Flint13 Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 The black blood letters look just as cool as I knew they would! Those screamers are super interesting. I can't decide exactly how to describe them... Juicy maybe? They look really livid and colorful, like delicious demonic candy. Great job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augustus b'Raass Posted August 1, 2015 Author Share Posted August 1, 2015 Thanks you two, for always commenting on my updates! It's awesome to have so many people encouraging me, and I can only hope I return the favor sufficiently. Also delicious daemonic candy. SO! 3436 points completed this ETL. I made a picture of all my completed units together, and am quite pleased by the result! http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Showcase%20Night%20Lords/temporary_zpslxq6etxn.jpg Hope you like, and once again, thank you all for commenting. :) Marshal Reinhard, sockwithaticket, Retributis and 9 others 12 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sockwithaticket Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 I keep saying it, but the volume of your output combined with the quality of painting and modelling defies belief. Truly, a pact must have been made with the ruinous powers and time function differently inside the Eye.The Black Bloodletters and their blue swords are particularly well executed. Would love to see a whole army of them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augustus b'Raass Posted August 2, 2015 Author Share Posted August 2, 2015 (edited) Haha thanks SWaT! Your post made me go "hmmm, I wonder how much I've painted since I started my Night Lords". All my models are kinda hidden away in a wooden cupboard, but it doesn't have space anymore since before the ETL. The above completions just stand on top of the cupboard now. So I decided to make a pic of my entire army and calculate how many points it is on my BattleScribe accout. And it's kinda embarrassing and baffling. My painted chaos army now stands at 14235 points. Which is even crazier when you consider that I started it in March 2013. I blame my airbrush... http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Showcase%20Night%20Lords/temporary_zpsyr4dfhmw.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Showcase%20Night%20Lords/temporary_zpsgvkjwoqu.jpg Ok so from top to bottom and from left to right: Helblade, Heldrake, Brass Scorpion, Fire Raptor, Warhound, Lord of Skulls, Heldrake Vindicator, 3x Predator Annihilator, 2x Land Radier, Magna Melta Predator, Plasma Destroyer Predator, Vindicator 2x Maulerfiend, Forgefiend, COnrad Curze, Daemon Prince, 4x Contemptor, Helbrute 2x Land Speeders, Sorcerer on Jet Bike (disc of Tzeentch), Be'Lakor, Keepers of Secrets, 3x Obliterators, 3x Rapier Quad Heavy Bolter Battery 3xRhino, Bike Squad with biker lord , Nurgle Bike Squad with Nurgle biker lord, 2x Nurgle Rhino's (in front of the bikers) Terminator Lord, Dark Apostle, Lord, Typhus, Abbadon, Khârn, Cypher, Dark Apostle, Lord 10 Missile launcher Havocs, 10 Autocannon havocs, 10 shooty CSM, 10 assault CSM, 6 Plague Marines, 6 Plague Marines 5 assault terminators, 5 shooty terminators, 5 FW raptors, 7 raptors, Spawn 5 assault terminators, 5 shooty terminators, 5 Warp Talons, 5 Chosen with plasma guns 5 Thousand Sons, 5 Thousand Sons, 5 Khorne Berzerkers, 5 Khorne Berzerkers, 5 Flesh Hounds 10 shooty DV cultists, 10 servitor cultists, 10 assault DV cultists, 10 assault abhuman cultists, 14 shooty FW Cultists 3 Plague drones, 9 Screamers, 3 Bloodcrushers, 5 Gal Vorbak Spawn 10 Plaguebearers, 10 Plaguebearers, 10 Pnk Horrors, 10 Bloodletters, 10 Bloodletters, 10 Bloodletters Edited August 3, 2015 by Augustus b'Raass Midnightmare, Aasfresser, Vel'Cona and 13 others 16 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhostMalone Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 I really should start a new army... So what's that I hear about this new hame called 30k? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augustus b'Raass Posted August 2, 2015 Author Share Posted August 2, 2015 @Aasfresser: Me too. @ShVagYer: To be fair, almost 7k was painted during ETLs III and IV, so my medial speed is less productive than during the last couple of months. Also, Daemons are super easy to paint with an airbrush and washes, so I feel like I cheated. :) @kizzdougs: Yeah, I kinda wonder how I hold a job, and maintain a romantic relationship and have a social life... @Kurama: No way man. I can already use my Night Lords as 30K. I'm starting an Imperial Fists 30k/40k army. ANYWAY! With the ETL over, I can finally sit down and reward myself with some actual converting. The ETL had me paint mostly pre-assembled and -converted tanks and daemons, the last of which are hardly converting material. At least not the kind I'm into. So I really missed sitting down and saw, bash, cut, and glue away at a Space Marine character... About three or four years ago, I bought the Corpse Cart, thinking I could use it for Nurgle somehow. I planned on using the corpses on some kind of Nurgle vehicle, but never got around to it. Then, during this ETL, inspiration struck: I could use the cart itself as a Palanquin of Nurgle! This is the result of the last couple of hours. What do you think? http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Night%20Lords%20WIP/temporary_zpsa8aw400i.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Night%20Lords%20WIP/temporary_zpspcztgsk8.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Night%20Lords%20WIP/temporary_zpsnsnxqni7.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Night%20Lords%20WIP/temporary_zpsgqjdwqsa.jpg Feedback very welcome. Also on the stupid camerawork I cannot seem to get into proper focus. Anyone? Cheers and thanks for looking.

codyrstuart Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 I love the two nurglings just sitting on the back, almost laughing at the others that are actually doing work.

Augustus b'Raass Posted August 3, 2015 Author Share Posted August 3, 2015 I like it! But the Lord/Sorcerer looks like he could use some more bling. Thanks Aasfresser. I agree with you - the Lord should be something 'special'. So I made some changes: added an Icon of Nurgle to his backpack; gave him a chain loincloth; gave him a chain around his belt, plus a Blight Grenade hanging from it; and put a Death Guard symbol made from the CSM vehicle sprue's Slaanesh symbol to his Storm Bolter. Also, the cart itself got imporved with another Nurgle Icon between the bell pole; the bell is now swinging the other way, so as not to interfere with the silhouette of the model and the backpack in particular; the back of the cart has three spikes added; and the nurglings have pooped some PVA glue, so as to cover up the damage from the shortening of the corpse cart's 'coffin lid' base. I'm still not sure about him though. I don;t like the storm bolter as a weapon option for him (although this model is probably for display purposes only, as I see no use for it in competitive games). Also, even though his torso is one of the FW plague marine torso's, I think I could do better. So I'm thinking of actually greenstuffing a complete torso with a normal MkIII torso as a base, and maybe one of the Plague Marine bellies with a mouth. This way, I can also give him a Plague Bearer head,which I catually prefer, as this guy should reflect the moniker I came up with for him: "the Harbinger of Decay" Suggestions for an actual name for him are welcome, btw! Here's some pics of him, which hopefully look good enough: Clear shot of his new backpack icon and his chain loincloth http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Night%20Lords%20WIP/temporary_zpsgf7azs45.jpg close up of the above http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Night%20Lords%20WIP/temporary_zpsd33i7tf8.jpg clear shot of his back, with the chain belt and the blight grenade http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Night%20Lords%20WIP/temporary_zps5dt280mc.jpg the back, with the added spikes and the PVA pooping nurglings http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Night%20Lords%20WIP/temporary_zpsodicuigp.jpg Replies: @Quixus: copy away, buddy! @codystuart: haha I'm so glad you caught that, that's exactly what they're intended for! ;) @Teetengee: and it loves you! ;) @Vel'Cona: The nurgle cult troops are done!

Dantay VI Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Could you snip the storm bolter off his arm, and carve the said arm up a bit? Then use some of your GS skills to turn the mutilated arm into some kind of tentacle?? I have no clues for names.... I am saving Hector Brocklebank for one of my own legionnaries :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augustus b'Raass Posted August 3, 2015 Author Share Posted August 3, 2015 That's actually not a bad idea, Dantay. Cheers.Also, I see your siggy still has a 'Bring it On'-banner from the Augustus Arena event. You can copy-and-paste a Victor badge from this post, and update your siggy with it. You earned it, buddy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aasfresser Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 I love him! Now he looks simply awesome. All the nice little details comming perfectly together. The greenstuffed torso + plaque bester head could make him look to demon-y. This can be a nice thing, because you could use him as a herald, like your moniker for him suggests. And he could lead your PBs into battle. Don't remember if nurgle herald can get a palaquin. Also: count as Epidemius (should he have any worth in the table top). If you are going for lord or sorcerer, that could be a bit too much. But still, nurgel sorc with Prophet of the voices + palaquin or a very crazy fast corps cart aka 'plaque bike' or sumfin. I really like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soldier of Dorn Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 It looks lovely, Aug. Flows very well. As for a name suggestion, how about Sisiphus Arloth. I've got a big stack of names in a Word doc that I'll never use, and he looks just like how I imagined a Astartes of that name would be. Also, can we get a pic of the little icon on his storm bolter, if you haven't cut it up yet? Augustus b'Raass 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dantay VI Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 (edited) Thanks and yes I have updated the banner... Imperial Fists eh?? Please make them 30K, you would be most welcome in the AoD forums In the meantime, the corpse cart is loking too clean inside, needs some detritus... Also was having a weird thought, but do you have any of thse nurgle ffoot knights (blightkings or whatever they are called) from WHFB kicking around? Was thinking that swapping the right leg with one of their swollen legs would look cool, if it scaled correcly...

Augustus b'Raass Posted August 4, 2015 Author Share Posted August 4, 2015 Cheers guys! @Aasfresser: I hear you on the daemon head might make him look too daemon-y argument, so I stuck with the plague marine torso. :tu: @The Psycho: Sisiphus Arloth it is! Thanks for the suggestion! I'd name a character in my army after you, except you just named one for me. So I'll give you creds when I finish him, and award you a non-refundable, irredeemable, one-time digital high-five. How's that? ;) Also, I destroyed the icon the bolter had, but here's a picture that shows how you can make a pretty much perfect Death Guard symbol from the Slaanesh symbol on the Chaos Vehicle Sprue. Just cut along the red lines. :tu: http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Night%20Lords%20WIP/temporary_zps08o0qxqy.jpg @Kurama: Yes, the hated VI Legion! @dantay_xv: They will be 30K, but my heart lies with Chaos so next year I'll probably be vowing the Chaos. I'd have to join in the attempt to get a repe3tion of being Primus Inter Pares next year ;) About the suggestions you made - yes, I agree the cart is too 'clean', so I put in some whitehead pustules on it. Here's a picture of it how it is right now, with a white basecoat on it (I can still add things though). http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Night%20Lords%20WIP/temporary_zpsdqmhvsq6.jpg I'm not going to change around the legs, as I am particularly satisfied with the way I converted them to stand on the cart itself. I have replaced his left arm with a tentacle, though, so I hope you like that. http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Night%20Lords%20WIP/temporary_zpscbkzahqq.jpg Also, I gave him a bolt pistol and some grenades. http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/Night%20Lords%20WIP/temporary_zpsiwmgjuse.jpg Tomorrow is painting time!! :D Kizzdougs 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Heinrich Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Jesus Augustus, you make the 15th Company look just as shabby and ragtag as the 10th lol. Truly the winds of Chaos have favored your band with fortune aplenty. Amazing work and an impressive collection as always.
