Wyvern Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Ave Dominus Nox Hail The Lord Of The Night Hail brothers and sisters!! Welcome to my WIP log for my version of the 10th company of the Night Lords. Obviously you've all guessed this is gonna be inspired by (ripped off of lol) ADB's awesome Night Lords trilogy but i'd hopefully be able to pay respect to those awesome books by converting and painting every named member of 10th company eventually building on that to have a fully function company of the legion astartes. I shall begin rather blatantly with First Claw but it might not be the first claw you'll all be used to... for it shall be a pre siege force. so there'll be no Uzas, Mercution, Ademar or Variel BUT there will be Ruven, Sar Zall and of course a pre-mutation SGT Vandred. Building from there I'll probably do the Warsage Followed by the rest of the claws maybe even in numerical order There will be various visitors to 10th company from out side including this cheeky chappy the Night Haunter himself http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i398/Jay_Leslie/006-6.jpg PIP pics of the big guys can be found in last months casual hobby challenge. So i think thats enough rambling from me so on to the WIP a very early WIP on rather predictably Talos Valcoran designation 1-02-10 Apothecary of First Claw http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i398/Jay_Leslie/003-12.jpg Cheers Wyv Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302863-x-company-viii-legion-wyvs-wip-first-claw-update/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flint13 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Wow, that dark iron look is a lot different from the bronze/brass, but it's hella pretty. Great job wyvern!

Wyvern Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share Posted February 2, 2015 Cheers all @ M'Lady Flint yeah cheers never really pictured Kurze to be all blingy like his preening brothers (apart from grand pappy Dorn who im sure was gold for function rather than flair lol) so im pretty happy with how the iron came out, its the scheme im using for all my night lords so hopefully will lead to a coherent force. no update so far today guys :( my E-bay fu seems to have deserted me so may have to put talos on hold till i can get to grips on a MK4 nethacarium, the MK7 ive got from the GW command squad is just too bulky for what i want to do with him..... So on to the Warsage instead :) im unsure whether to do him in his pose at the siege as depicted on his sarcophagus or go for sutin a lil more original. any opinions would be awesome guys :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302863-x-company-viii-legion-wyvs-wip-first-claw-update/#findComment-3938380 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augustus b'Raass Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Yes! So happy you started a WIP log mate! That curze is looking pretty darn sweet! :tu: Love that you took the nontraditional route and went for iron instead of bronze/gold. Looks fab!

Wyvern Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share Posted February 2, 2015 cheers Augustus So i have a possible WIP for you all.... or it could just be a sidelined idea that shall never be spoken of again lol the decision is yours brethren... and sisteren? lol heres my very rough first idea for the Warsage if i decide i like the base model ill shave the "feathers?" from the chest plate and prolly come up with something suitably night lordy so here he is guys lemme know what if anything u'd keep what should change or if i should just scrap it entirely lol http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i398/Jay_Leslie/003-13.jpg and coz i was bored decided to give him some red bull.... get it get it?........ ill show my self out http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i398/Jay_Leslie/002-13.jpg Cheers Wyv Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302863-x-company-viii-legion-wyvs-wip-first-claw-update/#findComment-3938533 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augustus b'Raass Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I like this idea - actually I really like it and think you should definitely embark on it - but you need to make sure the head really fits in the neck-fitting (?). Right now, the head seems to 'float' above the neck, whereas the intent of the body is that the grill of the helmet is slightly obscured by the neck cover. If you can make that work (perhaps it's an easy fix, but perhaps it requires some shaving off of the back part of the helmet) it'd be great. Greenstuff the batwings to the helmet and you're pretty much golden from there - unless you really would like to shave off those 'feathers' and greenstuff some true batwings - also not too difficult with the right tools (rubber brushes). Looking forward to how this goes!

Wyvern Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share Posted February 2, 2015 yeah totally bud its all just blu-tac'd together atm, didnt really wanna cut too deep into the helm incase i didnt like it. I am definitely leaning towards using this set up, it isn't a hard job to make the helm fit right at all. It sits lower without the blu-tac anyway so it'll just be a case of shaving in inside of the gorget very slightly and a lil bit off the crest at the back of the head, but if i go with adding some wings to it most if not all of the crest will be come off anyway. Cheers for the advice buddy it really is growing on me the more i look at it *edit: i say bud/buddy way too much lol Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302863-x-company-viii-legion-wyvs-wip-first-claw-update/#findComment-3938582 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noctem Cultor Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Looking good there with the Night Haunter and Warsage. All id add to the Warsage is oath and honour seals. Question did Talos rock an Aquila chest piece when Night Haunter and the Warsage were still breathing air? (I remember a quote about only the Emperors Children doing so at that point) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302863-x-company-viii-legion-wyvs-wip-first-claw-update/#findComment-3938650 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyvern Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share Posted February 2, 2015 Im not entirely sure, it doesn't really mention if he did or didnt during the heresy i jus thought it'd be a cool nod to his 40k days if he stole an emps child breast plate from istvaan and repainted it, planing on having the old colours showing through with battle damage. Id like to think the haunter would find it quite amusing lol Cool idea with the oaths of moment bud, cheers for that :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302863-x-company-viii-legion-wyvs-wip-first-claw-update/#findComment-3938659 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flint13 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Ah, see I had a recent bit of schooling on this subject. Heresy era, the III Legion were the only one of the eighteen that were allowed to display the Palantine eagle as a sign of the Emperor's favor and was considered his personal symbol. The Imperial eagle, on the other hand, was a service reward for any legionnaire and represented the entirety of the Imperium. That being said, I believe (as in, don't quote me on it, but I'm decently sure) Talos's ritually broken Aquila breastplate was supposed to be from a Salamander stolen approximately M38. Either way, awesome conversion! I love the ceremonial Night Lord honor helms when they don't look over the top. Great job!

Wyvern Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share Posted February 2, 2015 If thats the case talos goes through 3 different broken aquilla breast plates over the course of the trillogy... So very wasteful lol IIRC when he's "visited" by fragments of the chaos gods 1 of them is wearing his scavenged armour but unpainted and i think (read hope im remembering right) the chest plate was from an ultrasmurf and when the covenant was boarded by the blood angels (the bit where malcharion kills the blood angels dread for a second time) he claims a bloods angels top to replace his damaged armour. So basically i have no idea if he'd have done it during the heresy but sounds increasingly like he wouldnt have done. Drat lol wheres ADB when ya need him eh? Lol Thnx for the imput and compliments my princess of crows hehe Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302863-x-company-viii-legion-wyvs-wip-first-claw-update/#findComment-3938751 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyvern Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 Hail brothers and sisters!! not much of an update today other than grumbling about the randomness of my various bits orders turning up lol so as of now i have: 95% of the bits needed to finish Malcharion 85% of the bits for Xarl 60ish% of the bits needed for Talos 50% for Sar Zell 50% for Mercution 20% for Ruven 65ish% for Malek and nothing really for Vandred Cyrion and Uzas i think im almost there, i know they were described as wearing MK2 and MK3 helms respectively..... but i cant remember which was which n i have lost the notes i made last time i read through the trilogy lol and if i may brothers and sister a quick question for any of you fluff masters within our murderous ranks. Ruven.... as my army is based "around" the siege (just before up to the scouring) asaik the Haunter detests psykers so i dont think Ruven would be all overtly sorcerer..y but i dont just want to model him as another line grunt. My initial idea was to give him a standard load out but strap a force staff to his back, anybody tried anything similar or have any other idea they think could work? and lastly what would an update be without pictures!!! this pile of random resin in various colours/ states is the current progress of the Warsage lol http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i398/Jay_Leslie/003-14.jpg Ave Dominus Nox Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302863-x-company-viii-legion-wyvs-wip-first-claw-update/#findComment-3940319 Share on other sites More sharing options...
