Tallarn Commander Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 (edited) Hello, I'm starting a WIP Night Lords blog to track my hobbying. Here is my first completed batch of 6 cultists (I'm saving my higher points units for the ETL). I learned how to paint the chaos sigil on the cultist's back from Insane Pschopath's excellent Iron Warriors' 5th Company blog. Here is my WIP next batch of cultists: I used my cultists for the first time this week. They managed to tie up a space wolves dreadnought and a unit of Thunder wolves for 2 turns (and even killed one thunder wolf). Here are some photos of my cultists in the game. Here's are some shots of a couple of chaos rhinos I finished up this winter I hope you enjoyed the photos.

Tallarn Commander Posted April 10, 2016 Author Share Posted April 10, 2016 (edited) I got in a game with my Night Lords. You can see my raptors and my unpainted raptor lord in the foreground int this photo. My newly painted cultists went to battle today against another chaos army. They were part of a larger unpainted cultist blob. The cultists did a great job serving as a ablative armor for my raptor lord once his raptors were all dead. ...and his cultists (visible in the background here) did quite well too. Shot of my rhino and bikers advancing Enjoy the photos! Night Lords, "The quick and the dead."

Tallarn Commander Posted December 21, 2016 Author Share Posted December 21, 2016 (edited) Hi everyone, I finished up another Night Lords project. I converted 7 heavy bolter havocs into autocannon havocs (something I've been meaning to do since the 2002 Chaos Codex). All 8 Autocannon Havocs Close up of the new autocannon havocs Enjoy!

Tallarn Commander Posted January 8, 2017 Author Share Posted January 8, 2017 (edited) Hi everyone, happy New Year!My Night Lords projects for this year are:-small raptor squad-small melta chosen squad with rhino-spawn squad-60-ish renegade troopers (many of whom can be cultists) and a 3-gun earthshaker batteryI got a good deal on bitz over the holidays so I have been busily assembling renegades. I now have assembled enough troopers to run a small IA13 Renegades and Heretics CAD alongside my primary Night Lords CAD (or Night Lords formations). I now have a 5-trooper command squad, a 60 trooper platoon (3 platoon squads of 20 troopers), 12 crew for 3 Basilisk platforms (I still need to buy 3 155mm Marx brand toy howitzers from Ebay to use as the guns), and a 7-ish trooper outflanking vet squad to use as my 2nd troops choice. In total about 25 painted troopers and 60-ish unpainted troopers. Some artillery crew Some regular troopers and a trooper with the Banner of Hatred... Some more artillery crew hanging out with an IG enginseer (these blokes might be drafted into my Tallarn force as the enginseer's servitors though)... ...and a closeup of all painted and unpainted Renegades and Heretics infantry! Of course, many of these models can be run as CSM cultists as well. Enjoy!

WarriorFish Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 This is an impressive collection you're building up! That also means a lot of models to paint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallarn Commander Posted January 9, 2017 Author Share Posted January 9, 2017 Thanks for the kind words. I love your CSM's red and white color scheme and conversions! Yes, painting all those renegade troopers is daunting. I hope to paint them by the fall so I can work on my neglected orks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spafe Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 They look awesome! A crazy amount of conversions in there! How do you plan on running the large renegade platoons? I think I see some missile launchers in there, and chaos sigils... Also is that a mordheim possessed warband guy in there I see with a 2 handed axe? sweeeeet!!!

Tallarn Commander Posted February 1, 2017 Author Share Posted February 1, 2017 Spafe, thanks for the kind words. The goal is to run a 900-ish point renegades primary CAD to support my Night Lords CAD. Here is how I plan on running the platoons: Chaos Renegades Primary CAD HQ -Captain Zero, Arch Demagogue & 4 trooper command squad, arch heretic revolutionary devotion, free covenant of khorne, carapace armor, mb, plasma pistol, power axe, missile launcher=120 [Captain Zero will join an arty squad or platoon squad to make it fearless, the command squad sits back and shoots] ELITES -Blood Slaughterer of Khorne w impaler=135 [A fun distraction unit who will deepstrike into the enemy rear.] TROOPS 1 -Platoon Command Squad w 20 troopers, demagogue wmeltabombs, 2 flamers, vox, icon=90 -Platoon Infantry Squad w 20 troopers, demagogue w meltabombs, icon, 3 flamers=90 [These 2 squads will be used the same way as my regular NL cultists today: as cheap fodder. They run behind the raptors, bikes, spawn, and maulerfiend. They grab objectives, bubble wrap more expensive units on turn 1, serve as a second wave, and give the lord a place to hide if the first wave has been killed off.] -Platoon Infantry Squad w 20 troopers, demagogue, meltabombs, militia training, icon, flamer, 2 missile launchers=120 [This unit will back with the autocannon havocs, screen the artillery, and shoot. Missile launchers are pretty lackluster compared to lascannons, but it's what I have.] TROOPS 2 -5 veterans, champion, mb, scout, meltagun=70 [A small troop tax/squad that will outflank and harass the enemy rear.] HEAVY SUPPORT -Heavy ordnance battery w 3 Earthshaker carriages=165 -3 heavy quad launchers=90 [My base of fire. Sometimes I might buff them with my Night Lords' Sorceress Chamorro using prescience, but I'd have drop my bike squad to work her in. I'd like to add a 3rd arty squad eventually.] Total=880 Yes, that's an old Mordheim possessed warband model. I bought it back when you could direct buy bitz from GW. spafe 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallarn Commander Posted February 12, 2017 Author Share Posted February 12, 2017 (edited) Hi, I painted up 4 more Night Lords.2 raptors and 2 chaos marines w meltaguns I have now painted up all of my raptors--here's a shot of all 16 plus my raptor lord. 9 of my raptors use the 2002 sculpt, 3 use the 3rd edition 1999? sculpt, and 5 use the plastic 2012 sculpt. My favorite is the sleek look of the 2002 sculpt, but they sure are top heavy. It's as if they hope to defeat the enemy during games by falling over on them! I also have a small red "fever" themed Death Guard and/or Nurgle Chaos Marines army. Although I rarely use it, I thought I'd drag it out of mothballs and take a few pictures.

Tallarn Commander Posted February 13, 2017 Author Share Posted February 13, 2017 Spafe, back in 3.5 I gave every squad a free Icon of Chaos Undivided which could be used to summon my squad of furies. Now the icons are purely cosmetic and whenever I build and paint a new squad I include an icon out of nostalgia. Warrior Fish, heh, my Night Lords lose a lot so they're probably lovers not fighters. "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" is arguably more appropriate for them. :) spafe and WarriorFish 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tallarn Commander Posted March 6, 2017 Author Share Posted March 6, 2017 (edited) Hi everyone, I played a game with my Night Lords and my renegades this weekend so I thought I'd share some pics. I was allied with a necron player against IG and Deldar, 2000 points per player. Everyone had a great time and it was a close game indeed--Necrons/CSM won by a point.The necron CSM line before the game My raptors, raptor lord, and a rhino, all but one of these models would die Some Night Lords bikers The Deldar player has a gorgeous banshee-themed army, here is his wraith knightHavocs on a hill, this was the first time I used autocannon havocs and I was very happy with their performance Scarabs and renegades, I really like the blue on the necron models Mary the Maulerfiend Enemy knight and wraithknight control the center IG knight gets ready to charge Mary the Maulerfiend. Fortunately, the knight was killed by friendly fire from a Master of Ordnance before he could charge. Necrons, Eldar, and Night Lords bikers on a flank A gorgeous Ravager Raptors about to slaughter reavers, after consolidating, 15 of 16 raptors would be liquidated by a basilisk carriage These are the impressive looking bassies that treated 15 raptors with extreme prejudice The raptor lord survived though... Here is a hilarious sight, a renegade squad advanced as a CSM squad and raptor flee towards the rear Harry the Helbrute is locked in combat with a wraith lord, the game ended before this melee was resolved Enjoy!
