My Lord,

As per your orders I will hereby verify my army's current status, to account for the expediture of ammunition and armour, as well as to prove that my Cohort does not excede your demanded maximum.

 

over the coming weeks I shall transmit images as well as a short description of the shown units.

 

 

We bring the Night,

Captain Var'koth, Commanding, 8^th Cohort.

>> Transcript Ends<<

 

 

In this thread I will collect the progress of my Night Lords force, starting with my Call of Chaos vow of 1 Sorcerer, 1x6 Chosen and 1x5 Chosen. The army will primarily be made up of Forgeworld parts I happen to have lying around, though Shoulder pads, helmets and a few other parts will have to be bought later on. besides this I will add a BFG fleet to the Force, but more on that later.

 

Currently I have the first 6 Chosen, the Sorcerer and Captain Var'Koth (not a part of the Vow) ready for primer, just waiting for the weather to behave so I can get to work.

for some reason my previous photo site (photobucket) is no longer accepted here, any ideas for an alternative?

Bolter and Chainsword has it's own galleries that you can upload to straight from your PC.

Every member has one.

I'll just try again, this time with pictures

Sorcerer(still need some parts):

1st Chosen Squad (6 Marines):

Still working on Converting the remaining Chosen for the second squad, and hopefully I can prime sometime soon.

[Montuhotep]

Looking good - is the sorcerer one of the Reaver models from the SoH?

[Noctem Cultor]

Looks promising, interesting choice for the sorcerer I look forward to seeing him complete.

[Luther - the fallen]

thanks both of you, it's still early in the process.

 

As for the Sorcerer, I'm considering starting over and just use this guy for random Aspiring Champion.

If I start over It'll be robes and a "winged helmet", so I'm still arguing that in my head. Input would be appreciated.

 

the "Sorcerer" body is from the SoH Command set from FW, the Standard Bearer (another future conversion includes that banner ;) )

[Luther - the fallen]

Well, sort of changed the Sorcerer to something different, as the old one looked too plain, too much like a Sergeant.

Therefore I give you Sorcerer Mk II:

[Flint13]

Oh wow, the new sorcerer looks great!

 

Much better, and definitely stands out from the rest of the squad even if he doesn't have a psychic hood.

 

Only a teeny issue, the angle of his casting hand looks a little sharp. Kinda uncomfortable for his wrist ^_^

 

Other than that, looking aces. Keep it up!

[HellChyld]

Looking good Luther. Cant wait to see more.

[Luther - the fallen]

Update time!

First Chosen Squad slight change (different Champion):

Second Chosen Squad:

Tonight I'll do the bases, and then hopefully tomorrow I can prime and get ready for paints

- Luther

[GrandMagnus]

The apothecary in the first chosen squad is a nice touch

[Augustus b'Raass]

Nice chosen, man. I lov the mix of bits :tu:

[Luther - the fallen]

small update:

Though not really a part of the CoC Vow, here's a pic of Commander Var'Koth:

Also, all CoC Vow Marines have bases done now, and will be primed later today.

- Luther.

[Flint13]

Love him!

 

The quintessential Nostraman.

[Augustus b'Raass]

Ooooh very nice mate! Awesome. I really should get my hands on those SoH reavers...

[helterskelter]

Some really nice kit bashing going on here. Mr pointy finger is a winner

[Luther - the fallen]

@ Flint: Thanks, I'm quite happy with how he turned out myself :D

@ Augustus: actually, I never owned any Reaver bits ;) the parts are either SoH torsos or Commander ones.

anyway, I'm back with some paint test pics, please note that the gun isn't painted yet, and there's still time to tweak any minor issues. all CoC and the Commander are in first stages of blue right now, so expect more soon.

Here he is:

I'm not happy with the NL logo on the pad, so that'll be fixed.

Constructive comments and critique is most welcome.

- Luther

[Flint13]

Looking pretty darn good so far. Your lightning is even hella better than mine :p

 

Hmm for constructive crit, I think they could do with a slightly lighter highlight on the very tippy toppest edges and points. Dark blue tends to blend together with black, and those final bright edges give the eye something to pick out.

[Augustus b'Raass]

Yup! Looking good. I love the bright bone you used for the death mask. I'm with FLint on the highlights - but keep in mind my NLs are way brighter than everyone elses...

[Luther - the fallen]

Flint and Augustus, is this better? :P

[Flint13]

By leaps and bounds!

It even makes his midnight blue look even darker by contrast.

Awesome job!

[Throat]

Love what you have done to your Night Lords Luther looking great, I especially like the terror markings on the helmet wish I had as steady a hand to do such things. Look forward to seeing more

 

Throat

[HellChyld]

Looking good Luther making me wanna hurry when I shouldnt!!

[Augustus b'Raass]

Yeah much better man - wooo that is some fine lookin' midnight clad!

[Luther - the fallen]

Well, now that the colour scheme has been "approved" by Flint and Augustus ( :P ), I've begun painting the force.

So far, this is what I've got. (sorry for the picture quality)

these guys still need metals, the final highlight on blues, as well as the comlete deal on weapons and bases.
