geektom Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Wow, chaos weapons have cool names, lol. Just read through this entire thread again- such a great army... Inspirational!

Brother Heinrich Posted October 29, 2014 Author Share Posted October 29, 2014 Evening Brethren, No 'official' update as far as my Call of Chaos vow goes, but I have something I'm sure you'll all enjoy just as much. The central figure of this entire warband and blog, Captain Hashec Tor, has taken a trip to the armory and found some shiny new toys with which to maim, kill, and burn. After listening to all of your fine advice on the subject of gear for a Chaos Lord, I decided to give him back the infamous Axe of Blind Fury and pair it up with it's fiery soulmate, the Burning Brand of Skalathrax. Rest assured I plan on writing a good piece of fluff to weave the narrative back from his fall to the God of Decay and into the good favor of the Blood God once more (Krautscientist will no doubt be pleased). I'm also happy to have him back in Terminator armor as nothing exudes pure menace like a walking behemoth of ceramite and bronze covered in grisly trophies of the slain. Paint will come in the next couple of days, but here is the mock-up of his new arms, comments and criticisms much appreciated and encouraged as always. http://i1162.photobucket.com/albums/q532/mv8830/Night%20Lords%20II/8262fa4a-1495-4baf-b2e6-44f8e2c88aaa_zps56e9b221.jpg http://i1162.photobucket.com/albums/q532/mv8830/Night%20Lords%20II/6da15e04-f50d-4e4d-95ea-a2d9ef95e3cc_zps0af1aac9.jpg http://i1162.photobucket.com/albums/q532/mv8830/Night%20Lords%20II/29581015-29f4-4342-bb62-23751239bb1f_zps9a2408ca.jpg http://i1162.photobucket.com/albums/q532/mv8830/Night%20Lords%20II/7e8aae30-ce93-4cfe-89d4-07e525ccd6d1_zpsf8590fde.jpg Nice little size comparison shot to see what a freaking beast he is: http://i1162.photobucket.com/albums/q532/mv8830/Night%20Lords%20II/fb317030-4a8b-40b6-8eba-5730d117a8ad_zps12f296ac.jpg AVE DOMINUS NOX svane jotunsbane, Hydra Dominatus, Midnightmare and 16 others 19 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ephrael Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I think that he looks good with the updated weapons and shoulder pad but it seems like a missed opportunity to make a completely new model for your Warlord. Have you considered making a new Hashec Tor in Cataphractii terminator armor or even the Praetor in terminator armor? I may be a little biased towards the 30K armor styles myself but nothing says "Veteran of the Long War" like Heresy era armor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flint13 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Sweet! Tor is looking awesome. Kage is right, it's always cool,to see an HQ with more diverse armament. Can't wait to read the story of how he ditches Nurgal for the Axewolf. That will be a great read, I'm sure ^_^ I love that chained pauldron, where is that from?

KrautScientist Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Well, I've always been an enormous fan of Terminator Hashec, as you know, so I am indeed pleased ;) It's also my pleasure to welcome your warlord to the Khornate workforce ;) The new weapons are looking great, although I do have one tiny nitpick: Due to the slightly changed pose, his chest area is looking a bit too narrow, if you ask me. Although that should be easy enough to rectify by adding a little something to the gaps between the torso and arms (small heraldic plates? More trophies?). Was the broken horn on his facemask an actual design decision, or rather a bit of "real battle damage"? In any case, good to have this big guy back! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolsavant Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I love that chained pauldron, where is that from? FW WE Terminator upgrade kit, I believe.

Brother Heinrich Posted October 30, 2014 Author Share Posted October 30, 2014 I love seeing HQ units with something other than a pistol for a ranged weapon. Agreed, If I could I would give all my HQ's heavy bolters. Beast is right! Holy skubalen. Thanks man! Glad to see the 15th is playing with blood again will his chosen be joining him? As a matter fact yes. I'm planning 8 Khorne Berzerkers I think that he looks good with the updated weapons and shoulder pad but it seems like a missed opportunity to make a completely new model for your Warlord. Have you considered making a new Hashec Tor in Cataphractii terminator armor or even the Praetor in terminator armor? I may be a little biased towards the 30K armor styles myself but nothing says "Veteran of the Long War" like Heresy era armor. I didn't want to do a new model entirely because 1) Greyall is drawing him as is, and I'd love to have the artwork match the mini, and 2) The core model was my original vision for Hashec. He was the first thing I pictured when I started this force. It's how I do all of my armies, I start with a vision of the commander, then the rest of the force becomes a reflection of his persona. Also despite my use of scattered bits of heresy armor, a full suit of Cataphractii warplate would not have made it through the legion wars and thousands of other conflicts to the 41st millennium intact. I know I could warp it and chaos-ify it, however that's not this warband. The 15th company are scavengers and opportunists with the best of the VIII Legion, but they do not shy from the powers of the Empyrean, they don't cling desperately to the relics of the past. They use what they can to fuel their ability to bring war to the Imperium, hence why Hashec's armor is made from pieces of Indomitus plate ripped from dead loyalists over the years. I really like the look of the Burning Brand. His right arm seems a tad small, however. Other than that, he looks awesome. -Tarvick Thanks, I think it's the angle as well because he's got his arm stretched back. I do plan on bulking it out a little with GS. Sweet! Tor is looking awesome. Kage is right, it's always cool,to see an HQ with more diverse armament. Can't wait to read the story of how he ditches Nurgal for the Axewolf. That will be a great read, I'm sure I love that chained pauldron, where is that from? Yeah hopefully you guys enjoy it. The pauldron is form the FW Khorne Terminator Shoulder pad set. Now, that's one hell of a beast. Must say I prefer this incarnation over the past ones. Awesome that's the response I was hoping for :) this thread is one of the inspirations for me starting my night lords awesome work dude! Thanks man, always happy to help inspire another VIII Legion Brother.

Was the broken horn on his facemask an actual design decision, or rather a bit of "real battle damage"? In any case, good to have this big guy back! I'll see if I can mock up some herldry-esque plates to cover the gap, though it may just be because I don't have paint on him yet and the arms stand out. Also the horn was a victim of my overzealous feline . I repainted it to make it look like battle damage. I love that chained pauldron, where is that from? FW WE Terminator upgrade kit, I believe.

Augustus b'Raass Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 (edited) Love the new wargear, Heinrich - Hashec has truly become the beast that his helmet alone portrays. Also - great, great work on the trim of the flamer - could you do a small tut on how you did that?

ephrael Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Thanks for answering my question with an excellent explanation Heinrich. I hadn't really thought about the idea that most of the traitor Legions would have to resort to scavenging wargear to replace their damaged and worn out original equipment. 10 thousand years is a long time to wage war after all. I've never built a 40K traitor marine army but when I do I'll keep your NL in mind. I like your method of building your force around its commander, I may try that with my 30K WB actually.

bloodhound23 Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Excellent update to what was an already awesome model. How do you plan on bulking out that gauntlet?

Brother Heinrich Posted October 31, 2014 Author Share Posted October 31, 2014 what will become of his 4 terminator body guard now? Probably continue to collect dust lol. I don't know, I may use them from time to time, but watching them get pulled to the ground by 20 cultists tends to sour my opinion on terminators quite quickly. Love the new wargear, Heinrich - Hashec has truly become the beast that his helmet alone portrays. Also - great, great work on the trim of the flamer - could you do a small tut on how you did that? Thanks man, I'll try to put up a tutorial one of these days when I get time for sure. Thanks for answering my question with an excellent explanation Heinrich.

I ask because I'm wondering if you'll keep the Chaos iconography. I assume it's the gauntlet from the Aspiring Champion? I'll probably just bulk out the upper arm portion seeing as I used the same gauntlet without modification in his previous incarnation. Also yes it's from the aspiring champion model.

Brother Heinrich Posted October 31, 2014 Author Share Posted October 31, 2014 Brief update. Got the metallics and the black done on the Landraider. Just have to do the parchment, skulls, freehand, OSL, weathering on the tracks and highlights... then she's done lol. http://i1162.photobucket.com/albums/q532/mv8830/Commissions/a025ac18-6fb6-4a4e-ae67-b681969c1614_zps4c5825c1.jpg Also I wasn't entirely happy with the super boxy look of the burning brand so I re-tooled it because Multi-melta's are cooler. If you guys couldn't tell by now I hate anything that looks bone stock in my Night Lords army, I've got to make everything a special little snowflake of death, that includes Hashec's Flamethrower (which will have a suitably awesome backstory don't worry). http://i1162.photobucket.com/albums/q532/mv8830/Night%20Lords%20II/10735983_10153295003948761_484486835_n_zps1b39b587.jpg Also here's the bulked out upper right arm that Bloodhound23 was asking about. http://i1162.photobucket.com/albums/q532/mv8830/Night%20Lords%20II/10735641_10153295003963761_733860897_n_zps60063ad9.jpg Let me know your thoughts, observations, or criticisms, they are always much appreciated!

I do miss the neat little edging around the barrel of the flamer, but other than that, I think I like the multi-melta better. And I always approve of axes. Good job so far!
