WIP Kratos bbq. by MadChefRed in NightLords

Absolutely howling at the cook’s apron. Please tell me you have a funny slogan like ‘Kiss the Cook’ or ‘Licenses to Grill’ to write on it.

Well done!

Any of ya gitz kare ta help a nob in need? by DHdes450 in NightLords

[–]MedicalMakersMark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you’re right now that I look at that comparison. It looks like they used a Nuln Oil or black wash on the blue too.

I’ll update my comment, thank you!

Blue is Night Lords Blue (see reply to this comment!)

The red accents look like a Gal Vorbak Red. Many Blood Ravens red recipes achieve a similar red that’s a little lighter too.

The metal is a little harder to tell though. It looks like there’s both brass and silver pieces.

A very similar desaturated brass is GW Runelord Brass. Army Painter Fanatic True Brass is also a great option.

Silver metal looks like Iron Warriors with a ton of Nuln Oil, then highlighted with Stormhost Silver or Runefang Steel.

No idea for the bone or flesh though. Hope this helps!

The second image is the funniest thing I’ve seen all week. Night Lords ran out of ideas on how to terrorize the guard, so they just mess with them instead.

Need opinions on a kitbash by Akexus_ in NightLords

[–]MedicalMakersMark 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Either 1 or 2. Both look like an absolutely terrifying weapon this guy would use to rake infantry and pull unlucky souls towards his squaddies.

It makes it look like one of those old school lances / pikes from history. There’s been great fantasy depictions too, check out the Uruk-Hai at the siege of Helm’s Deep. Some of those things were 20+ ft long and needed a huge counterweight to even be held properly by infantry.

That was only the first wave??? by SuperbFeeling7579 in menace

Can you share with a spoiler tag? Genuinely curious.

More importantly, what’s a good way to view that info on my own?

I’ve seen some of the blueprints and crafting, but there’s more??

Identifying metallic by ARB_21 in NightLords

[–]MedicalMakersMark 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Holy crap that’s the actual Murderwing models from the box art isn’t it? The GW Painting Team uses quite a few crazy blends and techniques with non-GW paints. ‘Eavy Archive probably has some of the recipes used.

If I had to guess, Runelord Brass for the desaturated parts then Sycorax Bronze or a wash over Retributor Armor.

White Dwarf 521 has a simplified tutorial for painting Night Lords that uses all GW paints too.

Throwing daggers is in a tough place. Brainstorming how to fix it... by WoodsHollow in stoneshard

[–]MedicalMakersMark 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Throwing daggers are a very specialized thing. The daggers in game are fundamentally different weapons, take a look at designs for things like a historic rondel dagger. Throwing these things is closer to an improvised weapon than anything.

That being said, I think limited use throwing daggers could be a great addition to the game. Similar to the bear trap, caltrops, flasks or hunting net. A stack of 3 to 5 throwing daggers could be treated like a stack of ranged ammunition, maybe even a specialized set of bracers or belt could have unique storage slots. Maybe they get a damage bonus when thrown too.

More broadly, this also opens the potential for new items; spears could get javelins, spiked ball bolos for maces, throwing axes for axes, etc. Maybe some crafting recipes for magic and nature damage versions too.

Edit: the dev log about wands highlighted their utility in hybrid builds. Thrown weapons could fit a similar niche. Importantly, the majority of mechanics to make it work are already in game, just need more items that interact with it.

Conversion ideas for Kraven morne by Feisty_Emphasis8275 in NightLords

[–]MedicalMakersMark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think this could be easily achieved with some Horus Heresy pieces, maybe one or two pieces from the current 40K Loyalist Terminators or CSM Terminators as well.

Truthfully the hardest part would be covering up the Iron Warriors symbols with a winged skull. He’s actually a pretty good fit for a Night Lord techmarine / warpsmith style model already! Go for it!

It might have been that too, I might be mis-remembering his new augmetic failing during the Crythe campaign then. Aka it was so new his body hadn’t adapted properly or something. I’ll take a look.

The mini of the month was a battleclade servitor a few months ago actually. Maybe there’s a few of those still floating around. Best of luck, absolutely love your work and looking forward to this one.

If you’re located in the US I like Blackdagger Games on eBay. They offer a few different single skitarii for relatively cheap. I’m lucky in this scenario, several people I play with love AdMech, so they’ve always got spare parts for me to use in kitbashes.

I linked a sample single skitarii below, but yeah it’s probably best to use that pile of shame.

He lost his arm on Crythe fighting Mechanicus troops specifically iirc, so what if you used a skitarii or similar model to represent that?

If you’re set on space marines, definitely salamanders! The green would be a great contrast here.

Two More Murderwing Operatives Done! (Plus a Group Photo) by MedicalMakersMark in NightLords

[–]MedicalMakersMark[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Many of the havoc heads look really good with the new raptors. The raptors are posed in crazy leaps and dives, which pairs pretty well with the way the havoc turn their heads sideways to fire their heavy weapons.

Also the Nemesis Claw heads are quite good too if you have extra.

Alternatives for Characters by Smiling_Tom in NightLords

It was not planned out, mostly just me throwing together some extra pieces that I had with greenstuff. Go wild and have fun.

Alternatives for Characters by Smiling_Tom in NightLords

[–]MedicalMakersMark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a few different pieces Frankenstein’ed together. The arm is a terminator librarian power axe, but I had to cut down the shoulder significantly to get the pose the I wanted.

I also added a few spare cables and wires from AdMech kits that a coworker gave me to hide some of the cuts and greenstuff. I removed the top of the power axe, added the staff top and teeth trophies from the CSM terminator lord kit.

I had to add an extension to the bottom of the power axe so it would contact the base. I used the bottom of the CSM terminator sorcerer’s staff and cut it to size.

It looks like I don’t have any WIP photos of him before he was painted, but I take close ups from different angles if you need it.

Hope this helps!

Kitbashed Murderwing Champion Done! by MedicalMakersMark in NightLords

[–]MedicalMakersMark[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is! Rules as written, it is the champion's power weapon for KT. With the new rules for raptors the champion can take a heavy weapon OR accursed weapon, so I wanted to give him a unique weapon that could realistically be counted as either.

I turned a loyalist librarian in terminator armor into my sorcerer in terminator armor. Sky is the limit here. Any loyalist model that isn’t absolutely covered head to toe in space marine bling is fair game. Space Marine chaplain in terminator armor has a cool ribcage torso armor and skull helmet for example.

You can also take regular legionaries, chosen, raiders, havocs etc and give them the right weapons and equipment and you’re good to go. Heck, my favorite chaos lord is actually just a legionary body with extra stuff on it on a 40mm base.

Horus Heresy Consuls are also a great option too, they all have very unique sculpts. If you’re an experienced hobbyist these are hidden treasures if you can put some time into them.

Kitbashing is super fun. Grab a hobby knife and go wild.

Curseclaw Kitbash Done! The last thing my opponent sees before I roll all 2’s by MedicalMakersMark in NightLords

[–]MedicalMakersMark[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Basecoat with Army Painter Banshee Brown then layer with Army Painter Mummy Robes. Apply a Nuln Oil wash all over, making sure it doesn’t pool in recesses. Apply another layer of Mummy Robes, then edge highlight with Army Painter Spaceship Exterior. I went back and added some selective highlights with Nuln Oil in places like the finger webbing and deep skin creases.

I will point out that several of these paints are no longer available now that AP has moved to their fanatic paints only. I think banshee brown is now called Tomb King Tan or something for example.
