We will come for you.

Today I am very excited, I just wrote my plan for the next 2 months of  modelling- painting.
Cambridge Games Workshop will be starting in February a tale of many gamers for 40k, 500p each month.
Though Cambridge store and gamers never seem to stick to a campaign for more than 2 months I am still exited and hopeful this will work. My thought of new year was to make a nightlord-red corsair army with first claw, bleeding eyes (raptor unit-very posesed) and huron him self with 20 terminators and 2 units of chaos marines as corsairs. This still might happen. but for now i have decided to make the army purely nightlord ouzing with characters from the book.
Rumor also has it that the chaos space marine book will be broken into 3 books containging 3 legions per book, the first containging night lords.



But my best discovery was a nightlord fan made codex book.
Which you can find here .
have a look and tell me what you think.
  • All nighlords have night vision and cause night fight for turn 1 on a +3. on a +6 for turn 2. If dawn of war its a +5 for nightfight turn 2. 
  • If the nightlords outnumber the enemy they are fearless, if less they can be automatically succeed in escaping from any enemy Sweeping Advances
  • Talos is 150p makes nightlords stuborn has a +4 inv, master crafted str5 power sword, master crafted bolter, makes first claw a scoring unit and steals initiative on a +5.
  • First claw is 5 men and no more for 150p with a +5 inv. each model a character in the story has something special to offer. Mercurian has a heavy bolter, cyrion gives the unit counter attack, variel gives FNP,  xarl has a master crafted bolter that causes rending and has a masive chainsword +2str, uzas has furious charge and rending cc attacks.
  • they can take (terror)drop pods.
To be honest I think they are a bit underprised but we will see that on the table. Maybe I am comparing them to the chaos book and not b.a or g.k books.

Anyway my first 2 months look like this.

and now time for some eye candy.
This is a dread claw I made ages ago still unpainted



and some nightlord troops


So the plan is end of this month to build Talos and first claw. Also before the end of the month i will have painted the terror pod for a forum competition. During febuary i will buy a box of posessed and mix with normal chaos marines. I also need to do some sculpting and casting of raptor heads and claws and jump packs.
I am also working on a large forgeworld space marine, I am hacking him up to make mercurian Nightlord of the first claw with heavy bolter, my favorite weapon in space marine the game.
