Right then, guys, I've got a problem/challenge for you. I have recently become a pre-heresy Night Lords player, and like many who dabble in that era of the 40k verse I am hankering to add a Primarch model to my army. However, I am stuck for ideas on how best to do this. I was thinking something along the lines of;

  • Chaos Terminator lord's Lightning Claws and legs (biggerised using Greenstuff, plasticard, and most likely lots of swearing).

  • Astorath the Grim's torso and head, with the Blood drop removed.

  • Chaos Raptor's jump pack.


  • It seems to me like a sound plan, but it just lacks a little...I don't know, something. He is the Dark King after all. I won't pretend I'm a great converter or anything, but I have a tendancy not to give up when it would probably be sound and so will try anything once. I need ideas, thoughts, etcetera etcetera-anything you can offer will be appreciated.
    Help me Dakka Dakka, you're my only hope!

    Night Haunter also had a cape covered with black feathers (mentioned in Soul Hunter).

    Gathering the Informations.

    I'd suggest you read ADB's "Savage Weapons" story from the Age of Darkness anthology. He does a pretty good description of Curze.

    Thanks guys-Kan, I will do just that. Although, intergrating the cape and jump pack may be a problem-anyone got any thoughts on how I could do it? Thanks.

    I'm also working on a Konrad Curze mini. I'm actually going to modify some of the Lightning claws from the Raptors set for his claws (that set also has a lot of good bits you can use with the night Lords, especially the chain swords which you can make into Nostraman Chainglaives). A common misconception is that Curze had a jump pack, but in all actuality, he doesnt have one. I've contacted Forgeworld about Curze's rules in Book 2: Massacre, and they confirmed that he does not have a jump pack, but is so incredibly agile and fast that he moves as Jump Infantry. This would eliminate the problem of the cape and the pack. Just a side note to keep in mind.
