Incoming Reinforcements

So I'm back again! And I have been busy! One of my good friends is demanding a bruising from the Sons of the Night Haunter and as such it is full steam ahead to get a 1000 pt list painted up to face off against his Space Pups... 

So I've sat down and put pen to paper (or rather pushed a load of buttons thanks to Quartermaster) and this is the current list I'm working towards 

Sakraal 'The Butcher' (Khârn the Betrayer)

The Condemned (6 Khorne Berzerkers): + 1 Berzerker Champion (bolt pistol; lightning claw) 

First Claw (4 Chaos Space Marines): 4× close combat weapon; meltagun; + 1 Aspiring Champion (bolt pistol; power fist)
• Chaos Rhino 

Second Claw (4 Chaos Space Marines): 4× close combat weapon; flamer; + 1 Aspiring Champion (bolt pistol; power weapon)
• Chaos Rhino

Murderous Intent (Chaos Land Raider): dirge caster

Relentless Fury (Sicaran Battle Tank): Sponson Heavy Bolters

This drops in at a point shy of the 1000 mark and I hope will be a nasty army to face across the table, we've always had pretty brutal games and I don't expect this to be any different.

So here are the first shots of 'First Claw' no... not 'The' First Claw...

There is a nice group shot of them, need to do the bases, which shouldn't take too long as it's a nice simple colour scheme.

Not sure about the fella on our left he looks very awkward... But hey he'll do for now... I decided to add a little extra in that they all have a bronze knee pad, this is to help associate the Chapter together on the field 

I'm very happy with the post of the guy on our right, I think he oozes character and definitely looks ready to 'stick you with the pointy bit' of his dagger. Plan on teaching myself how to add heat effects to spice up the other guy's melta.

Lots of touch up needed here but this is the Squad Leader, those 'eagle-eyed' will notice he has a non forge world part 'boo-hiss' but it's such a nice power fist it would have been rude not too...

So you know how I said I'd been busy right? 

Massively work in progress needs a lot of touching up and a few more washes but it's a start...

It's already started to be 'Night Lordsified' with the skulls and chains, I'm impatiently waiting for them to release some Brass Etch for the VIII Legion to add the Legion symbol and trying to decide should the vehicles name 'Relentless Fury' be in low gothic or in Nostramun Runes or maybe both...

Obligatory family shot! So erm yeah until next time? 

The Condemned

So here we are again and I hope you are all sat down as you're all in for a rather nasty shock...

Yes it's true, your eyes do not deceive you! I have finally put paint to brush and brush to model and started the process of actually painting my Night Lords.

I present to you The Condemned, which in games set during the Horus Heresy will be used as a Night Lords Terror Squad and in games set after will be used as Khorne Bezerkers. 

The background of this unit is that they're made up of the Astartes that have angered the Chapter Master and as such he has sentenced them to a sinner's death, banded together they are seen as completely expendable and as such are used as shock troops by Mordus to break through the Enemy lines. 

I estimate that the unit is about 50% painted, what you see here is the bases complete and the base colours picked out, now the details just need to be filled in, but unfortunately that's the long bit...

As said before its all the details that need finishing now, I'm sure I'll get round to adding some more trophies at some point, but until next time

Caio!
