Rev. Tiberius Jackhammer Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 The paintjob looks good, as does the small conversion on the backpack. Best of luck to ye in the Call, brother in Chaos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord of Blades Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I think it is really good! I like the small conversion on the backpack as well, and the lightning seems to be painted very well. Good to see another Night Lord player! (even though I have put my night lords on a little break...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Nice lightning effect, brother. I also appreciate the weathering. Good luck with your vow. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Apostle Thirst Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Ave Dominus Nox, and he looks pretty good too :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Heinrich Posted October 22, 2012 Author Share Posted October 22, 2012 Thanks for the comments guys, I shall go ahead with the scheme then, I've got two other marines built for the most part, so I'll get photos up at some point, as for further painting I'm gonna wait until the call officially starts and try to get some more done on my World Eaters before I stack another project on my plate lol.

Brother Heinrich Posted October 23, 2012 Author Share Posted October 23, 2012 So here's the next two members of 1st Claw. http://i1162.photobucket.com/albums/q532/mv8830/DSC00410.jpg http://i1162.photobucket.com/albums/q532/mv8830/DSC00411.jpg Credit for the Autocannon idea goes to Dan the Demon. I always hated how unwieldy Autocannons looked on Astartes, so when I stumbled across Dan's Alpha Legion conversions I knew I had found the answer. http://i1162.photobucket.com/albums/q532/mv8830/DSC00409.jpg http://i1162.photobucket.com/albums/q532/mv8830/DSC00412.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkVen Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 That's nice DtD-pattern autocannon conversion, I like the result. Also nice touch on bolter with drum magazine. Speaking of paint scheme - lightnings are nice, especially for the first try. My suggestion is, try to make them a bit longer. Also, generally - try to add some high-lightings to golden and blue parts on the edges. And I wish you luck ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gotta say your work is part of what inspired this army, as far as the highlights go I'm still a little uncertain about the best way to build them up without them looking ridiculous.

hushrong Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Good stuff. I really like the drum-bolter marine from your First Claw. His pose is excellent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Heinrich Posted October 23, 2012 Author Share Posted October 23, 2012 Thanks Hushrong, here's an updated pic of the test model with the blue highlights DarkVen suggested, this again was a first for me as I usually eschew heavy highlighting on my models, so constructive criticism would be much appreciated! Thanks. http://i1162.photobucket.com/albums/q532/mv8830/DSC00413.jpg http://i1162.photobucket.com/albums/q532/mv8830/DSC00414.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkVen Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 This way he looks much better, in my opinion. Highlights are accurate and thin, that's very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dosjetka Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Really well painted Night Lord, excellent lightning :tu: Would anyone be able to tell me which artist created that fine piece of art that the OP used in the first post? :) Ludovic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aqui Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Very nice! The second version is much better (not that there was anything wrong with the first version), as the highlights make it stand out that much more :) I'm surprised Brother Nihm hasn't seen this yet! :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Heinrich Posted October 29, 2012 Author Share Posted October 29, 2012 Thanks for the comments guys, I'm eagerly anticipating the start of the call, but at the same time I'm glad I've got some time for the conversions I've got going on in this army. Without further ado, here's a nice beefy update! http://i1162.photobucket.com/albums/q532/mv8830/DSC00420.jpg http://i1162.photobucket.com/albums/q532/mv8830/DSC00421.jpg Plasma Gunner http://i1162.photobucket.com/albums/q532/mv8830/DSC00416.jpg http://i1162.photobucket.com/albums/q532/mv8830/DSC00417.jpg http://i1162.photobucket.com/albums/q532/mv8830/DSC00418.jpg http://i1162.photobucket.com/albums/q532/mv8830/DSC00419.jpg This fellow is gonna be one of the few renegade marines who've gone over to the Night Lords Legions out of spite for there own chapters or just because they enjoy skinning the enemy a little too much... Like this guy! He's going to be from the Space Wolves chapter, a little tip of the hat to my first army back in '98. http://i1162.photobucket.com/albums/q532/mv8830/DSC00422.jpg http://i1162.photobucket.com/albums/q532/mv8830/DSC00423.jpg And last but far from least, the first 3 of my Atramentar Terminators. I'm putting extra detail into these guys with lots of bit swaps, and green-stuffing to represent baroque, highly detailed suits of cataphractii warplate from the days of the heresy. http://i1162.photobucket.com/albums/q532/mv8830/DSC00415.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Nihm Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I'm surprised Brother Nihm hasn't seen this yet! :lol: Why would you assume he hasn't? :) :lol: good point! :ph34r: I dig the highlights and the lightning. :tu: If you bring up the contrast on the faceplate a bit more (e.g. through gold or silver highlights) I think he would look even better, as the eyes are usually drawn towards the helmets on the minis.

Brother Heinrich Posted October 29, 2012 Author Share Posted October 29, 2012 Thanks Nihm! and do you mean Gold/Silver highlights all around, or just on the metal parts of the helmet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
