Yep. That it does.

Much more better (yeah, I know, that's not *proper* English, that's called an "emphasis" ) with paint !!! Love the red !

I wish you'd stop tempting the loyalist I am with such an absurd quantity of cool looking traitors

I come to Dakka to get away from the abundance of Night Lords on B&C these days, now what do I see? Traitors everywhere!

It's hard to complain too much when they look that good, though. Your terror markings, on both the Praetor and Moritat are really good.

That Riptide's pretty awesome, too, for a piece of filthy xenos tech.

Thanks for the comments guys! The NL are gonna be my main project after my Tau (which only need 40 more Kroot to be complete).

Thanks for looking,

Lucarikx

Hey guys! Small update, this time with Shadowsun!



I really like her rules, so I hope she looks good while kicking butt on the tabletop

Thanks for looking,

Lucarikx

Sup guys! I redid Shadowsun's face, as it looked too 'catlike' before.



Tell me what you think!

Lucarikx

Hey guys!

I've had these two for a while, I just need to get around to converting them! I present my 2 Night Lord Contemptors, Phobos and Deimos.





Lucarikx

Hey guys! Almost done with Contemptor 1!









Thanks for looking!

Lucarikx

That's rather frightening.

Thanks Gits!

Its been about 2 weeks since I've updated, but I haven't forgotten about this thread at all! I'm prepping for Finals, but after that I'll be heading to the Alamo GT in May! If anyone else is going, just look for the weathered Tau and a shirt with Tauriffic on it

I've got some Kroot to show off soon, but here's a little project of mine that I really enjoyed doing!













It's my Ordos Xenos Inquisitor! I wanted to do something silly with the Servo-Skulls, so I thought that Orks would be the best choice

Thanks for looking, and as always please leave feedback!

Edit: I just noticed this was the 100th reply to the thread!

Lucarikx

LOVE those ork servo skulls! Simply brilliant. Nicely done Luc.

Thanks Gits! I wanted to make them all Ork heads, but I couldn't find another "eye" piece. Those four models are probably one of the most useful units I've used so far in the game!

Here's a group shot of my HQs for Alamo! Buff Commander, Ethereal, Inquisitor, and both Rune Priests!



Lucarikx

Fantastic looking group! You're going to make quite a splash with that selection of models to be sure.

I plan to

Ok, long few hours and I got quite a bit done!

Finished 22 Kroot to a 3 color standard(12 still need basic basing):



Here's what they'll look like when I get around to detailing all of them:



Got my Henchmen for my Inquisitor done:



And last but not least, touched up some NL! These were primarily painted by a good friend of mine, but I did some touchups here and there. Not much to change, though!



Thanks for looking! I'm gonna be doing some practice games at the LGS tomorrow, so I'll definitely report on how that goes.

Lucarikx

Everything's looking good! Look forward to the report from your escapades.

Thanks Gits! I have no pics sadly, but I did get in some good games! I played against my friends Daemon list, which composed of a Keeper of Secrets, 4 squads of 15 Plaguebearers, 4 Herlads of Nurgle with FNP (one on Palaquin and holding the Grimiore), and 3 Slaanesh Princes.

The first game was Big Guns w/ 3 objective with Vanguard deployment. The game went on 7 turns, but it managed to get a victory after killing all the DPs and sending my Skyray to contest last minute. My Burst Riptide failed every Nova check that game and brought himself down to 1 wound! The game ended 9-5 in my favor.

The second game we played was Relic and the long deployment. I got extremely lucky with JoTWW on my Rune Priest and managed to kill the Keeper and a Prince in one shot! I ended up having to charge all my Riptides into combat to keep him from the Relic, as I couldn't kill all the Plaguebearers in time. I got a 2-1 victory from the Secondaries at the end.

I'm currently basing all of my models ATM, so I'll post pictures of the entire army (fully painted and based!) soon.

Thanks for looking,

Lucarikx

Sounds like a couple of great games. Congrats on going 2-0 vs Demons... they're a tough nut to crack.

Couldn't agree more, Gits! My opponent absolutely refused fail his 5+ invs and FNP. I did 50~ wounds to one Plaguebearer squad and he only lost 4!

Ok, now for the fun part - I finished the army (well, except for 1 Drop Pod, but that'll be done soon)! I can't say how happy I am with it.... I'm glad I found a color scheme I was finally happy with. Without further ado, here are the pictures!



















Can't believe I finished it over the weekend....... Thanks for looking and as always, leave feedback!

Lucarikx

Congratulations! That's a major accomplishment!

Thanks Gits.

I'm not sure on what to paint up next..... Maybe a display board for this army?

Lucarikx

Any fluff reason I've missed for the Chaos / Tau alliance ???

Great looking army anyway

Thanks Yggs! For one, I had all the models painted. The fluff explanation is mostly due to the fact that my Tau are considered renegades by the rest of the Empire (they are part of the Farsight Enclave), and we wanted show the Empire the truth about the Ethereals We found the Night Lords quite useful in, uh, motivating, some of the worlds we invade to join us. The Inquisitor is a Radical of course, hiding in the shadows to see if there might be a Tau civil war!

I'd also like to mention that I used the GW texture paint to base most of my models. I didn't think it looked too good to start out with, but for the smaller models it works great! Just a Agrax wash and some flock on top made it look exactly like if I had used sand. Would recommend!

Lucarikx

Hey guys, quick update. I'm making markerlight tokens right now, what do you guys think?



Lucarikx

How big is that?

Its poker chip sized! I have a bunch of em, I just need to paint them up.

Lucarikx

OK, that's what I thought. My only concern is that it basically still looks like a poker chip. If you're going to bother pating them... make them look like something that isn't a poker chip.

True! I have a bunch of clear blue aquarium rocks I usually use, but I was thinking about using these. Should I just stick to what I was using before?

Lucarikx

If you could cook up something about the size of a dime that was hand painted... I think it would be awesome.

Hmm..... I'll look into it!
