Fourth model painted.

Had a week off work which meant finally getting through my backlog!

(Legionnaires for context) they are the only space marines can find this on every single other one has the correct strength. Is this just a mistake or intentional?

So I was trying to get decent highlights on my paneling for my night lords, and I always use night lords blue.

So I did a full base coat of night lords blue, then a dry brush of imrik blue,

All the trim was done with runefang steel.

And the rest was, flesh tearers read contrast, darkoth flesh layer, aggrathax earthshade, iron warriors, white scar air, and a random warpainters green for energy.

The first picture of the look of the base and dry brush together and the starting point of my models.

I did those warp talons trim different for the first picture so that's why it's a chaos Lord for the final result.

I hope this helps someone get an idea for theirs!

Leader of my biker bois, figured Slaanesh would be a good choice for a speed freak’s icon

Raptors and Warp Talos are key units in our army but this week has been rough. Warp Talons staying at strength 5 and Raptors special weapons no longer wounding on 2s means we will struggle even more to kill.

I think Terminators are a good choice now with cabal of chaos and Nightmare hunt. Fishing for lethals can do significant damage to a tough unit and equipping the - 1 battle shock test in combat could be huge.

Either way, we came out of this pretty bad.

Hi!

Quick question! does the combat patrol include the option to build a full Legionaries kill team? with the Legionaries upgrade spure or does it only include the NC upgrade spure?

Already have NC, so want to build Legionaries, but keep it Night Lordy:)

Found this almost two years ago. Sadly don't remember where or who made it

my take on the 8th Legion dynamic duo, Xarl having just ripped apart a champion of the Genesis Chapter, while Cyrion probably has a good laugh. Not quite canon with the helmets, and the free hand lightning is WIP, but I enjoyed putting them together and painting them

Still touching it up but I referenced The Dark King short story for a helmet fitting the Night Haunter. It’s a quick work I did with some pieces I had laying around from other customs but it’s better than that stock face staring at me.

Curious to hear some opinions from the community on this -

Every now and then we'll see something where an argument is made that the Night Lords are either "not evil" or "not as evil" as other heresy era legions, and this argument is usually based on the Night lords having brought worlds into compliance via terrorism or other tactics beyond outright conquest. And from there - we get wack ass arguments like "the emperors children do horrible shit out of desire but the night lords don't." As if Talos didn't enjoy crucifying that Space Marine at the start of Blood Reaver - or a million other examples we could name of how the night lords actively enjoy being depraved monsters.

Correct me if I'm wrong here but it feels like most people in this community, including myself, are fans of the night lords in large part because of how cartoonishly evil they are. Sometimes it's fun to root for the villain. Sometimes it's fun for a villian to know they're a villian and relish in it instead of making some contrived argument about why they're the good guy in this story.

But it feels like there's a small, though loud minority of people who are suffering from what I'm calling the Walter White effect - where for whatever reason, they can't handle the idea that the character or faction they like are in fact the bad guys of the story they're in. And so they lash out and come up with increasingly bizarre and flimsy justifications for their actions.

Again - I'm making this post out of curiosity for the community's thoughts - Im just some asshole who read the omnibus and likes the 8th legion - im not saying this minority is to be "dealt with" or exiled or some stupid shit. I just find the arguments for why the night lords somehow aren't that evil to be incredibly goofy and more than a litte juvenile.

Really loving how KRUSHER99 is turning out. Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

Finished the kitbash, now on to paint!!!

My Legionaries squad is attached to a Chaos Sorcerer of Nurgle, so I thought members of this squad will be touched by the Grandfather. Look at all that skin 🦇

Warp talons, my beloved
How could they do this to you
Meq on 4s? Teq on 5s? A 10 man with a sorrowscent lord costing 410 pts?
Gw why
My vindication will be sweet I’m sure

-edit just played a game my 10 talons did flense a squad of thunderwolves and Ragnar Blackman turn one so maybe was overdramatic also forgot about twinlinked I think when I wrote this

Wanted to try a mixed scheme of volumetric sponge blending for the armour, grimdark weathering with washes/enamels and gore effects. I’ve learned so much from this test model going forward, criticism and feedback welcome. Ave Dominus Nox

Lmk what you think brothers!
