will hunt him down and bring his soul back to the land of the living and shove it down his throat! :D

[HellChyld]

stupid I phone why does it only wanna record the minor stuff!!!  Heinrich everything looks great and the custom pad is excellent. way to keep the bar raised. looking forward to more. and as I said before in the new FW newsletter they have new landraider doors and MKII AND IV nightlord pads along with some word bearer stuff..

[Chronotonic]

ok ok ok

 

A-D-B posted on your work...go you...

 

Now get back to work...haha

 

I have a bike to check out...

[Grizzly_bear]

Brother màximo is being put together today...so ill message you when it's all updated

[DarkVen]

It would be awesome if one of the BaCh midnight clad would appear in one of the official 40k novels.

And you brother deserve it as no one else.

@Kol:

I give you permission to perform necromancy upon my corpse in the event of my death.

 

@HellChyld:

Thanks, yeah I was going all gaga over the new Night Lords FW stuff. It feels so good to scroll over that Horus Heresy tab and see a 'Night Lords' section :)

 

@Capitano:

Haha, I've calmed down sufficiently to continue working. I apologize for the delay on the bikes, GW has made life really difficult on that front. Apparently they took notes from the 3rd Reich on making every tank different, and applied it to bikes. Every single bike kit has some stupid, subtle difference that keeps them from kit-bashing nicely. WHY CAN'T THEY BE LIKE RUSSIAN T-34s!

 

@Dorns_fist:

Super excited to see him man!

 

@DarkVen:

Thanks brother, but I have to say you definitely bear the Corona Nox when it comes to Night Lords, Dan picked a fitting successor for sure!

Work has continued on the Atramentar 2.0 project, I added some trim to their but plates to make them EXTRA heretical, as well as chainmail to cover the exposed arm hydraulics beneath each shoulder pad. I love the Chaos Knight shoulder pads but they create that glaring weakness in terminator war-plate. Oh and I also finished the spines on all their backs. Let me know what you think!

On this fellow I tweaked his position and changed out his axe arm. The previous incarnation got in the way of squad coherency and generally acted like one of those plastic monkeys in that barrel of monkeys game. I also changed out the wings above his head and his helmet. The old ones seemed a little too large and over the top.

Last, but far from least, Hashec Tor in what I believe is his final incarnation. I cut out the iffy GS skull and just slapped a plastic one in between the wings for his shoulder icon. He also got the chainmail treatment. Let me know what you guys think:

I bought a couple of the new Combi-Plasmas from ebay the other day so as soon as they get in the Atramentar will enter their final stages. Freaking bit sites need to hurry up and get those suckers in stock already  

 

C&C much appreciated as always guys,

 

Ave Dominus Nox. 

[Grizzly_bear]

Ah man these look AWESOME....just scream individualaility on a terror scale

 

Pure awesome

[Kol Saresk]

Dude, that little chainmail(it is chainmail right?) beneath the shoulder guards looks awesome.

[Tyrannicide]

Hein, this is seriously one of the greatest units I've ever seen. They're all individual in their own way but maintain a strong cohesiveness. I can't wait to see em painted up. 

 

You're an inspiration, dude. I'd be humbled to game against an army this twisted-ly gorgeous.

[DarkVen]

 

WHY CAN'T THEY BE LIKE RUSSIAN T-34s!

'cause you need Russians to produce and drive Russian tanks.

 

Awesome stuff.

[Bryan Blaire]

Love 'em, and the chain mail over the hydraulics is brilliant!

 

Please give a small run down on how you do it? I'm hoping to convert some of the robes on my Stoneburners (DV DA minis) to chain.

 

Awesome work, Brother Heinrich!

[Kol Saresk]

 

 

WHY CAN'T THEY BE LIKE RUSSIAN T-34s!

'cause you need Russians to produce and drive Russian tanks.

 

Awesome stuff.

 

 

But you need a factory in Vietnam, South Korea and China, tires from Taiwan, gaskets from Mexico and an assembly plant in the US to build a Harley-Davidson.

 

Made in America my butt.

[Marshal Rohr]

You could have Harley's or you can eat. Pick one. :P

[Kol Saresk]

You could have Harley's or you can eat. Pick one.

I pick a Vulcan. It's honest about being foreign, cheaper on the gas and I can still eat. So ha!

[goosey_j]

C'est incredible

[GhostMalone]

So brother not long and the XVth will join the battle for humanity :)

 

I can see that once the termies are done we really just have the bikes right?

[Brother Aiwass]

Can't wait to see that stuff painted. And the gruesome trphies aswell :D

[Brother Heinrich]

@Dorns_fist:

Thanks man, I really wanted to convey each Marine in this army as their own special, unique snowflake. Glad to see it's working.

 

@Kol_Saresk:

Thanks man, yes it is chainmail, first time I've sculpted it too, though with guys like Zsoulless and BCK running around I feel compelled to constantly step my game up.

 

@Darth Potato:

Thanks man, I really appreciate the comment and I'm stoked the individuality came across without breaking the unit's cohesiveness. I gotta paint up some Heresy Night Lords now so we can lock horns in the 31st Millennium ;)

 

@DarkVen:

Gotta love that Russian reliability, hence why I own an AK lol.

 

@Bryan Blaire:

Thanks! I'll try and throw a tutorial up tonight if possible, it was pretty simple if you have the right tools.

 

@goosey_j:

Thanks!

 

@Jaspcat:

Yeah there's 6 bikes left to build, finishing touches on the Rhinos and Landraider, and finishing up the Atramentar. May build a Heldrake in the future, but I still have yet to come up with a way to make the thing look cool. After that we're gonna get cranking on our campaign and I'm gonna help Kibosh paint his Word Bearers. Busy schedule, but I think I'll probably strip some of my old Heresy World Eaters and just do a couple Night Lords at a time. I may work it to where I can make most of this army interchangeable between 30k and 40k. Gotta see what Massacre holds though...

 

@Maximvs:

Thanks man, hopefully the Atramentar and Hashec Tor will be done this week!

 

[Zsoulless]

The Chainmail looks really good!!

Only thing I could really offer, and it's Minor, would be to try to make sure each line is done in opposing directions, to make it look a little more "Woven"..

So if your sculpting one line of dots left to right, do the next line right to left

Love this Blog!

One of the reasons Why I had to toss together my own little NL..

[Balthamal]

I'm almost dribbling in anticipation at seeing the finished Atramentar since that's the standard I'll have to at least attempt matching when it comes to doing my HH ones

[Brother Heinrich]

@Zsoulless:

This is why you're the master and I am but the apprentice, awesome advice! I was trying to think why it looked slightly off, motivated to get at it and do some chainmail during lunch now haha! Glad I helped inspire that fabulous Night Lord, I really want to start sculpting heads, I feel like I am running out of GW heads that fit the evil look I'm going for.

 

@Balthamal:

I look forward to it man! I had no idea you were doing Heresy Night Lords!

[Balthamal]

Yep I've finally nailed the slaves to the sides of the rhi....I mean nailed my colours to the mast as it were. Just need to get my hands on the books now and a rather large amount of FW models (the soul of my 1st born is already being held as guarantee) to get cracking
