The_Gorgon Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 So yeah whilst trying to make my Raven guard into terror inducing force my fiancée pointed out that I may as well stop messing about and do night lords. So with that in mind I present my calth dreadnought he has the sinners marks and some nice trophies. However he is a very wip model really just a test scheme but will be polished up in time http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h308/dolfanuk/Mobile%20Uploads/2015-12/EB877475-9FC9-49DC-A1FD-431E08A18B63.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/316831-night-falls-a-night-lords-wip/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flint13 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Sounds like a smart fiancé, Ravenguard are indeed kinda like Night Lords that are just messing about :D He dread looks like he's off to a good start! Did you want a few things to aim for on improving him? ^_^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/316831-night-falls-a-night-lords-wip/#findComment-4244964 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Some spike Base colours down, he certainly looks like a proto Night Lord! Another lighter layer of colour, some washes and then highlights (plus the LIGHTNING) and he'll be perfecto Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/316831-night-falls-a-night-lords-wip/#findComment-4244974 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Gorgon Posted December 6, 2015 Author Share Posted December 6, 2015 Any tips you all have is greatly appreciated. At mo he is kantor blue with mephiston red sinner bits. Bit of rune lord brass edges. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/316831-night-falls-a-night-lords-wip/#findComment-4244984 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allart01 Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 The conversion is easy but very effective. Good job. But he totally does need some lightning bolts!

The_Gorgon Posted December 6, 2015 Author Share Posted December 6, 2015 Cheers guys my fiancée has volunteered to do the Lightning as she is rather good at painting. I've got loads of old chaos marines and dark elder bits knocking around so loads of chains and skulls etc. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/316831-night-falls-a-night-lords-wip/#findComment-4245017 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Nice conversion! Id begin with a few coats of drakenhof nightstade to really darken him down from the Kantor - at the moment, he looks like a Crimson Fist.

Aeternus Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 I second Xenith. To darken the blue try a few coats of drakenhoff. Maybe also give the reds/metals a wash of nuln oil?

Sabadin Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Any tips you all have is greatly appreciated. At mo he is kantor blue with mephiston red sinner bits. Bit of rune lord brass edges. What are you aiming for with the final colours? If you're looking for a nice darker midnight tone, I find 2 thinned washes of Nuln Oil highlighted with Kantor then Macragge gives a nice dark blue that contrasts nicely with the lightning after. For a darker red I find some careful glazes of either Biel-Tan or Athonian Camoshade have a nice look and pop to them.

The_Gorgon Posted December 7, 2015 Author Share Posted December 7, 2015 Cheers for the help guys I washed him with drakenhoff for the blue and caebourg Crimson on the red, with nuln oil on the metals he cerainly looks darker but for some reason the picture I took looks the same as before Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/316831-night-falls-a-night-lords-wip/#findComment-4245657 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeternus Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 If after another wash of drakenhoff, he doesn't quite seem dark enough, maybe try a wash of agrax. Then drybrush/highlight back up in areas. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/316831-night-falls-a-night-lords-wip/#findComment-4245706 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Gorgon Posted December 13, 2015 Author Share Posted December 13, 2015 Tried a bit of edge highlighting on my dread but think it's too bright maybe? Tried to tidy up a bit I slipped on with kantor blue but it's slightly a different shade, can I just wash the area slightly to achieve a similar tone? http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h308/dolfanuk/Mobile%20Uploads/5CCB2476-101E-4CD1-867E-CEC7238FF86C.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/316831-night-falls-a-night-lords-wip/#findComment-4250899 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frostmourne Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Just do a few thin watered down coats of your first paint to cover up the slip mate, dont try and do it all in one, you will end up with a lump of paint and not the right shade :) Looking good too mate, keen to see more.

SkimaskMohawk Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 What you should have done IMO was mixed kantor with a midtone blue and using that as a layer before washing it. You really don't get e lot of depth out of just washed kantor because its naturally so dark. Try using brown washes on red instead of red, really helps pick out the details Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/316831-night-falls-a-night-lords-wip/#findComment-4251166 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Gorgon Posted December 19, 2015 Author Share Posted December 19, 2015 Just a quick update guys trying out my scheme on one of my terminator models The bronze will take a strong role in veterans and the bone coloured helmets will be a main part of my force to help them stand out http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h308/dolfanuk/Mobile%20Uploads/2015-12/DA170D54-5A88-4DAE-88EA-D17188B8EC25.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/316831-night-falls-a-night-lords-wip/#findComment-4256487 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 He looks solid! The bone helm really brings the scheme together methinks! Now get some shade/ hilights on him! Then do the squad ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/316831-night-falls-a-night-lords-wip/#findComment-4256537 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironwithout Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 These look great and that's a really nice blue you have. A brown wash may add some depth to that gold. Keep it up!

The_Gorgon Posted December 19, 2015 Author Share Posted December 19, 2015 Cheers guys I'll try the wash suggestions, these guys will prob be a semi loyal night lords force hunting down traitors. Any suggestions for a name of my company? Something to do with the helms because all I've got in my head at min is boneheads and I hardly think that's right Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/316831-night-falls-a-night-lords-wip/#findComment-4256576 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dantay VI Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Have you tried a blue or green wash on the red areas, I regularly use drakenhof on mine and it darkens it to a nice wine red. The green gives it a more leathery brown red colour Mechrite red washed with drakenhof Mechrite Read washed with Thraka green Mechrite red with drakenhof wash, and then highlighted up to blood red.

The_Gorgon Posted December 20, 2015 Author Share Posted December 20, 2015 For those of you who saw my failed Raven guard Hersey army I have converted my kaedes nex moritat model to be my night lords praetor You can't really see my chain glaive conversion but it's a standard pole with a chain blade attached I also gave him the old chaos plas pistol as I think it could be used to represent an archeo tech pistol or Nanite blaster http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h308/dolfanuk/2015-12/F82946FC-C6D3-4C5F-BD71-08C1D98E022A.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/316831-night-falls-a-night-lords-wip/#findComment-4257115 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Gorgon Posted December 27, 2015 Author Share Posted December 27, 2015 So here is part two of my night falls project that is my iron warriors allies specifically golg the termie captain from BaC just matches up perfect in my opinion. The fluff behind it is the iron warriors will land during daylight proceed to pummel a fortress etc and breach it's defenses before withdrawing at dusk allowing the poor souls a moment of hope before the vox crackles to life with the ominous words "we have come for you" http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h308/dolfanuk/Mobile%20Uploads/2015-12/9DC3B64C-4532-4CE8-9D27-F356A200CB52.jpg http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h308/dolfanuk/2015-12/DA8CB272-5CC4-4EC0-822C-CFACD71A83A9.jpg He is only a base coat etc so far needs washing and highlighting and general tidying up His name is Dragor Bragg and he's the captain of the 23rd company using golgs rules Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/316831-night-falls-a-night-lords-wip/#findComment-4262000 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Gorgon Posted December 30, 2015 Author Share Posted December 30, 2015 A bit of fluff for the alliance Dragor Bragg captain of the 23rd company of the iron warriors, stepped up to the aegis line, hastily deployed onto the black sands that stretched in a crescent around the great urgall depression. He has been running almost on autopilot since the briefing where the Lord of iron had given them their instructions for the isstvaan five campaign. Those orders were simple, almost laughably so, treason, betrayal, murder on a grand scale and then throw in their lot with Horus. His jaw was locked with barely contained rage, his gene father assumed his loyalty was something to be traded and bartered on his say so. His vox bead interrupted his red thoughts "Dragor, is that your tin men I see up there?" "Kalen? Iron within! I didn't think to hear a friendly voice on a day such as this" Kalen Jonas captain of the 36th company of the night lords, the "bone helms" smirked beneath his helmet. "The famous captain Bragg turning his back on the emperor and his oaths, now this I must see" " if you will see something then see this Kalen" said Bragg through gritted teeth "company! Defense formation Red Sea on my mark. mark!" His men pivoted ninety degrees either to the left or right depending on their place in the line, then quick stepped to a new point forming two lines facing opposite directions , one facing a company of word bearers the other a company of alpha legion. "Hold the tides brothers, fire!" As the traitors unleashed their fires of treason on the retreating Raven guard and salamanders, the hail of bolts from Bragg's men cut down their flanks. The traitors caught off guard suffered terrible losses in the first few minutes but soon adjusted to the new threat and turned to pour return fire into the iron warriors. With enemies on both sides, the 23rd suffered horrendous casualties, "stand proud men! Make them pay for their treachery! Hold the line till the Ravens can break through!" The weight of fire slackened as the traitors appeared to be fighting amongst themselves, Bragg caught glimpses of midnight blue ceramite among the traitors formations, cutting down enemies with backstabs and cut throats, his vox chirped to life again "Hold firm Dragor, we have come for you" Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/316831-night-falls-a-night-lords-wip/#findComment-4264045 Share on other sites More sharing options...
