So I thought lets start fresh with a new project so here is the start of my Night Lords. http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b421/yeahhluke92/Mobile%20Uploads/2017-08-13%2020.31.35_zpsii4rr1ot.jpg A 5 man Terror Squad is first up, but I'm also working on some terminators aswell so more to come soon Edited December 31, 2017 by outlanders_luke Marqol and foamy248 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/338080-night-lords/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

D3L Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 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?

outlanders_luke Posted August 14, 2017 Author Share Posted August 14, 2017 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 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/338080-night-lords/#findComment-4856731 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sagentus Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 These are looking sinister already, look forward to seeing more of them and the ones you have undercoated painted :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/338080-night-lords/#findComment-4857616 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryltar Thamior Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 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.

outlanders_luke Posted August 20, 2017 Author Share Posted August 20, 2017 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 http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b421/yeahhluke92/Mobile%20Uploads/20170820_110625-1_zpsvwbi6xiv.jpg 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 helterskelter and Qkhitai 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/338080-night-lords/#findComment-4862723 Share on other sites More sharing options...
outlanders_luke Posted August 20, 2017 Author Share Posted August 20, 2017 (edited) 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 Edited August 21, 2017 by outlanders_luke Ryltar Thamior 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/338080-night-lords/#findComment-4862726 Share on other sites More sharing options...
outlanders_luke Posted August 22, 2017 Author Share Posted August 22, 2017 (edited) 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.+++ Unnamed Praetor Tribune ++++++ VIII Legion ++++++ 116th Company +++http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/b421/yeahhluke92/Mobile%20Uploads/20170822_201539-1_zpsn5diudtw.jpg Edited August 24, 2017 by outlanders_luke JeffJedi, Grotsmasha, helterskelter and 2 others 5 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/338080-night-lords/#findComment-4865299 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBear Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 (edited) 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.

The_Stray_Idea Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 The flayed face on the tactical squad Sargent is truly inspired in the most twisted of ways. Grey use of primaris parts on the terminators. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/338080-night-lords/#findComment-4865791 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryltar Thamior Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 What's the (somewhat shorter) right greave on the Contemptor from? And will he be getting kneepads?

outlanders_luke Posted August 25, 2017 Author Share Posted August 25, 2017 @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 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 Ryltar Thamior 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/338080-night-lords/#findComment-4868092 Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

outlanders_luke Posted August 29, 2017 Author Share Posted August 29, 2017 @MrBear 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 mooftak 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/338080-night-lords/#findComment-4871776 Share on other sites More sharing options...
