Vengeance as Night Falls. Come Dawn ANOTHER Night Lords WIP

[Mechanist]

I really like the pose of the impaled guardsman terminator. looking away from what he's done in that kinda "What? Me?" both kids and animals do when you catch them doing something they shouldn't. Great stuff. 

[Chandrian]

Thanks guys! Glad you like it :) 

 

Started working on the next batch.  

 

Gold trim took awhile:

lovely conversions! the flails on the dread look cool!

a slight constructive tip for GS on the dragon would be to use a clay shaper to avoid those fingerprints, or if you don't have one, use a pen tip that ran out of paint and roll the surfaces to take off the fingerprints.
last case cenario, if you use your thumb, the last push on the GS, you lube your finger (i lick my sculpting tools, kinda gross but it works and papa nurgle likes it) and drag it sideways so the print doesn't stick to the GS!
i hope this helps

cheers, very good stuff

[Chandrian]

Thanks for the CC Peacecraft!  Always enjoy getting feeback .  Ya i was trying to put a thin layer of green stuff on there as "skin"; didn't go 100% as i planned it...then the finger prints...then i though, wait..maybe that looks cool? once it dried...i didn't have that thought anymore LOL.  Going to try and sand it/maybe an even thinner layer of green stuff but i will definitely try with some lube/oil on my fingers/sculpting tools! 

 

Yaa...i think in this hobby we've all "taste" what we've work with from time to time 

[Psykic_scribe]

Great to see an old metal dreadnought getting some limelight! 

 

FYI, if the GS has already dried with unwanted finger prints or tool marks, a little wash of Liquid Green Stuff might work. 

(It is about all LGS is good for, it's not good at filler for even small cracks.)

[Chandrian]

Scribe you Beautiful Genius!!!!!!   i completely forgot about liquid Green Stuff! I have it and will definitely give that a try over the finger prints . Thank you for suggesting it!!!!

Lovely conversion work in this blog!
The Terminators especially are very impressive.

[Chandrian]

@Markus  thanks man!

 

So finally got around to taking some pictures of more finished models

Really loved working on this guy and Dreadnoughts have always had a special place in my black heard <3.  En'dro finished i'm anxious to work on the B@C Contemptor i have!

 

 

Next up, these were the two marines i made after reading ADB's Betrayer.  While they don't hold a candle the the book, i'm pretty happy with them.

First up, Buraba Mainor

Here we have Placus Akenis of the XII Legion.  (i've got some lore for him squirreled away in my head for this guy. The short version is when Horus fell and the Traitor Legions were evacuating he jumped on a Night Lords Thunder Hawk and has been, has survived ever since.)

Nice work! I really like the style you have going and the amount of conversion work you put unto these guys. Big fan here! Will you add the lightning to the armor eventually? As well, what kind of HQ's do you use in game and what do they look like? I'm a sucker for hero models

[Chandrian]

@Terimus Wooot Thanks dude! Lightning...is something i would LIKE to do but...its doesn't turn out how i usually want it to. i've tested on some marines but for the most part i will be holding off until i can get it down!  HQ's, I have a Prince a few pages back i use, but the problem with GS conversions...is that some people have a hard time not converting everything... a blessing and a curse...I'm currently in that boat... so that Prince is now in..parts..for better or for worse! As for a Lord i usually sub something in...i haven't got around to building a Lord as yet. I had an old metal lord back in the day..but he's currently sitting in the same bit box as the Prince...

 

On with the show!!!!

I wanted this Mauler to look like he, with the other member of his pack, we hunting for tanks and sniffing out some tank treads.

 

Soo, really happy with the way this Mauler turned out! My base work needs a bit of improvement, and i need to remember to clean up the edges on the base for next time! Also might go back and make the stone look a little more dirty; not sure if the stone and mud collide to much and don't have a transition between the two.

No better way to follow a tank hunter then with a tank...

Need to find work on my weathering a little more...

Thanks for stopping by CC always welcome! 

[Daionosis]

Great job on the vehicles! Really inspires me to do something similar with my last maulerfiend.. Looks simple enough but really makes it an intense model. Also love the basing paints on the predator. 

 

One thing though, where's the lightning on the vehicles? That would really finish them in my opinion. Additionally, if you put in a lighter blue before the white lightning bolts, that would feel like they give of more light instead of just 'being there' if you know what I mean. I use kantor blue for the base, then make an outline of the bolt with caledor sky, then due the acutal bolt with teclis blue and then go over it with ulthuan grey a little thinner. If you want you could do a little bit of white where the lightning forks. Really works well in my opinion, and surprisingly easy to do since you don't actually have to be neat with it. 

[Psykic_scribe]

On this rare occasion, I would disagree on the lightning. The gold trim is strong and lightning would just be too much clutter. 

[Chandrian]

@Daionosis  Thanks! glad you like it all!  Lightning is currently not a friend of mine on models. i've tried on a few of my marines and its not my fav look. I'm currently on the fence of if i should keep trying or leave them without! Leaning closer to without hahaha!  i'll give your method a try though before i throw down the brush just yet!

 

 

@Psykic_scribe  True! might be a little to much for the Pred and all the gold! i'm working on a Rhino that wont have as much gold so i could try it out there as a test! 


So i've been really lazy to take pictures. I have a landrader full of models to photograph.... but...i'm Still trying to find that "right" style of how to take pictures and show off all my work. 
 

Finished up my Term Sorcerer, tired my hand at some wet blending, pretty happy with the wait it turned out!

 

Ar'keil Sorcerer Lord of the 41st Company:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have an idea for a display where Ar'keil is summoning more Khorne demons and others are helping out.  Don't have the space right now to house the scale i'm thinking about so this is all for now on his summons.!

 

I also wanted to give his Summoning Ritual some different aspect, a blood covered dagged, the traditional tools of the trade; but i also wanted to throw other items that could be used/stolen form other legions.  Space Wolves bones on a pelt, relics of an imperial saint a grimoire stolen from a T.son or WB. 

 

 

 

Figured i would keep the flame sword consistent with a second attempt on this guy: 

 

 

Might go back and fill the helm in with some glow, looks a little to dark to me! (thoughts?)

 

 

well, that all for now! CC always welcome!
