30k - Night Lords


Recommended Posts

@Armond: What forte said. The teeth are so small, sometimes I dont see what I paint so I have to take a picture of the helmet to see whats going on.

 

@kizzdougs: The Cataphractii will come!

 

@forte: Yes, the grills are filled, based on this.

I already shared the colors for the blue and terror markings, the red is khorne red, carroburg crimson, mephiston red. The edge highlight is mephiston mixed with eldar flesh.

 

I always start with the mid tone, kantor, khorne red, dawnstone. Then using a wet palette I blend the shade, going back and forth with the 2 colors. I keep the shade and highlight colors diluted, almost like a wash. I am photographing the models on another apartment so a step by step is tricky at the moment. Hope this helps!

 

@Olisredan: I ll see what i can do! :D

You used the magic words. Wet pallet.

 

So you're glazing your shadows and highlights. Can I recommend Vallejo Glaze Medium. Makes Lamian Medium seem like water. It thins the paint really well without losing pigmentation and it slows the drying time too.

Thanks for the comments guys.

 

@forte: I have it and I agree it's one of the best out there. I'm not using any thinners on the NL tho, just water.

 

The Sinner's Red looks good, brother. Do you have enough for squad photo yet?

!!

I figured it out! The terror markings on the helmets reminded me of "steampunk willy" from sinister dexter, and the bare head is either from spawn or one of khonsou's guises in moon knight. Was bugging me bug time :p excellent models, will probably quit painting Night Lords beacuse these are so good, they should be illegal :D

Thanks for the comments!

 

I did some touch ups here and there, the lightning was changed on this one to match the rest.

C&C Welcome!

The Flaymaster is brilliant! The 'Joker-esque' scaring is really well done and the red gauntlets look excellent with the dark blue armour.

 

The only thing I'm not sure about is the skin tone. He looks a little too healthy for a NL.

 

Can't wait for more :) 

@Squeaky: Thanks!!

@kizzdougs: The skin is pale for my standards!

@Pyromancer: I can't take credit for the name, Llansahai is a character from Massacre. I must finish the terror squad before anything else.

Tovac Tor, a character from The prince of Crows, had the epithet ''Lackhand'' because he was born with only one hand. In my version, Llansahai earned his epithet ''the smiling one'' from a scar.

Why so serious? msn-wink.gif

Awesome model and paint job. I'm just wondering, why do you give your Night Lords iron coloured trimmings? I thought they were supposed to have brass trim.

More an Iron colour in the Forge World Horus Heresy books. And it works too.
