Screams of Despair Night Lords WIP -Midnight Clad WE PG 8-


Wicced

Recommended Posts

first of all, thanks for the comments :o

 

This has got me curious: is there some bit of fluff or novel somewhere that talks about how the Night Lords had lots of those jetbikes sitting around? Or is it just that it seems so fitting to their style (which it does, I believe)?

 

i don't know of any fluff mentioning increased jetbike capacities of the night lords. i just saw insaniak's fantastic jetbike tutorial and figured it would fit nicely with the scare tactics and shock troop theme of the legion.

 

 

i'm definitely planning on adding a "main armament" i just need to figure out, which weapon to choose and where to put it :D

i was thinking about a missile laucher, or maybe one of the leftover plasma guns from the storm raven sprue...

i tinkered with the jetbike a little more, but i realized an underslung weapon doesn't work with the lines of the bike very good. so i guess i'm keeping it the way it is, because the rider himself should be enough to scare prey out of cover :ermm:

 

i'm currently trying to decide what to do with the jets of the jetbike, and i'm still working on some raptors.

 

i'll try to get some pictures up in the next few days...

as promised, here are some pictures of my raptors and another chosen and my counts as Khârn.

they all need some more clean up work before painting (e.g. the armpit of the raptor with the dual claw) and are just fixed with double sided adhesive tape for the pictures, so poses may and will most certainly change a little in the final assembly, but i'm quite satisfied with them.

special thanks to Dan the Demon for tons of inspiration (most recently Khârn's skincape) and Konskrypt for the idea with the claw with two blades :lol:

chosen:

the modells themeself are looking nice, but how it looks with the paintjob done is the great question.

finished converting 3 more raptors tonight...

they're assembled with double sided adhesive tape for the pictures and the polearm is not glued to the hand yet, the blade tip will point a little more to his right foot.

c&c appreciated as usually :D

Ah, I'll comment the awesomeness.

 

First of all - the new champ is COOL! Love his dual p-fists, and the pose is all about badassery :) The spear guy however seems a little... I dont know, wrong? I get that the spear is not yet glued, but it seems a bit to big to be carried just like that. Having it two-handed might help, since it is a nice spear, but the pose just doesnt cut it with the rest of the guys, I think.

thanks for the comment brother Natanael.

i was planning to give him a kind of "en garde" pose, with the spear pointing downwards, while he's taking aim to throw the grenade he's holding in his right hand.

I like them, even though I look at thei raptors poses and think that if the jetpacks were not there, they could be from the disco era. The guy with the twin LC looks right out of Saturday Night Fever! :lol:

 

That said, the poses are great. I'm a fan of kitbashing, something that looking at these forum's have encouraged me to do and this too is great encouragement.

thank you for your comment, i know what you mean, i think it's due to the pointed finger on both fists, but imagine him with both his arms raised.

i tried that pose, but had to cancel it, because i couldn't sculpt a decent disco ball :lol:

I didnt see he had a grenade in his other hand. Then I guess the pose might work tough I still think the spear is in a funny angle. Maybe skip the grenade and make it a "stabby" pose instead, with a two-handed spear or give him something that is easier to handle while throwing a nade, sword or axe.

They look cool, though I agree the twin powerfist guy (as much as I love twin powerfists) looks a little bit silly. Have you tried cutting and reposing the pointing finger so it's more of a fist? and the metal one you can just bend.

 

Anyway, keep them coming! :lol:

i think i'm gonna keep the grenade hand and the overall arm pose, but the spear angle is not set yet and since it's all WIP, things may change :lol:

Those are always some of the best minis. Ones born of spontaneity and such.

 

I get the feeling he's going "Come at me, loyalist."

yup, i figured he's just looking at the annoying loyalist who put the bullet holes into his armour and getting ready to use the chain to get him into meat grinder distance ;P

I just read your thread from the beginning and im loving all of it firstly im gonna borrow the idea of the guy with the twin plasma pistols any chance of another photo of his back pack brother?

 

the Khârn model is great where did the chain come from also how did you do the bullet damage? your two raptor champs are ace using the metal orignal champ arms was a good choice cant wait to see them midnight clad looking forward to next update.

 

oh yeah i have a few of those gk helbards somewhere now i know what to do with them :)
