JSlade Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 So, it's been awhile since I've had any updates. I fell out of the hobby for many years. Picked it up for a sprint last year for just long enough to buy a bunch of stuff. Now much of it is put together, and I'm relearning how to paint. This weekend, I did some stuff. I'm obviously going for spaeeescevampires! but, I noticed early on, a little goes a long, long way. So, now they just... look marginally renegade. I'm okay with that. I hope you are too. Hah. First: My first DC. Testing out the color scheme. Obviously I used the Night Lord Raptors. I really need to get better at thin lines for highlighting. Bought a Knight. I play a lot of Orks. 3 of the 6 players of our regular group play Orks. So I needed some Dakka, and a Baal Predator just wasn't enough. Introducing: Batknight.

Bjorn Firewalker Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Impressive work, overall. Where did you get the Batknight's head? From a 'Warhammer Fantasy Battle' Vampire Counts model? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halandaar Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Impressive work, overall. Where did you get the Batknight's head? From a 'Warhammer Fantasy Battle' Vampire Counts model? Looks like the head from a Mortarch mount (I forget their name) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Both looking ace! Head is very unique for a knight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSlade Posted November 15, 2015 Author Share Posted November 15, 2015 Exactly, the bat head came from that god awful expensive 3 in 1 mount from end times. Bought it for bits. Great selection of skulls and skull related stuff. So, yeah! That's the head. I wanted the knight to, look like a member of the possibly renegade Succrssor chapter. Which, I just ripped off all flesh tearer colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evildrcheese Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Cool stuff. I must say I was confused when I saw a Night Lord, but I see where you're going with this. Looking good. EDC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSlade Posted November 30, 2015 Author Share Posted November 30, 2015 Spent today working on my Death Company. I think they look properly villainous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 They are terrifying. You should be proud. Maybe you have the wrong force of Marines though? Seems you should be playing heresy NL :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSlade Posted November 30, 2015 Author Share Posted November 30, 2015 Charlo, haha. Thank you. I started with my chapter of making "space vampires", and found out quick, a little bit goes a long way. It can get real novelty, real quick. But using some actual marines, like these guys, can achieve the affect without getting hokey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjorn Firewalker Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Impressive work. I can imagine the following scene in every field your Marines face the enemy. Night Lord (storms the Imperial trenches): "We bring the...!" Night Lord (falls to his knees, terrified as a Blood Dragon nears his position): "Mommy." Night Lord (curls into the fetal position, insensate as the Blood Dragon slaughters the Night Lords around him): "Mommy, Mommy, Mommy, Mommy..."

Boudan Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Cool stuff. I don't think the iconography is inherently out of place. The earlier artwork of 40K was grim... and dark. Almost grimdark? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSlade Posted November 30, 2015 Author Share Posted November 30, 2015 Here is my "counts as" Dante. A lot of work to go. But this is what I got at quitting point tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjorn Firewalker Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 The fact the helmet completely hides the Chapter Master's head, made me think of Pyramid Head from the 'Silent Hill' video games. Was this intentional? (An enemy whose emotions I cannot read, e.g., via facial expressions, can be intimidating.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedemptionNL Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 There's no head/helmet at all Bjorn. Nice conversions JSlade! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSlade Posted November 30, 2015 Author Share Posted November 30, 2015 I see that the stuff I've uploaded looks fairly heretical. So I'll post some stuff that hopefully avoids the Inquisition. Like I've said above, trying to avoid the Novelty vampire army. With Brides of Dracula riding on Stormraven's etc. Vanguard Vets. I made my own wing helms, because I thought the Blood Knights from Fantasy were so stupidly expensive. I bought a box last week, of those blood knights, and it was the worst moulded resin thing I've ever seen. $80, and almost totally useless. Sanguinary Priest. Pretty much done. From Left to right: Chaplain in Termie, Mephiston, and Astorath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Awesome use of that FW model! There are like Fleshtearers turned up to 11. So cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjorn Firewalker Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 There are like Fleshtearers turned up to 11. So cool. Only to 11? On a scale of one-to-ten, I say it's turned up to 19. Blood Dragon: "Kneel before me, Night Lord!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quixus Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 They look great, if a bit Night Lord-y. I love the Bat-Knight. Where's the blade of the Sanguinary Priest's sword from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicodemus Doloroso Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Awesome use of that FW model! There are like Fleshtearers turned up to 11. So cool. I'd say they're more like Flesh-Tearers turned up to 19. Excellent work. Very grim-dark and vampirey without being too over-the-top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
