Thanks for your replies guys!
They were really nice and helped a lot to solve my doubts!

[Captain Incompetence]

If you have an airbrush, spray a really dark blue, then use a translucent ultramarine blue sort of colour - maybe with a little bit of grey added - as a subtle zenithal highlight. I much prefer this kind of subtle look to the GW style when it comes to NLs.

 

That's a really good model. What paints in particular did you use for this scheme?

Looks like our favourite Legion is getting featured in an official Warhammer animation!

 

[Aztek]

We've hit the big time baby! Time to see two of my favorite Legions/chapters duke it out! Helmet on the guy on the right is freaking rad.

 

edit- Looks like the Night Lords are anime style/cartoon style compared to the CGI of Angels of Death, so a different series I guess. Still cool!

Judging on the footage, it looks like the "Throne of Lies" Short Story! It's the only time we read about first claw with jump packs.

[Master Umbra]

Hi!
 

Judging on the footage, it looks like the "Throne of Lies" Short Story! It's the only time we read about first claw with jump packs.

That was my impression as well:

- Callidus assassin: check
- Nostraman rune in helmet and defiled Aquila: check
- Mark III helmet, chainsword and axe: check
- Long chainsword and winged helm: check
- Jumpacks: check

I wonder if the animation will be as R-rated as Netflix Castlevania (one can only hope)! The art style looks similar at least.

So i've been looking at our F&F stuff, plus the points drops we've gotten in the latest CA 2019 (You can find a screenshot of the new points page

).

 

I've been thinking of how I can run my NL's army. This is the list i've come up with:

 

Night Lords 2000

 

Battalion: (Host Raptorial)

Chaos Lord - JP, Black Hunt, MoK, One Piece - 103

Sorc - JP, FSword, Death Hex, Prescience, Tip of the Claw - 116

Cultists - 10 man - 40

Cultists - 10 man - 40

Cultists - 10 man - 40

Raptors - 5 man - MoN, IoD, PFist/Combi-plas, 2 Plasmagun - 127

Raptors - 5 man - MoN, IoD, PFist/Combi-melta, 2 Meltagun - 137

Warptalon - 9 man - MoK - 171

Rhino - 2 CB - 69

- 843

 

 

Spearhead:

DP - Wings, Rapacious Talons, MoS, Warp Bolter, - Delightful, Warptime - 168

Havocs - 5 man - MoS, 4 Lascannons - 172

Havocs - 5 man - MoS, 4 Autocannons - 112

Oblits - 3 man - MoS - 285

- 737

 

 

Air Wing:

Heldrake - Baleflamer - 140

Heldrake - Baleflamer - 140

Heldrake - Baleflamer - 140

- 420

 

 

Total: 2000

Starting CPs: 10-3= 7

 

The idea is to have Havocs deploy on the ground, in the Rhino, tucked away in my backfield. When my turn 1 starts, i can disembark either of the havoc squads and/or move the other havoc squad to cap objectives.

The cultists will be used primarily for screening and for objective grabbing.

The triple heldrakes, are meant to serve as both distraction carnifex and also screen clearers. They will also escort the DP forward.

Lord, Sorc, Raptors and Warptalons waiting in reserve for mop up duty

Oblits are also held in reserve waiting to pop out and hit a target that absolutely needs to die.

 

What do you guys think?

I think I'm onto something for the Berzerkers I'm making for my Night Lords:

 

Not a fan of those old, goofy bat-winged helmets at all for my Chaos Marines..... But on Berzerkers.... It gives them the silhouette of the Khorne Berzerker's caedere remissum helmets without actually using said helmets.

I think I've figured it out!

Looking good, and yeah, Zerks are maybe the one unit where the big hats make sense. Also, for dudes this crazy and this lost to violence, might red "sinner's gauntlets" be in order?

Yup. Gonna have the Sinner's Red on all my Berzerkers.

 

In fact: The bat helmets will have the same red as the gauntlets (gonna be Khorne Red) unlike the red I usually use on my Night Lords (which is Mephiston Red).

[MegaVolt87]

Burnished metallics for the bat wings would look great with that.

Nice. So with the hands, you'll have a rough equivalent to the Remissum helmets' original purpose, too. 

[Aztek]

Very cool! 

 

With all the new Road to Thramas news for 30k, I now know how badly I need Atramentar models. I already own Night Lord Terminators but I'd replace them in a second for  badass custom Night Lord Terminator unit sculpts. 

[Celtic_cauldron]

Nice Sons of the VIIIth, Gederas. They may have been even better with the version by FW but your work is already looking excellent.

You mean the heads from the Night Raptors yeah? I'm going to use those on unit champions and characters.

[Captain Incompetence]

Speaking of Night Raptors, how many heads do those models come with? Just the 5 or more?

[Celtic_cauldron]

Yes, just five of them.

 

@Gederas: that was my point indeed.

[Gederas]

@Gederas: that was my point indeed.

Having looked at it, I'll probably end up using those heads once I get them (my plan is to get enough of the Night Raptors to do between 2 and 3 squads of Raptors that are 10-strong), as I'll put the plastic Raptor heads on them.

 

Also: Another 6 Chaos Marines finished:

[nusphigor]

Hello guys.
I ended up switching the alphas for night lords.
Here is a pic of a chaos lord i wanted to share with you

Maybe you guys have any tips on how to do the skull on the helmet a bit better?

 

Cheers!

[Gederas]

Make the terror marking on the helmet brighter? That looks like a very dark brown, it should be closer to off-white/bone white.

 

Model looks good so far though! :tu:

[Gederas]

Today was a hobby milestone:

 

Had a game where every single model I had on the field was fully painted. That felt REALLY good.

 

I lost, but damn did I look good doing it :lol:

[Gederas]

Triple post, but:

 

Turns out, the old Night Lords upgrade sprue helmets work perfectly fine for Berzerkers (Berzerker 10 is headless because due to his pose, I need to paint his head separately)

[Khornestar]

Could you take a close-up of that winged lord? Was thinking of using those wings, and seeing how good yours looks makes me want to see it closer up if you wouldn't mind.

That is a really awesome looking conversion!
