Hi All, this is going to be my ongoing project log for my 30k/40k Night Lords

 

I'm a notoriously slow modeller and painter so I'm hoping this will keep me on track after taking a break from 30k/40k for most of this year.

 

So I thought lets start fresh with a new project so here is the start of my Night Lords.

A 5 man Terror Squad is first up, but I'm also working on some terminators aswell so more to come soon

I'm not to up on the lore side of Night Lords, were all Terminators of the VIII legion Atrementar, or were they just the elite?

Omg....he really wears a face over his helmet....you are creepy...in a good way.^^

Thanks, Night Lords have to be creepy in my opinion so there will be more to come in that category

 

looks like a nice base!

I've been seeing a lot of muted-not-black on various sites these days, are you using a "tire-black" from a particular range, or just building up blue over black undercoat?

Yeah it's just blue over a black undercoat through an airbrush, this is just the main blue down before they get hit with a wash

I've added the winged skull icon to his back, but I'm not sure if it looks abit ott..? It might look better when it's painted up

Nice title for th thread - "Guilty as charged", indeed :P 

Where're those heads from? 

And as applies the Atramentar question, I suspect i've seen folk ask it in various forums before but cannot recall the definitive answer. I'd thought of them as basically being the VIIIth legion equivalent of some of the specialist Terminator units [particuarly the bodyguard oens] that we've seen in other Legions rather than collectively referring to *all* the Terminator-equipped squads of the Night Lords. Certainly, the commentary around them being a particular company suggests that this is the case rather than everybody in.

I quickly knocked together a contemptor dreadnought out of a few different parts I had laying around from a few other projects that never really went anywhere

So now its painting time, and to try my hand at the lightning to get this first part of the army ready for the tabletop and finally get a game in

Thanks for the comments guys, really hoping to crack on with all these this week and get them done

 

 

@Ryltar Thamior

 

The heads on the terminators are from the new primaris reiver kit, the only good thing to come out of this new primaris range in my opinion.

 

Thanks for the advice on the Atrementar, that's close to what I was thinking so I'm going to go with that then.

So these are just normal VIII legion terminators then, as the Atrementar need to be more special

So I've finished my first night lord, can't say it was a quick job but I think it's to the best of my ability for now.
I ended up swapping the head out as the standard head wasn't quite right for a night lord in my opinion.

Anyway here's the first finished picture, any comments and criticism is welcomed.

I quite like it, he's cleanly painted with solid colours. The face looks a bit flat, but that might be the light playing tricks with the photo, and some edge highlights of Alaitoc Blue on the armour  would make it look better. Those hightlights can always be added later though, paint the rest of your guys to the same standard as this guy and they will look pretty good when you line them up for battle.

@MrBear

Thanks, there is a very fine highlight of Altioc Blue on the armour but not much, as it was just drybrushed as I've only really just started to paint after being in the hobby for 2 years :facepalm: As with the face i think it might just be the light as i was really happy with how he turned out.

 

 

@Ryltar Thamior

The legs are just from the SoH contemptor, so might just be the photo if it looks shorter, also i couldn't find any knees when i built him so possibly not, but i know i have the Night Lords ones somewhere.

 

 

@Sister Alessia & The_Stray_Idea

Thanks for the comments, I'm trying to give every marine a bit of individuality, whether it be kit bashes or some form of trophy's

Kind of figured that the light made it look more 'flat', happens to me when taking photos aswell. Have you tried pixlr or any other phot editor? They can work wonders with bad light conditions and are quite easy to use.

I haven't edited any of the images but I might give it ago on th next lot I take

 

 

In other news I'm nearly done with the 5 man Terror Squad, but suffering abit of painters burn out due to all the fiddly bits on mkiii armour.

I'm going to move onto the terminators as they seem abit more simple but hope to have both units finished this week
