Aeternus Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Has anyone given Kheron Ophion a go yet? (Modelling wise) Also, is the aegis a shield or his armour, seem to get different answers from different people.

Deadman Wade Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I've been thinking about modelling Ophion since the day I got a book. There's a picture in 6th book - falling ship with cloaked astartes in a middle of a space battle. As I understand, it's Ophion, or at least, how I would imagine him. Model wise, I'm pretty sure it's terminator lord, So my idea is to take terminator lord's cloak, MK3 Praetor, cataphractii terminator axe and night raptor head. Maybe Praetor's armor is to ornate, since Ophion has only power armor, but that's what I'm going to try once I'll get all required bitz.

Deadman Wade Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 This one Sure, it's not much, but after seeing this I can't think of anything that suits his character better.

Balthamal Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Probably the most evocative artwork in the whole book.

ThatOneMarshal Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 What up murderers! So I'm still doing that medieval theme for my night lords and I've come across the perfect model for my commander, the Templars very own emperor Champion. He's got a very knightly feel to him and I think his armor matches what a Terran would wear. However he steel looks incredibly regal. Any ideas on how to make him more brutal?

Aeternus Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Having just painted one, I know what you mean about regal. My suggestions would be to switch the hand holding the sword for maybe holding a severed head or something like that, while then placing the sword (or other weapon) held down a bit in his other hand. Then see about somehow changing the design on the right pad, and then with a good paintjob he'd be brutal enough. Skull marking on the helmet. Maybe a trophy or other around the place. Edit, and maybe the wreath. Could work with, but could work without.

Psykic_scribe Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 @Kaldoth, After being immersed for a lifetime in mushroom culture, I really appreciated that one ! I was surprised to find that GW are still selling the Night Lords Hero in metal. Plenty of good detail, but oooh that FRUIT BAT on the head ! Still, it may come in useful for a large vehicle later. Hope my plasticard/GS solution works to general satisfaction - here is my starting point: Hidden Content I am planning a second Chosen squad (i.e. in addition to my Terror squad brought into 40K), and this Hero can be a good element. Here is the completion, with a cape of skins that caused me much aggrevation. Hidden Content On balance, I think that this marine is easier to work in metal than he would be in Finecast, as there are too many bits that could warp. Open to views on that too. I must find out how to post smaller photos - the gallery pictures were much better at hiding my sins than big magification on small models !

Soldier of Dorn Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Saw this on Facebook today and thought it might interest my VIII Legion brothers. A Night Lords Daemon Prince, courtesy of Games Workshop Málaga. I was thinking I might have to try and replicate it. It looks really cool, IMHO.

Aeternus Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Night Lords Daemon Prince?! Pah, weakling brother who fell to the temptations of the chaos gods and became their slave...

Kaldoth Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 The quality looks good, but am I the only one seeing ork heads when looking at the helmets? I don't see Ork heads, so much as another unfulfilled attempt to adapt bat physiology to power armored helm. Don't get me wrong, I like them better than the ghastly bat signal helmets GW has, but they're still not for me. The flayed skin bits are awesome, though :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/285762-the-murderers-call-a-night-lords-community/page/117/#findComment-4386131 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soldier of Dorn Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Can't really say that I'm a fan. The heads look really silly to me, and while the loincloths and shoulder things are nice, there's nothing really special to them. Not something I could see myself buying, at any rate.

Aeternus Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 I think I'll pick up the trophies for uniqueness, and cos they are quite nice and moulded for PA, but the heads I'm less keen on. I'll probably grab a pack for variety, but I prefer FW ones. Edit. If anyone wants them though, only 1 of each of the cloths and 2 head packs left seemingly. I plan to find out where he's selling that halfcloak on the painted guy on his facebook page though...

KrautScientist Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 I think the first, third and fifth heads from the left are excellent, while the other two are pretty terrible -- if you need to stretch the anatomy of a skull so far that it ends up looking silly, you know your helmet's not gonna support that design choice ;) But these are definitely a nice alternative/addition to GW's official conversion kits.
