About the Project

Hey everyone, thanks for calling by. This is my Night Lords Chaos Space Marines army for Warhammer 40,000 Eight Edition. So far it is one half of Shadowspear but will be expanded upon down the line. It's my third Chaos Space Marine army since I started the game twenty-two years ago. The aim is to do it expediently to a tabletop or better than tabletop standard. Unlike some of my previous project logs this will have more a tutoring element incorporated. Thanks for reading!

It has been a while since I updated this, and I have taken a break indeed from working on my Night Lords to give attention to my other smaller projects. This Forge Fiend was completed a while back and I have meant to post up pictures of it sooner. I am hoping to get back to my Nightlords sooner rather than later. Enjoy!

I had a blast finishing the chaos Lord but either the extra details I made mistakes and had to put more work into him.

 

At the bottom are close ups  of my favourite details. I’m very happy with this guy.

This is the Forgefiend I have been working on for the last couple of days. It’s a great model and fun to paint, despite the tiny numerous mistakes in making.

 

I think he looks great and it’s fun to be working on another Daemon Engine again so soon

Not much to say other than I put the gold down and did washed, as well as comparison photos of the same models and the conversions I did. Short and sweet!

Entry 39: Initial Work on Hellbrute

A few years ago when the Daemon Engines came out I had mixed feelings about them. Now that time has passed and I have started work on this model, which admittedly has been on the backburner for too long, I have to say I really like them. They will a unique Chaos aspect of the Traitor Legions that was kind of missing since Epic 40,000 all those years ago.

 

And who cares if they kind of look like dino-bots? Since when were Transformers not cool?

 

I furiously drybrushed this guy with gold paint before realising the previous purple paint job was still showing through. I gave him another coat of the same gold mixed with Lahmia medium. A little but is still showing through after an Agrax Earthshade wash but since I will be painting over some of this again with other colours it is a non issue.

 

One of the heads has a little progress while some of the weapons still need the Agrax Earthshade wash. I think it looks cool already even though I have not blocked in the base colours yet.

Entry 38: Chaos Lord half finished.

The rebased, repainted and reappropriated Chaos Lord from the old Dark Vengeance set has had significant work done this morning. Some details are finished, the gold needs touching up, and the rest of the model is ready to be finished off. Washes, touches and highlights need to be done and he will be ready for basing and I can call him finished.

 

With most of the unfinished details have their block colours done its hard to admit that he does not look great in the photos. Seeing the model in person is a different matter. It will be fun to finish him and throw up the completed pictures.

This is my Night Lords blue power armour technique. The first image is each stage step by step on four almost identical models. Also this is a handy tool if you have old paints or new paints and want to convert anything:

 

https://www.dakkadakka.com/wiki/en/Paint_Range_Compatibility_Chart

 

Stage 1: Vallejo Night Blue

 

Stage 2: Mordian Blue (Old GW) or Macragge Blue (New GW)

 

Stage 3: 40/60 mix of Water and Nuln Oil

 

Stage 4: Edge highlight of slightly, slightly, watered down Alaitoc Blue

 

Each stage start to finish.Each stage start to finish.
Apply Vallejo Night Blue. This stuff is thick and pigmenty so you need to add more than the normal amount of water. Apply Vallejo Night Blue. This stuff is thick and pigmenty so you need to add more than the normal amount of water.

Alaitoc Blue around the edges but leaving the recesses be. This needs a little water added to it. There is also a divot I made in the model by accident which I have hilighted around.Alaitoc Blue around the edges but leaving the recesses be. This needs a little water added to it.

Enjoy my finished venomcrawler. He was intimidating at first but it was a blast and I’m happy with the end result
