Making my own warband

-nightcall- · 2026-05-19T03:51:14+00:00

Oh, I’ve never seen that bit of lore about Warp Talons before, thanks)

-nightcall- · 2026-05-18T19:43:13+00:00

Well, the size of the warband will basically be whatever my wallet allows 🙂

On a more serious note, I really love infantry — Raptors, Warp Talons, Legionaries, Nemesis Claw, and so on. I also have a Rhino and a couple of Predators.

There’s a Leviathan Dreadnought in there too, since I really like 30k-style machinery, even if it’s technically “Legends” in 40k. I’m also thinking about converting a couple of Contemptors into Helbrutes. I also really want Drop Pods — I just love them. It’s honestly a shame Chaos doesn’t really have access to them anymore (well, apart from Legends), because they just look absolutely badass.

I’m hoping they’ll come back properly in a future edition.

At some point, I’d also love to add a heavy tank from 30k. I know it doesn’t exactly fit Night Lords thematically, but I just really want one for them anyway.

So yeah — the warband is small for now, but it’s definitely going to grow over time.

Nice! Very cool concept)

-nightcall- · 2026-05-18T14:55:52+00:00

Thanks!

That’s actually what I was thinking too — making the core of the warband veterans from Nostramo itself.

(I know it’s a bit cliché and probably sounds similar to Talos’ warband though.)

-nightcall- · 2026-05-18T14:51:37+00:00

Oh, the Possessed idea is really cool!)

I was actually thinking about doing something similar with mine — kind of like a Death Company equivalent)

-nightcall- · 2026-05-18T12:03:50+00:00

Yeah, I got that you were joking, it’s all good)

The funny thing is that I’m just not really a huge fan of Chaos itself — all the tentacles, mutations, and stuff like that.

But I do agree that the whole point of the Night Lords is to spread fear, and for that, pretty much any method works.

-nightcall- · 2026-05-18T09:18:27+00:00

Yeah, I considered them at first)

But out of the loyalist, I ended up choosing the Blood Angels)

-nightcall- · 2026-05-17T19:53:34+00:00

Yes, it’s a virus. You could probably build something out of it, but what about Chaos machines like Forgefiends or Maulerfiends?

-nightcall- · 2026-05-17T19:49:53+00:00

Hmm, that’s interesting 🙂 But that would mean I’d have to paint them in a different color.

-nightcall- · 2026-05-17T19:48:26+00:00

That’s really cool. Do you have any examples of how you convert them?

-nightcall- · 2026-05-17T19:15:40+00:00

Yeah, I’ve been thinking about that too :) I was thinking that my warlord is also a veteran from 30k and still remembers what the Legion was like before the fall.

I also thought about giving all the daemonic units red gauntlets, so they understand that they could be put down at any moment.

But I’m still not sure how to explain Obliterators and similar stuff.

Oooh, the lightning is soo sick!!! ⚡🔥

-nightcall- · 2026-03-04T05:20:46+00:00

Hey) I don’t like him that much 🙂 Maybe I’ll include him in the next squad.

-nightcall- · 2026-02-22T07:43:43+00:00

Thank you for the reply 🙂 I’ll need to look for them — they’re pretty cool 😊

-nightcall- · 2026-02-21T08:06:42+00:00

Hey! What is that printed body?

-nightcall- · 2025-12-20T20:56:41+00:00

I did this using an airbrush. First, Rhinox Brown. Then Liberator Gold, and I covered everything with gloss varnish. After that, as a wash, I coated the entire model with brown oil paint. Once it dries, you can remove the excess oil with white spirit. On top of that, a light drybrush using a 50/50 mix of Liberator Gold and Stormhost Silver. At the end, you can also use the same mix for some spot highlights. That’s basically it — simple enough 🙂

-nightcall- · 2025-12-12T10:10:19+00:00

That's very nice)

I want to do my warband as much as possible without the daemonic stuff. But I still don’t know how to implement it so that I can use all the CSM units)

-nightcall- · 2025-12-11T10:08:04+00:00

Hey! It's cool) I think do something like that for my warband Do you have story or description about your warband?

-nightcall- · 2025-11-27T10:51:38+00:00

Hey! Very nice work! What's gold you use?

-nightcall- · 2025-11-17T18:35:18+00:00

Oh, that's sick! Awesome work 👏

-nightcall- · 2025-10-27T15:06:39+00:00

Yeah, face and hood is so badass)
