Hiddenermac Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 So I took the plunge into the hobby recently and I think I am on my third month now with no prior experience into stuff like this. I knew I wanted a night lords army from the get go and after starting to read the adb NL omnibus I immediately started planning this out. I was supposed to join here a long time ago with a project log about this but saddly I forgot. Only variel and talos remain to be painted as I just got the remaining parts for them. Anyway without further ado here are the members completed so far. Galleries of the above. Uzas of first claw. https://imgur.com/gallery/RypQE Cyrion of first claw. https://imgur.com/gallery/ZyiRL Mercutian of first claw. https://imgur.com/gallery/D24TI Xarl of first claw. https://imgur.com/gallery/wptzW Talos I have had converted for weeks on my table but I was waiting for some apothecary bottles for him. I also painted a banner for his base. This was my first try at free-hand(apart from lightning) and wet blending. The transfer on the banner was later freehanded in but I don't have a good picture of it atm. And lastly Variel the flayer. Figuring out the narthecium was fun as I couldn't find it as a spare bit anywhere. I think I'm the most happy with this conversion Most of the inspiration for these came from the user Augustus bRaass here, the concept sketches and obviously the books. It has been a fun journey so far and have a bit of a bittersweet feeling as it nears it's completion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiddenermac Posted October 20, 2017 Author Share Posted October 20, 2017 As variel has the low hanging flayed flesh "skirt" I tought it best to make the base first. (I usually bade after finishing a model) maybe needs a few skulls on it but will decide after everything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Res Ipsa Loquitur Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Shame about your choice of Legion but welcome to the Dark Side, nontheless. Your minis are crazy good, without even considering that you're new. Serious kudos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiddenermac Posted October 20, 2017 Author Share Posted October 20, 2017 Shame about your choice of Legion :D but welcome to the Dark Side, nontheless. Your minis are crazy good, without even considering that you're new. Serious kudos. Haha thank you! I'm constantly watching youtube videos etc and testing stuff out. I need to get around to practicing edge highlighting properly etc, but have tried to keep the way I paint these the same as to have a cohesive squad.

Hiddenermac Posted October 23, 2017 Author Share Posted October 23, 2017 Got around to continuing on variel. Just highlights and lightning left. I'm loving how the flesh is turning out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiddenermac Posted October 24, 2017 Author Share Posted October 24, 2017 I finished variel. Super happy how he turned out. I wss a bit unsure as I was green stuffing the cloak, but it ended up looking just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiddenermac Posted October 25, 2017 Author Share Posted October 25, 2017 So talos has been "ready" for some time but was missing some bits and pieces I wanted on him. Still need to green stuff the blood angels droplet on his sword and sculpt a few places. I also put him on a 40mm base because reasons. Nearly ready to start painting.

Hiddenermac Posted October 27, 2017 Author Share Posted October 27, 2017 Many thanks, brothers! It's been a wild ride so far. Here are some of my earlier conversions in no particular order. The ahriman conversion was the first one I ever did. And the contemptor started from me :cussing it up when gluing it together and needing to hide the mistakes.

Pearson73 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Such a gritty, visceral paintstyle here, it really emphasises the brutality of the Night Lords. Tthe Ahriman conversion is smashing; solid choice of head and that chain blade is evil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Brutus- Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Great stuff! I love those books, such great character development. I've planned to do First Claw for a while now.Love your take on it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hiddenermac Posted October 31, 2017 Author Share Posted October 31, 2017 your stuff looks brutal!Thanks! Such a gritty, visceral paintstyle here, it really emphasises the brutality of the Night Lords. Tthe Ahriman conversion is smashing; solid choice of head and that chain blade is evil. thank you. The ahriman was a lot of fun. It has those egyptian horns on the armor collar. I cut them off and used them as a base to mold the bat wings on for the helm. Great stuff! I love those books, such great character development. I've planned to do First Claw for a while now.Love your take on it :) thank you! You should get to it. So much fun. Great version of first Claw. Nice workCheers! I was travelling for some days so not much progress. I did manage to do the gems on talos sword. (not super happy, but it will have to do) Also green stuffed a long scroll onto the sorcerer and added the tabard. I think they are both ready to be primed!

Hiddenermac Posted November 2, 2017 Author Share Posted November 2, 2017 Another hq choice for my night lords. An exalted champion or chaos lord? Wanted to get some use for the apothecary body I scavenged for parts. I carved out the laurels and "ropes" for the geneseed bottles on his chest. Still needs some work and I wish I hadn't run out of green stuff atm. new upload photos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiddenermac Posted November 3, 2017 Author Share Posted November 3, 2017 Finally got around to the jump sorceror. Close to finished, just some detailing etc left. (sorry for the :cuss camera) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiddenermac Posted November 4, 2017 Author Share Posted November 4, 2017 And he is finished. A fun project. I managed to drop it as I was priming and broke off some of the jump pack nozzles. The cabling was added to make it look intentional. Haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
