Thanks Skalk

Nightlords Lord WIP.

**Begel Dverl**

Delicious.

I mean that in a good way.

**tipios**

Thanks Begel

**Yellowbeard**

Very nice, tipios. The demon head on the chest looks good. Bloodletter? But I don't think those are Scourge wings, mate.

**tipios**

Thanks YB, yes bloodletter, and yes they are Scourge wings

there is 2 types

**inmygravenimage**

Scourge wings look excellent. Not sure on bloodletter head, looks a wee bit bulky, though hard to tell without the termie's arms.

**tipios**

Thanks Graven, The whole body is going to be built up with a spine on the top, so the idea is the termi body is a daemon body

So it might look better then. I then need to do some arms with extra long pointy fingers.

**Skalk Bloodaxe**

Night Lords have always reminded me of Fantasy Undead.

**inmygravenimage**

I have a great old plastic bat, about 30mm, that I'll fling in your bag. Got your goodies, muchas gracias.

**tipios**

Glad you got it

That bat will be very cool thanking you

@skalk - Intresting. Maybe I will look at some fantasy stuff for more ideas

**Hyenajoe**

How are you going to do the spine, GS?
Since you're working on Night Lords, I'll check my bits box (I think I have some interessing stuff for you)

Yes I've started it with GS

ooooooooh intresting, I like the sound of that

**tipios**

Sory no updates:(

....but there is a paint a Deathwatch chap comp. going on at Gravens place

**Squigsquasher**

Aww. bugger. No updates.

Still, the Night Lord is looking good!

**GiraffeX**

Oh tipios you cant give us false hope of an update with painted minis and then give us a link to a comp to paint our own

**tipios**

Ha, I'm in one of those, finding it hard to get on with stuff moments.

**tipios**

Oh I forgot to say here, that thanks to Gitsplitta and yellowbeards FireHawk comp. I am now a DCM

Gits provided it as a special secondary prize

I know I've got many many other things to do, but I really enjoyed doing the Firehawk comp, so could not resist this one.

This evening I spent a couple of hours finding and prepping my take on a Deathwatch marine for Inmygravenimage's comp.

I'm de-chaosing the pads, legs and arms, keeping the skulls inplace for the deathwatch theme.

Cut off the chaos bolt pistol and will replace it with the chaos bolter with a scope, because thats how the Deathwatch chaps like it

**bigfish**

very nicely dechaosed there, looks good so far

**tipios**

Thanks a lot Bigfish

Here's how he looks so far!

**inmygravenimage**

Looking tasty! What chapter is he going to be?

**tipios**

Thanks Graven, I'm thinking Ultra, it depends on which symbol is easiest to GS into the right pad

**tipios**

Some GSing and drilling done.

**Biohazard**

Looking good mate, Ive started building my entry as well. I have an ultra pad if you want it?

**tipios**

Thanks Bio, I've got an ulta pad too, but the U is too weedy. Also I want the skulls on each pad to match so I need to use these chaos ones.

What chapter are you going for?

**Biohazard**

Either Scythes of the Emperor or Star Phantoms to tie in with the rest of my guys. I havent really decided yet.

**tipios**

Ahh yes the Star Phantoms, if you did a sholder pad with the skulls hourglass symbol protruding that would be cool

but scthes would be intresting too

**Biohazard**

Scythes would be quite fluffy as they sent a lot of marines to the DW. The SP are my main Imperial force at the min though so I think I will go with them for now and build a Scythe later as I have quite a few DW pads.

Im looking at how to do the Star Phantoms hourglass at this very minute. Your use of the chaos pads gave me an idea

**tipios**

Yes, I can see how you could use one of those chaos skull pads

I'm sure you can puul it off

**Biohazard**

First attempts arent too greta as I cant find my tweezers and my sausage like fingers are no god for stuff this fiddly

Thanks for the idea buddy
