To echo others..the contemptor is the nuts mate!

In my opinion its one of the best Night Lords dreads on the web!

Just the right amount of horror on it without going silly..and topped off with a sweet paintjob

Keep it up mate as great to see more from you

[Brother Martemis]

Keep looking at those raptors on FW, saw the word chain glaive. And wanted, completely ignoring the fact I have tau, blood ravens, iron warriors; and now guard on the go, almost... Managed to resist so far. Got a feeling when yours are painted though...

[Augustus b'Raass]

It begins....

 

The raptors are half way half way done. Meaning the first five stand in midnight clad, but no gold, metal, red or bone. Updates coming soon.

 

I couldn't resist starting the next project while I wait for the FW NL torso's for the next batch of five...

 

Had this baby laying on a shelf for over a year now. I got him from a mate in exchange for building and painting two Lucius Pattern warhound titans for him. Not sure what colour he'll be yet. I want him to be distinct from my Night Lords army, but still visually compatible with them. Any ideas?

Washed and ready for... well, what comes after.

Oh and to make this Warhound fit into Bolter& Chainsword, I'll pose and base him so that he'll be crushing an Ultramarines Dreadnought (nice tie-in colour with my Night Lords).

Uh... Wow. The level of anticipation I'm feeling for this project just tripled. I cannot wait to see what you do with that beast. Had it sitting on your shelf for a year? Man...

[MrBear]

This will be... interesting. Very interesting for sure.

When it comes to the colour you could always go for the Legio Tempestor if you want them to really match your Night Lords. The Legio Fureans have pretty nice colours aswell but they might clash quite a bit with the midnight blue of the Eight.

I'd vote for the Fureans, actually. The golden yellow is great complement to the dark blue. Depends if you want them actually matching, or looking good next to your boys. 

[Brother Heinrich]

Dammit, you're making the 15th Company look like a bunch of vagabonds lol. Looking forward to seeing this bad boy done up man.

Vow edited b/c I had to take out 1 unit of termies. It was in too advanced state of painting. Also after consideration with Semper I deleted the contemptor from the vow and added an extra raptor and a raptor lord.

 

 

Uh... Wow. The level of anticipation I'm feeling for this project just tripled. I cannot wait to see what you do with that beast. Had it sitting on your shelf for a year? Man...

Haha man, I hope it's doubled now that my ETL III vow is up.

 

This will be... interesting. Very interesting for sure.

When it comes to the colour you could always go for the Legio Tempestor if you want them to really match your Night Lords. The Legio Fureans have pretty nice colours aswell but they might clash quite a bit with the midnight blue of the Eight.

Yeah I'm thinking of a brownish green... Cheers for the links though. They will be helpful!

Thanks for the feedback but I detest painting yellow... I might go for red if the brownish green doesn't work out.

You should not complain. The level of skill, dedication and awesomesauce you put in the 15th is an inspiration to me and to us all.

Cheers mate! Glad you like it. Welcome anytime of course :-)

That is actually what I'm going to aim for. Unfortunately I am leaning towards faded brownish green...

[Brother Heinrich]

EXCELLENT.

[Flint13]

I approve of any and all Night Lord terminators. 

 

Do us proud, buddy!

 

('cause we're waiting with knives if you don't  )

[Forté]

What colours you going to do the Titan?

[Dragonkin Arenis]

My jaw dropped when I saw how many pieces make up that Warhound. I'm just glad I'm not the one building that beast!

 

If you want more of a red scheme whilst staying (somewhat) true to a Titan Legion, the Legio Magna or Legio Interfector might be better choices. However, the Legio Ulricon have no scheme on record, which opens you up to make one up, AND the Titan Legion served alongside the Night Lords during the Thramas Crusade, losing their flagship and many Titans in the process. In my opinion, if you want a Titan that is fluffy and allows you to experiment a little with the colour scheme, a lone member of the Legio Ulricon is the way to go :)

 

Looking forward to seeing you complete that pile of murdering heathens :)

[Skrundle87]

That is one cool looking contemptor

[daemonclaw]

that contemptor means business very nice work sir.and good luck with the titan ,remember to seriously thoroughly wash it to get the release agent off and prime it with a good primer . i used a plasticoat product on mine as i found the gw blackspray shaled off the model making me have to repaint it

Bring it! What's you vow, Flint? I haven't seen yours.

 

What colours you going to do the Titan?

I think after Dragonkin's message below, a faded blue with dark-bone squares.

Herewith, I present you with an award of 1500 internets for this idea. I have been toying around with the idea of a faded blue (similar to my plague marines) -perhaps offset with brownish bone- and golden trim, and you just made it possible. The Legio Ulricon it shall be. In your honour, the last titan's princeps shall be named Arenis.

It has been thoroughly cleaned. I was planning to use GW primer, but you say there's a better one. Could you maybe post a link to the product you are referring to?

[daemonclaw]

i am sure the primer is called plasti-kote primer ,i got it from a local carbody paint shop after losing big chunks of paint and was told the primer seals the whole area making a great base,mine was done a few years ago and is still in one piece.

[Barabbas Sogalon]

Wow, that Warhound has a lot of parts.

 

I bet we will see a lot of organic decorations on it.

[Forté]

That is going to look amazing

[chaplain mortis]

You certainly went all out on your first vow! Shame your night lords were not the variety from 10000 years ago, you could have pledged for the heresy forum haha

 

The primer your looking for is called Plasti-kote..it worked for Daemonclaws titan and that bugger must be ten yrs old!

 

Good luck with your vow and will be keeping an eager eye on this thread

[Augustus b'Raass]

OK guys, here is my first update.

 

I'd like some feedback on the prospective colour scheme I'll be using for my warhound. Remember, I'm looking for a colour scheme that is not the same as, but complements my Night Lords. I made some testers. Which one do you think looks the best?

Thanks! That helps. I'll see if I can get my hands on some.

Everey feet from the ankel down has 34 parts! I'm going to decoraty the :cuss out of it. Body parts, skulls, marines, etc.

 

That is going to look amazing

[Combat_Vet]

Although all the test colors would look great, I think the green would seriously just counter the NL blue too much. The yellow would look great as would the blue and bone scheme.

 

I will be starting my raptors tomorrow so I'll be checking back here for inspiration (ie - ideas to steal :) )

[Dragonkin Arenis]

I might be biased, but I like the blue/bone look
