This army is going to look fantastic Proiteus. You're models and chosen bits are very well suited to the task! Man that fist prototype is just awesome with the helm & pack and all...

Those Jump Backs are awesome! I think the vent version would look great with my FW Heresy Armoured Vanguard!

IF ONLY SOMEONE HAD SHOWN THESE TO ME SOONER, BEFORE MY 30 JUMP BACK CHAPTERHOUSE ORDER WAS DISPATCHED!

the packs are nice and as for heads you could use Steam Knights Helmets, as they look HH era, Skull Tribe Helmets if you want skull helmets.
it would also give you more variety and variations through the army, They evan do HH era pad pack's.
this stuff looks miles ahead of the chapter house stuff.

I am also a BIG fan of MaxMini - great stuff there.

But, Chapter House also has some good stuff too.

Pick and choose guys!

These are VERY nice too - and I'm looking forward to seeing them in the shop!

Although, I also have a bunch of the CH versions, and they are very nice too...

I ninja'd you by 2 hours Alpha.....

As well as their awesome jump packs, Maximini have a range of heads which seem to be perfectly suited for Pre Heresy Thousand Sons. They are called Steam Knight Helmets.

It's great you're continuing with the project. btw have you seen the new forgeworld model of Tyberos, that armour looks old enough to be pre-heresy imo, i'm sure with you're skills you could change the head and shoulders to look pre-heresy. oh and it comes with skulls and those bad-ass lighting claw/chainfists, they look intimedating enough to be night lords.

hi mate here they are
look in the forum on max mini under previews
http://www.maxmini.eu/forum/index.php?board=3.0

Your first Nightlord looks great! Could I ask if the legs are standard or if you converted them as I don't recognise them?

As for third party bits, I doubt GW would stop people from using (insert percentage number) CH bits on their models as their problem is with the company not the hobbyists - if you're concerned though it might be worth giving GW a ring and checking with them as their customer service is normally friendly enough
A big thumbs up for MaxMini from me as well, their stuff is top notch!

I think Bunnygirl asked about 100% scratch built - I was told by a redshirt that there are okay, even encouraged. A bloke in my LGC has a Daemon Prince made entirely from Milliput that I think he uses in Tournies.

Once this army is finished, I might pop down to Lincoln to see them in action as I've been meaning to crash your club for a while now

I think I like Chapterhouse's pre-herasy packs a little better than the one on the right, but that jump pack on the left is really slick!

Nice work on the first night lord, looking pretty sweet. I'll following this blog and good luck. I can't wait to see some pre-heresy 1k sons!

Sadly I've had to drop the 1k Sons half, can't afford both

:(

Sorry I didn't bring up the packs sooner btw, they were only just previewed around the same time as your post :S

Actually I've thought about it and while I will certainally be using the one on the right for my Heresy Armour Vanguard I think the chapterhouse jump-packs are better looking than the one of the left, probably due to the engines having more bulk to the thin engines on the maxmini one on the left.

awe no 1000 sons! i was looking forward to that! still the night lords seem awesome!

I'm surprised, I actually think these are pretty cool-looking. I've yet to like any 3rd-party jump packs, but these looks pretty nice.

Any updates? I am starting a similar army today and I am interested in what you have made so far.

UPGRADE COMPLETE!
HOLY CRAP! Look what I just got emailed and is now about to be casted for my Night Lords

Sweet. Those look great.

Looking sweet!

dude, all this stuff is super bad-ass

that shoulder pads are perfect

Very nice indeed. Its nice that you have the variations there, should make for a very characterful force. Question though Proiteus, are you casting them or is someone else doing that for you?

Wow, these look really good.

If you looked at a post I made on a previous page, I mentioned that a person I know on the web offered to create some for me. I was reluctant to take his offer at first but everyone thought it was too good to pass up so I took it. He send me the picture just yesterday.

Just to let you know i dont think gamesworkshop can ban chapterhouse biz because i saw a model that won a golden daemon on there website that had the same jump pack your using. Also your night lords are going to be sick

VOTE NOW!
Problem with being so creative is that I come up with a lot of possible army concepts. Alongside this Night Lords idea there are 3 others and because I think their all fantastic I want to build them all. However there are two problems first I can’t decide on which one to do first and second is I can only afford to do 2 maybe 3 of them so one will have to scrapped.

So I've setup a thread asking for which of the 4 ideas people like the most, so if you want to see the Night Lords project to survive this little vote off go check it out > http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/347708.page

WHICH ARMY WILL YOU SUPPORT?

Looks like I might leap back into this project after/during my 1k sons scarab occult project and use these guys for my main jump infantry, providing they're not overpriced.

great to see this going

WHY USE A NOISY JUMPBACK WHEN YOU CAN TELEPORT?
Here’s a quick question, given how hard it is to find a pre-heresy looking jump back that aren’t expensive or a lacking in quality. I’ve been considering an alternative…

So what do you think to the idea of my night lords being equipped with GK interceptor teleporter packs, the idea of night lord warriors teleporting around is a frightening concept as you can see or hear them coming so it sounds like something a night lord would consider. Plus it would likely be cheaper in the long run. Or would an night lord army equipped with teleporters look a bit too weird?

Your thoughts?
