[Gore Crow]

Greetings, welcome to my thread where I'll dump the things I'm slowly working on.

 

Currently I'm muddling around with a HH NL force just as a break from my 40K & AT, maybe I'll be able to play it one day. These are the first models I've used an airbrush and oils on so C&C is welcome!

 

Praetor

 

Night Raptors

 

Half a Terror Squad

 

I've got one and a half terror squads, a chaplain, an apothecary, a contemptor and five more night raptors WIP

More of Curze's loons is always good.

 

Especially as these ones are very well-painted

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Excellent works.

[Gore Crow]

Thanks both!

 

Completed Terror Squad

 

As a treat for doing a squad, next up is this happy little contemptor.

[Loquille]

The Terror Squad is looking great. 

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Excellent work on the Terror Squad. The Contemptor looks most promising with his many trophies.

[Pearson73]

Great to see you starting up a thread, I've enjoyed following your content on Instagram and in the 30k chat. These chaps are well painted and the Raptors are well converted. I like the Terror squad poses as well. I'm not completely sold on the Contemptor's pose, but I'm looking forward to seeing you paint it and tackle the trophies.

[Gore Crow]

Thanks Pearson, appreciate all your support! I agree, the pose is not as dynamic as I'd liked - I should have had some blutack to try out stances.

Hopefully a better picture will help somewhat too! The arms are magnetised as well.

 

Unfortunately I have lent out my BFTBG so the gore will have to wait a little while. 

 

 

Next up is probably some more night raptors once my MKIV assault weapons arrive.

[Bjorn Firewalker]

The paint and weathering are well-applied. I eagerly await seeing the Contemptor bloodstained and gory. Will you get a Primaris Marine model, messily saw it in half, and green stuff some entrails to decorate the Dreadnought's base?

[Gore Crow]

No primaris around yet, but maybe some unlucky Dark Angel grunt

[Pearson73]

Solid paint job on the Contemptor, quick too! I'm looking forward to seeing some gore on there.

[Gore Crow]

Thanks! 30k is new and exciting to me, I'm sure I'll slow down to my usual painting pace eventually. 

 

Spent tonight building more Night Raptors - had a much easier time thanks to switching the front half of the raptor torsos for mkIV ones, and mostly arming them using the FW power weapons set. Also means less trim to paint so a nice double win there.
 
Also bodging up a librarian because it's nice to have one of every consul, right?

The new Raptors look good, cutting down on the trim will be a godsend, the chaos kits are a bit of a nightmare to paint! That Dark Vengeance Librarian works well for the Night Lords, the cowled head gives a sinister feel to the piece.

[Gore Crow]

Had some trouble with my airbrush which has delayed getting my real dudes done - but I did manage to dig this old guy out, strip it, and recommission for the VIII. 

 

[Pearson73]

Liking the weathering and chipping on the Tarantula, it's not a model I often see, but it's a nice little piece.

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Fine work on the Tarantula.

[Gore Crow]

Night Lords Librarian

 

[Pearson73]

Nice job on the Librarian, the hourglass icon on the leg is really nicely done.

[Miek]

Great work Gore Crow! Is your name inspired by the Abhorsen series by any chance?

[Bjorn Firewalker]

The Librarian looks impressively intimidating. Is he Force choking an Imperial lapdog?

It's the name of my Adeptus Titanicus legio - but GW may well have gotten it from there!

You bet! That or innocent civilians...

[Hungry Nostraman Lizard]

Isn't that the limited and now OOP Librarian from the 6th and 7th edition starter boxes? Very nice work on the libby. Looking forward to more of your folks. Subbin' to your thread!

[Gore Crow]

Thanks man! Your NL have been a big influence

My Terrormaster/chaplain

[Hungry Nostraman Lizard]

Very glad you removed that derpy Praetor head that the stock kit comes with. If I might offer some suggestion; the loin cloth metallics are very shiny and blend in with the rest. Maybe to differentiate that it's slightly different type of iron/metal, give it a wash of some brown/earth tones? Avoiding the hooks, to make them pop.

[Gore Crow]

Thanks I gave it a wash of agrax, it looks much better. The sheer amount of light I'm blasting at them for my pictures may also be washing them out
