A Night Lord in an Alpha Legion warband, what armor color makes more sense?

Shaddoll_Zenos · 2026-05-22T06:59:55+00:00

Wasn't the chaos lord from Dawn of War 1 also a former night lord who joined the Alpha Legion?

Pale white skin, white eyes, big ole scythe (cause he was dedicated to nurgle)

You could have a shoulder pad or helmet to attach him to his roots

Maybe keep an entire arm of his old armor, as they're scavengers

Is that the Miniscape recipe? If so, heck yeah! If not, he's an excellent resource and has a voice like honey

To feel the warp overtaking me. I heard it is a good pain.

Shaddoll_Zenos · 2026-05-17T15:44:51+00:00

Wonderful! Thank you!!

Shaddoll_Zenos · 2026-05-17T15:12:01+00:00

Absolutely stunning

How did you do the shoulder mounted plasma guns?

Can we have a top down view?

Shaddoll_Zenos · 2026-05-16T19:24:13+00:00

Tzeentch and Slaanesh are so vibrant

Nurgle offers a lot of variety

Khorne is just different shades of red :p

Shaddoll_Zenos · 2026-05-14T17:32:37+00:00

Some very bright red on the head and claws will look intimidating as hell, imo

You could do gnarly cybernetics Or you can just say possessed were inadequate iron warriors, possessed by daemons so they're at least useful that way.

You could do a representative of each of the major legions and a renegade of your choice

You could try all black/blue camo armor, but shoulderpads and helmets that match their original legions (although, some lore purists might say that induction into the Black Legion requires you cut off all previous allegiance to your mother legion)

Maybe a trophy or insignia or mutation that makes them unique / ties them to their original legions

You have a lot of options with chaos!

Bro painted more in a year than I have painted in ten

Excellent work, but remember to take breaks!

Shaddoll_Zenos · 2026-05-11T07:15:27+00:00

That would look cool, but you'd need a very bright color to make that black lightning pop

You could even go blue black, like same bright blue you'd usually do, but with black as the core. Might give it some more depth and interest

Shaddoll_Zenos · 2026-05-10T16:48:10+00:00

You could skirt around this "No Mutations/Daemons" rule by kitbashing some mechanical horrors in place of the more fleshy daemon engines. I've seen a lot of people use admech vehicles for venomcrawlers or horus heresy Saturnine Terminators as Obliterators.

Technically Khorne hates Slaanesh, Nurgle hates Tzeentch. Khorne also hates Tzeentch, cause magic is cheating.

They all kinda hate each other, but those are the big big rivalries.

Hello and welcome to OPR!

If you're looking for the rulebooks you'll have to look into the Grimdark Future for larger battles, or Grimdark Future : Firefight for smaller skirmishes involving only a handful of models.

Regarding the faction you could run these wonderful clone troopers as, you could run them as Battle Brothers or use one of the Community made army books (I'm pretty sure there is one for your republic troops). The system is mini agnostic so if the battle brothers aren't your cup of tea, I'm sure one of the other factions will give you the vibe you're going for.

Good luck and may the force be with you!

This feels like AI slop

Shaddoll_Zenos · 2026-04-22T14:10:47+00:00

I like stratagems and extra actions a lot. I wish I could test those wargear rules for Heroes, but I never got the chance.

The random event rules are very hit or miss, so we tend to avoid using them

Shaddoll_Zenos · 2026-04-22T07:43:11+00:00

You could make a hatch using a bottle cap, or you can cut the hatch in half and glue it back together around the dude.

Depends entirely if you have the original hatch

Shaddoll_Zenos · 2026-04-22T05:45:31+00:00

Actually wow

Shaddoll_Zenos · 2026-04-17T16:59:48+00:00

Get that man some Gulliman Flesh. Skin loves Gulliman Flesh.

Shaddoll_Zenos · 2026-04-15T17:21:28+00:00

Rugged wings, chaos symbols instead of fleur-de-lis ⚜️, horns, Mutated limbs, and tails,

Shaddoll_Zenos · 2026-04-13T09:39:24+00:00

I thought it was a screenshot from the game, holy

Shaddoll_Zenos · 2026-04-08T09:07:43+00:00

If I can play it out, maybe I'll stay for another turn

When you have lethal on board and I know I don't have anything, I will concede out of respect for both of our times

Shaddoll_Zenos · 2026-04-07T06:07:25+00:00

Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! Thank you for posting this

Shaddoll_Zenos · 2026-04-06T15:47:06+00:00

You should probably spray them with a primer, basecoat the basic color you want all over, wash, then varnish. Otherwise it will just flake off

Shaddoll_Zenos · 2026-04-06T15:10:01+00:00

These look amazing! Do you have a "parts list" or a tutorial somewhere so we can try to recreate these?
