++ The Murderers' Call - A Night Lords Community ++

[incinerator950]

I only have the horns from the raptor head just in case I include the CS upgrade. Personally I am not including a majority of the horned, bat, or spikey helmets for that very reason.

 

Although my Warlord is using the talon possessed backpack. I have to thank deadspace for that mess.

[Chaeron]

He looks great - don't forget those service studs!

[xxoblivionxx33]

Thanks for the kind words, I was really apprehensive about posting him up,

 

@augustus, its really quite simple, I start with a 3-1 army painter deep blue and abaddon black. Then I edge pure deep blue. Wash with drakenhoff( watered down a bit) and then nuln oil (also watered down) . then I edge with deep blue, army painter electric blue and a 2-1 electric blue and white

I reaallly reaaallly would murder for a face tutorial oblivion! It should be also noted it was quite hard not to just put murderface

[Augustus b'Raass]

Im at work right now, (shhh dont tell anyone) ,

when im home ill do a face tutorial up, it was SUPPPERRR easy, and i was hmming and hawing if it was going to turn out and it came out exactly how i wanted it to. Im glad you guys like this!

[helterskelter]

To be a right pest, due to my last face being sheer luck than judgement, could it be a step by painstaking step photo tute? Pretty please with powdered swords on top? Cmooonnn i'll stab/bludgeon your enemies.

[Noctem Cultor]

Fear of not being able to replicate my Praetor Lords face colouring well has led me to limiting my unhelmed Legionaries.

[xxoblivionxx33]

So the Skin was very simple. First I based in rakarth flesh. A ton of thin layers. Its very important here to get a nice even smooth coat. Then I used druchi violet wash in a 2 to 1 with lahmian medium. I did a very like all over glaze of just the face. Then when I saw the detail I lined the recesses. I then reclaimed the high features with rakarth. Just one light coat and then a 2 to 1 of rakarth and white on only the points I wanted to pop. And then I did a 1 to 1 of rakarth and white . on just the peak points of those details. And then a 2 to 1 of nuln oil and lahmian medium in the eye cavety to give it that deep dark look.

[Augustus b'Raass]

Awesome! Thanks a ton!

 

Flint, could you put that there tut on the first post? Cuz i have the feeling this is the night lords face tutorial we've all been waiting for.

[xxoblivionxx33]

I'm really honored to have you guys think its that good. I appreciate it

[Noctem Cultor]

Wow I did a very similar colour range just not as detailed with the layers. Thanks for this I will be using it and hopefully redoing my Lord at some point with your flesh tutorial.

[helterskelter]

Ladies and germs of the night, would it be incomprehensible if we were to compile a series labelled "a beginners guide to night lords" we have so many members, with so many different techniques in various areas it would be rude not to share. Most of it is probably cross board stuff, but let me waffle further: for example one post could be a flint tute on her ability to do shiny faces ala the scary thalax or her highlighting. Another could be Augustus showing a how to conversion on another new beastie and so on. I'm aware we all have our own WIP's and the odd share on here, but i think our little community would benefit from a centralised gallery of creativity, akin to what we have here for our generic discussions. What say you my fellow killers?

[Noctem Cultor]

I agree with Helterskelter, the odd tutorial here and there is okay but a list taken perhaps from requested Night Lords would be awesome.

 

Maybe put into one living tutorial thread: How to create the Perfect Murder.

Also id like a thread combining images showing unique or just great lookin Night Lords to inspire other users and give new ideas.

[xxoblivionxx33]

thirded.

[Flint13]

Well, we do have a gallery for completed work in the Night Lords' gallery already.

Just been rather remiss in updating it. Brother Heinrich and I are still tied in number of likes, which irks me to no end :D

 

As for the tutorials, I've been updating the first post with them so far.

Awesome, Can we get the Gallery link put into the first post here also?

 

On another note I managed to stick to my goal for my week off (not bad seeing as we are only on Tuesday)

I am really hyped about how well these guys came out and hope my painting momentum keeps going.

Let me know what you guys think!

I will have better lit photographs uploaded in the next 5 minutes, due to the lateness of the photographs they were lit up too well giving them a brighter than they are look. The skin is mainly Cadian Flesh tone as they will be my current victims fluff wise and more graphic trophies of them to come in the future. Thanks for the kind words!

I do want to find out how Lord Curze gets back and what is the last known fate of Sevatar. I think ill buy that ebook now...

 

Bought and read.

 

Okay for a Short this is actually very cool it introduces a few cool things and sets up the Primarchless/1st Captainless Night Lords interaction which of course is now very standard and alot less organised.

So if you want grump Night Lords, Interaction between two very different Night Lord Blood Brothers and a peak at possibly the next action the NL take in the HH id recommend it.

 

For those wanting a breakdown spoiler:

A Safe And Shadowed Place by Guy Haley

 

We start on board the Ship Umber Prince of Skraivok the Painted Count.

Left floating in a blind spot in the Ultramar systems borders his ship is crippled after the Dark Angels attack. Skraivok is left by two remaining ships 3 days before his ship should be able to limp away.

 

He mentions wondering what happened to Lord Curze (maybe a precurser).

After more banter with a Slave about needing the ship to fixed we experience a Light Pulse or Beacon nicknamed the Sotha Anomaly.

 

Skraivok then says they must get ready to leave and to steal any slaves they can from the dead ships so they can refill their ranks. He also wants to know where Kellendvar his Headsman is.

 

After a bit of torture Kellendvar is found to be looking for his blood brother and we find him aboard one of the broken dead ships torturing serfs muttering about how its all over and the Legion are becoming gangs again reverting to type (sounds familiar). After a fight which ends up with Kellendvars brother Kellenkir being dragged back and chained to a post.

 

We get a visit by Lord of the Kyroptera Krukesh The Pale 103rd Captain and his fleet who has come to find out about this beacon. After alot of power play that ends up with Skraivok bowing to Krukesh the beacon stop and the light stays.

Krukesh says:

‘Well, well, well,’ said Krukesh. ‘That, if I am not mistaken, is Macragge.’ His spread fingers held up before him cast a hard black shadow across his face. ‘How very interesting.’

And then orderes 'Prepare the Fleet; and of to investigate the system they go!

 

Actually a very awesome NL story as it has some nice interaction between NL that I haven't seen for a while since the Banter of 1st Claw.

[helterskelter]

Yeah, it's a good little set up novellaette

[Noctem Cultor]

I'm surprised we haven't got an eta on Forgeworld releasing Sevatar yet of the back of Night Haunters release. No rumours or anything just Dreadnought chat.

[Slips]

We'll probably see his finished/near finished sculpt on display at the Weekender in Feb. Maybe he'll be released along side Alexis Polux at the Show then 1-2 weeks later for us who could not attentd?
