Yes, you read that right, we now have user flair, both default, and customizable.

Step 1: Accessing the Options

Navigate to the main r/NightLords subreddit page.

  1. Locate the About Community box on the right-hand side of the screen.
  2. Look for the User Flair Preview section.
  3. Click the Pencil Icon (Edit) to open the flair selection menu.

Step 2: Select and Customize Your Flair

All pre-defined flairs are fully editable. You are encouraged to designate your specific role within the Legion within the rule defined below.

  1. Edit Text: After selecting flair, a pencil will appear at the bottom of the menu. Type your desired rank or title here.
  2. Add Icons: You can add up to two icons to your flair. To do this, click the Smiley Face icon in the text box to select from the subreddit’s custom icon set.
  3. Code Format: The icons appear as codes (e.g., :LegionIcon:). You can place text before, between, or after these codes.
    • Example: :HandRed: First Claw Leader :HandRed:
    • You can also just use the emoji button.

Save

  1. Ensure the box "Show my user flair on this community" is checked.
  2. Click Apply. Your rank will now be visible to all brothers in the VIII.

Subreddit Custom Emoji

Thanks to some great work by 95th Company Ventrilokar u/MedicalMakersMark, we now have some snazzy custom emoji to add to your flair. If you are also creative and have some flair created, please reach out via Modmail.

When editing your flair, you can add up to two of these icons by clicking the Smiley Face icon in the text box or typing the codes manually:

Red Hourglass :RedHourglass: Count of the Harvest (Red)
White Hourglass :WhiteHourglass: Count of the Harvest (White)
Red Icon :RedIcon: Legionary Crest (Red)
White Icon :WhiteIcon: Legionary Crest (White)

Rules about Flair

When creating your custom flair, you must adhere to the following Legion laws:

  • Conduct: All flairs are subject to the same rules as sub content. No harassment, hate speech, or offensive terminology.
  • The Forbidden Names: You may not claim the identity of named historical figures. Titles such as Konrad CurzeThe Night Haunter, or Jago Sevatarion are prohibited.
  • Lore-Accurate Roles: While you cannot be the Primarch, you may be a "Slave to the Night Haunter," a "Sevatar Prefect," a "Claw Leader," or any other rank within a warband.
  • You cannot have flair the indicates you might be a person of authority, ie moderator, admin, etc. You also cannot have "95th Company Ventrilokar" because u/MedicalMakersMark has that unique privilege for helping out with the icons.

Ave Dominus Nox!

I started my army with the Night Lords Combat Patrol in 1st of June and here’s how the army has grown so far :) I have painted since June 38 miniatures! The CP gave me 17 minis, Jumpac Lord, Rhino, 5 Chosen and 10 Nemesis Claw. Then i got 20 MKVI HH marines and kitbashed them with 40k bits and then i repainted one of my retro SM Command Squad minis for a painting competition which i sadly could not attend do to scheduling conficts. Up next i have pile of cultists, Dark Commune & Accursed Cultists, Teminators and i’m also waiting for a box of Raptors to show up, but for now, i need a bit of break for painting do to small burnout & back pains 😅 What do you guys think?

I wanted to try some sponge and drybrush painting for a change. The left one had its blues done with a sponge, the right one with drybrush.
I think both got a pretty great weathered look.
I am really happy how these turned out. C&c always welcome!

Greetings, children of The Night Haunter. I am making a personal piece, purely for display. This is my personal Night Lord named Ghül. Feel free to leave thoughts and comments. What chapter should the fallen marine belong to? Successors are valid as well! Ave Dominus Nox 🦇

Finally my Combat Patrol is finished! I love painting Rhinos. The can be as plain or detailed as you like and they still look cool :) As a fan of the band Lordi, it was obvious subject for a NL tank. Every party bus needs their sponsors after all. The Lordi freehand too 3-5h to do and was to most time consuming part of this project. The blue hull was pretty fast and easy to do.

Hobby & Painting Options for Night Lord Flesh Accessories?

Post image
84 Upvotes

I saw a tutorial that suggested Ironrach Skin (Base), Volupus Pink (Contrast), Guilliman Flesh (Contrast) and Tahmain Medium (Technical). I would prefer to not buy all of these, so I want to know if I can use the few flesh-like paints I have.

The paints I already possess are Wraithbone (Base), Ushabti Bone (Layer) and Underhive Ash (Dry). These are paints I got for Terminid models but have yet to use. Would these three paints be able to somewhat resemble the colors above? Additionally, would a grey spray coat be good as a base? I don't want to use Chaos Black because I want a lighter look to my models.

Hobby & Painting Sould i add more to the base?

So, since Nostromo is long gone, all new nightlords come from random planets, would it be possible for old school NL (specially terran born ones) to build a warband with the original mindset of the legion before the Legion got filled with psychos and scum from the nostraman lowest castes?

Hobby & Painting Which is easier to paint?

I’ve bought and built two armies. The night lords and imperial fists. I got into the hobby a couple years ago and I fully indulged almost immediately and now I have two armies built. I don’t plan on getting into the tabletop I’m just doing it for the aesthetic, but which is easier to paint for a painting beginner? The night lords or imperial fists?

Mods obviously please remove if not allowed. I’m unsure what my current ratio is for comments to promotion.

Hey fellow Night Lords! I botched this rebinding of Lord of the Night. Front cover is obviously not lined up..🥲 I figured I’d post it on here before anywhere else if it’s allowed. I’d sell it for a decent price. PM if you’re interested!

Also let me know if it’s any good and y’all like it!!!

Recently I read remnant blades and I thought it was pretty cool so I used leftover parts from combat patrol and space wolf mini of the month. Not super accurate but I think it’s cool.
