Horus Heresy Night Lords

Actually feels quite sad that I started this project almost 2 years ago and it’s not complete. Well, not point wallowing in self pity, best just get on. I thought I would drop a quick update, almost a early new years resolution to get projects done and update them on here more often.

There’s more built than I have shown and there’s also some paint on some!

Got this squad fully built tonight. I wanted to make sure the models were appropriately equipped, so the bolt pistols, grenades etc are modelled on them. Also added some ‘trophies of judgement’ to the sergeant.

I also needed to use some filler on the gaps on the studded shoulder pad.

Work has been fairly hectic this week, so haven’t had the energy to get much done. Did complete this guy today though.

The plan for this project was to have it all built before I started painting. I’m nearly there, but I may start to get paint on some infantry before I finish the dreadnoughts and characters. The Terror Squad are proving tricky at the moment as I’m struggling with a couple of the poses. I’ve put the models to one side for now and cracked on with an easier one.

Managed to get the next five breachers off the sprues, clean up, drilled and partly assembled tonight. A very productive evening of hobby work!

These Breachers had been sitting on the desk, barely started for about a month now so I thought it was high time I got them done. It’s slow progress with all the cleaning, drilling and pinning. The newer FW resin is very much better with a better cast and a lot less to clean up. 

The shield arm and shoulder pads are just blu-tacked on for now for ease of painting. Five down, five to go.

I also built the new Esoterist Consul model. A simple head swap for something more Night Lords was definitely in order.
