CrusiusFin Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Hi everyone! I'm a long time lurker and this is my first post. Now that I've started a heresy army I've wanted to start a project log to keep myself motivated. I bought B@C on the week it got released and got my first test model painted in May and right after that I got three Marines painted last week. Let's hope I get next models painted a bit more quickly. I've painted some dirty Xenos Eldar during the summer, but I think now it's time to get some Night Lords on the table.This is the first time I've tried to do some weathering and I've used some pigment powders. I've heard that varnish may mess up with the pigments, but does anyone know if using a diluted matt or satin varnish using an airbrush is okay? Currently the pigments can be brushed off and that's not good for models that probably will be used for gaming.Bases are obviously WIP, they will be city/industrial with some snow. The models have bits from GW, Kromlech, Forge World and Anvil Industry. http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r286/zumuttaja/Night%20Lords/DSC01471_zpsm9x5ka5v.jpgThe test model from May. In the later models I've changed from drybrushing highlights on the metals to edge highlighting.http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r286/zumuttaja/Night%20Lords/DSC01465_zpsdde0l1ra.jpgThree completed models for my first Terror Squad, finished them last week. I'm quite happy with the finished results.Some WIPS: http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r286/zumuttaja/Night%20Lords/DSC01479_zpsxvwzfoi5.jpghttp://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r286/zumuttaja/Night%20Lords/DSC01478_zpstd0vg4j9.jpghttp://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r286/zumuttaja/Night%20Lords/DSC01477_zps99lg9gbq.jpgMy praetor conversion from the Chaplain model, he feels appropriately imposing http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r286/zumuttaja/Night%20Lords/DSC01476_zpskrvobpmv.jpghttp://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r286/zumuttaja/Night%20Lords/DSC01475_zpsjpfdn1ju.jpghttp://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r286/zumuttaja/Night%20Lords/DSC01473_zpsxtcxildz.jpgComments, critique and tips are all welcome.

Aeternus Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Another recruit for the Legion Some very nice looking terror marines you've got there. Nice work on the lightning as well Some cool conversions going on. *Edit - no longer relevant* But a great start!

The boater Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Looking good so far. One point of note however, you drilled out the wrong spot for the hole on the dreadnought assault cannon. Should be the lower spot Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/325273-night-comes-heresy-era-night-lords-wip-now-with-custodes/#findComment-4483941 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeathbyWes Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Nice Night Lords ! Looking forward to seeing paint on all these guys, the poses are great. Maybe run over the lower legs with a dry brushing of slightly darker brown in spots over the light brown ? Might give the weathering just a bit more depth. -W Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/325273-night-comes-heresy-era-night-lords-wip-now-with-custodes/#findComment-4484002 Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrusiusFin Posted August 30, 2016 Author Share Posted August 30, 2016 Thanks for the comments.@The boater: Glad you saw that, I don't know what I've been thinking. Fixed with green stuff and the correct barrel has been drilled.@Dosjetka: I'm thinking that I'll try to get some infantry done first. At some point I'll make a Forge World order for the Legion books and I've also been eyeing the Night Lords contemptor and a Sicaran battle tank.Finished the bases for my previously completed marines. I wanted the bases to show some brown in addition to grey, but these came out very grey with no brown visible (airbrushed black, then brown and then grey). I'll try to get some brown to show next time. http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r286/zumuttaja/Night%20Lords/DSC01480_zpsolbqjgfc.jpg http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r286/zumuttaja/Night%20Lords/DSC01482_zpsltbtf1av.jpg http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r286/zumuttaja/Night%20Lords/DSC01483_zpshwh0p0my.jpg http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r286/zumuttaja/Night%20Lords/DSC01484_zpsxkbxdava.jpg http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r286/zumuttaja/Night%20Lords/DSC01485_zpsobkrqfv3.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/325273-night-comes-heresy-era-night-lords-wip-now-with-custodes/#findComment-4484518 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kizzdougs Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Beautiful work, bro! I really like that they don't have too much red on them, and the lightning is really well painted :tu: Also, the weathering is really nice :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/325273-night-comes-heresy-era-night-lords-wip-now-with-custodes/#findComment-4485079 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's always a pleasure to see more legionnaires standing in the midnight clad.

CrusiusFin Posted September 11, 2016 Author Share Posted September 11, 2016 Update. I got three more Terror Marines painted including the squad sergeant. Bases are WIP, I usually make them when I have at least 10 unbased minis. I think the skull mask on the sergeant came out quite nice.http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r286/zumuttaja/Night%20Lords/DSC01487_zps2dlrm8a1.jpg http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r286/zumuttaja/Night%20Lords/DSC01488_zps19ynfaty.jpg http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r286/zumuttaja/Night%20Lords/DSC01489_zpsqdsxzoop.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/325273-night-comes-heresy-era-night-lords-wip-now-with-custodes/#findComment-4498168 Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrusiusFin Posted September 29, 2016 Author Share Posted September 29, 2016 Update! Three Terminators are now painted, bringing the squad now to 4/5. Reaper autocannon is from a Chaos Terminator as is his power fist. The terminators were painted rather quickly between Sunday-Wednesday, I was away for a week and unable to paint (basecoating and washing for the blue parts were done earlier). I think the bat-like ornament taken from Dark Eldar bits is quite fitting for Nightlords. http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r286/zumuttaja/Night%20Lords/DSC01490_zpsamdm38jy.jpg http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r286/zumuttaja/Night%20Lords/DSC01492_zpseuvtxdpk.jpg A group picture of what is done now.http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r286/zumuttaja/Night%20Lords/DSC01495_zps2t8swzio.jpg Next up will be another 4 Terror marines and the last terminators to finish up the squads. At that point I think I'll make the bases for all unfinished ones. I also have a Forge World order coming, but it will take time till I have time to paint that stuff :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/325273-night-comes-heresy-era-night-lords-wip-now-with-custodes/#findComment-4515552 Share on other sites More sharing options...

sockwithaticket Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Good looking NLs so far, you could go a bit more all out with the trophies etc. that they tend to be depicted with given that you're kind of going that way with the flayed skin bits. Plus evil looking knives are always a good looking NL accessory.

CrusiusFin Posted October 9, 2016 Author Share Posted October 9, 2016 Finally finished painting and basing the squads. So now I have 5 Terminators and 10 man Terror squad done. The images are a bit too bright, they're not that bright blue. Enjoy. http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r286/zumuttaja/Night%20Lords/DSC01498_zps5ui2oaef.jpg These are the ones that I painted last and haven't been seen here.http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r286/zumuttaja/Night%20Lords/DSC01502_zpsvfofwdo0.jpg Group picture, slightly out of focus on the front guys. http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r286/zumuttaja/Night%20Lords/DSC01501_zpszjw9ol49.jpg http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r286/zumuttaja/Night%20Lords/DSC01500_zpseowk6bci.jpg http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r286/zumuttaja/Night%20Lords/DSC01499_zps15nu2cb1.jpg http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r286/zumuttaja/Night%20Lords/DSC01504_zpsouehlok9.jpg A preview of my contemptor, made the base at the same time as other bases.

CrusiusFin Posted November 6, 2016 Author Share Posted November 6, 2016 Just finished painting 5 Raptors. I had finished the Contemptor earlier, but I just got pigment binder and I mixed it with the pigment powder. I think I still need to airbrush at least the Contemptor with the binder so the powder doesn't come off. I got a litte overboard with the pigments and I rubbed some of it off, but they are still quite weathered. I also added some pigment to the base, but I'll try different methods on my next bases.http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r286/zumuttaja/Night%20Lords/DSC01506_zpsqudwx0ql.jpg http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r286/zumuttaja/Night%20Lords/DSC01507_zps5nmgwgbq.jpg http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r286/zumuttaja/Night%20Lords/DSC01508_zpsoikcgcov.jpg http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r286/zumuttaja/Night%20Lords/DSC01510_zps9fqwmo6b.jpg http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r286/zumuttaja/Night%20Lords/DSC01511_zpsuz5hxl11.jpg http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r286/zumuttaja/Night%20Lords/DSC01514_zpsdbrllbfe.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/325273-night-comes-heresy-era-night-lords-wip-now-with-custodes/#findComment-4555079 Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrusiusFin Posted December 9, 2016 Author Share Posted December 9, 2016 Update after a too long time. Finished 5 marines, one of them being an Assault Marine, other ones are from Terror Squads. Still haven't gotten around making bases.http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r286/zumuttaja/Night%20Lords/DSC01516_zpshqyifuzv.jpg http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r286/zumuttaja/Night%20Lords/DSC01517_zps0mcllu0g.jpg One of the marines have a "borrowed" Blood Angel bolt pistol, I'm sure the previous owner doesn't need it Some WIP material. I don't have proper lighting on my airbrushing station (also called kitchen table) and it's literally less than 4 hours of light, but today managed to start airbrushing early and got some stuff basecoated http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r286/zumuttaja/Night%20Lords/DSC01518_zpsrdrhjs5e.jpg A kitbashed Master of Signal (built before BoP came out) and the Praetor, seen earlier http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r286/zumuttaja/Night%20Lords/DSC01520_zpslqjhhuii.jpg Some Mark III marines, one with a heavy chainsword. http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r286/zumuttaja/Night%20Lords/DSC01521_zpsxvktz5fk.jpg Some more marines. Tried some greenstuffing, I hope it comes out okay once painted. I've also done some basecoating for my Sicaran and Contemptor dread (not shown here, yet...)
