A quick update

Busy, busy, busy.

Lots of stuff going on lately, work is going well and my daughter is growing like a weed.

I've also had a spike in commissions, about which I'm certainly not complaining.

Anyways, here is one of the latest pieces I've finished, a vicious Chaos Lord of the Night Lords Legion. I had fun painting the lightning strikes and the "old school" legion symbol on the shoulder pad.






I hope you like him.

Cheers
Dave

  1. Fantastic work as always! I love what you did with the wings and backpack, it's very original.

    I may have to pilfer the concept.

  2. Most definitely people will loot your idea, but of course, your ideas are always good!

    I like how your red blends to blue or blue blends to red? Haha, they look really great!

  3. Very impressive and nice use of various kit parts. It's given me a different idea to do him perched like a gargoyle on the side of a building or something.

  4. Beautiful! Night Lords done well are spectacular.

  5. Awesome wings. The helmet also helps- but the wings! Very cool!

  6. Night Lords were my first fully painted army so I can appreciate all the blue blending. (You may have seen them on BoLS, I think BigRed owns them now.) You've also managed to add red while avoiding the "superman syndrome" that so often happens. (What is it about poor red? Add green and it's "christmas syndrome".)

    The white helmet not only pulls from the Night Lords mythos, but helps balance and accentuate the lightning bolts. Altogether a well blended visual on a paintscheme that is not usually subtle.

  7. I actually quite like the lightning. Its cheesy in this totally awesome way.

  8. Apart from the gold ending up looking a bit too 'brassy', that is one hell of a job.

    The blue blends, the blue blends into the red, the bone, the freehand icon and the lightning are simply amazing. As is the entire conversion + his pose.

    You make me want to work harder on my Night Lords. :)

  9. Excellent job, as always.

    Loved the wings, in special the trancision from red to blues!

  10. Thanks guys!

    It's been a while since I painted any Night Lords, so I'm happy with how the lightning and skull turned out.

    Cheers

  11. Awesome conversion, excellent colors and a cool pose to boot..

  12. Looks pretty average. The static pose + bland head doesn't do justice to the elaborate wings

  13. That is fantastic. It's a very straightforward execution of the classic studio Night Lords scheme - which is so difficult to make look good. More often than not people fluff the lightning and make it look like white zigzags.

  14. I know where that base is from. I painted the same one on a Chaos mini for my last Astronomi-con army.

  15. Dude, awesome work! I am currently working on my Night Lords army, and wanted to know if you had a tutorial for this mini? mostly just what bitz you used, like the claws, the chest bones and the wings. great job man, love it.
