just wanted to nudge back some^^ of that stereotypical comment^^ no offence taken^^

will you be using washes on those guys? the red could use a bit of help i think to pop some more. also the upper part of the backpack... there is one SM that has also iceblue (?) in the three deepening above the small skull... i am not so sure about the color there...black as like the otrhers looks more fitting there...(by the way to the last pic i am referring....)


as for too much different colors in a chapter....if i ever come to finish some charcter models of my SM chapter i will refrain from the typical red/green and blue and also black for my chappy/tech and libby...i even had not done my apothecarious done in white...as i think any good and trying to be helpful medic doesn´t want to stand out in a crowd so much that he could be easily picked out...so he is just a tad fairer in color than my standard marines...i try to make these psecials just a tad stronger in color or lesser in color to make them look somewhat off the chart...

All pity choked with custom of fell deeds:
And Caesar's spirit, ranging for revenge,
With Ate by his side come hot from hell,
Shall in these confines with a monarch's voice
Cry 'Havoc,' and let slip the dogs of war;
That this foul deed shall smell above the earth
With carrion men, groaning for burial.

Try as I might, I had to say something. Sorry.

OT, nice work. I really like what you did with the teleporty guys. Adds a really unique element. Top stuff.

Thanks,

I wanted to post some picts, the wash not sure the other 6 packs arrived this morning, as for the red what do you think?

I put tin bitz on the edges of the poldrons.

i would give the red batwings a wash of baal red at least...the dark blue i think works as is. and of course i would add a wash of badabblack or even devlan mud to the weapons...for now the silver looks very silvery^^

I put tin bitz on the edges of the poldrons

from the pics i am sad but i cant tell...

If I might make a suggestion with regard to the red, I think a very light purple wash will really bring out the brightness of it.

Can I just ask, what kind of camera are you taking your pics with?

oh and forgott to say the skulls on shoulderpads and knees look very cool!

Nice work I love the Night Lords

Try a blue wash to tone down the reds, it might then help it tie in with the armour, also it has something to do with the colour wheel thingy.

I tried it on my FW dreads banner and it came out much better than using black.

thanks guys now going sligtly off topic.

I am so gonna have to do a Thor Night Lord as commander, with or without Terminator armour? Now that is the question.

And do I need to revert back to the Codex of Chaos?

Why don't you do a counts-as mephiston? Never played with him or against him but he sounds pretty dangerous.

Blast it, codex in bedroom and 50 is on...... oooh ad break cool.

OK I want to bounce around some Ideas for a Night Lords Thor.

Power Armoured or TDA?

Good so he gave you some non-spiky chaos kneepads then? lol only teasing.
I like your idea of doing a Thor style model. In my minds eye, Thor isnt really chunky in an armoured way, I would say SM armour, maybe Sanguinary Guard torso for musculature and use Death Company Thunder hammer, but lop off the Hammer head and go for something chunky like a Coteaz hammer Dwarf Hammers or something bigger.
Scibor do nice helms, either use maruader or catachan arms if you wanna go bare armed, and Warriors of Chaos or GS yourself a nice cloak. The NightLords pads would look really sweet too, the red and dark colours would look ace.

I'll get my friend Bryan Steele to work on the cloak his stuff can be found ...... http://www.ursasden.com/ <- There

The poor doctors have 3 days to see 5 days worth of people.

Yesterday I ordered 5 Mk 5 marines to be used as first claw. need to find a BA power sword....

Why a BA one? If you want a power sword with winged pommel I have the mighty one from Master of the Ravenwing spare.

PM sent.

I've used it on metals and plastics with acrylics and enamels. Spray, leave for 10 minutes, scrub with a toothbrush (preferably an old one, or someone else's), rinse. On a couple of old, multiple enamel layered guys I needed to do a second go to get it all off.

And it works.

First off I have to say I love those Dakka mugs =o]


Second of all you answered my second question which was "Are you going to do 10th claw?" (BTW Talos doesn't have his apothacary gear anymore, it was lost a while back) Have you seen the art work that was posted on ADB's blog? If not I suggest looking at it, it's stunning artwork. Do you plan on doing everyone from 10th claw? or just Talos?

Edit, BTW IMHO Night Lords look ace in MkII armour

Third of all, Great plog, I can't wait to see more. You painting looks nice and clean especially the lightening bolts. Just please don't use the bat-heads. That was the worst idea GW ever came up with. I agree with Aaron when he says they should never be spoken of again.


Bat Shoulder pads = great idea
Bat helmets = me on telling how bad they are.

First thanks, and im just going to use the pouches (thats in the first book) I might just cut off the bats bits for the helms.

Since I dont have a Sons of Medusa blog here, here are 2 minis I did the other week and day while waiting on parts.
