4 years of 40k. Painted armies and grey models , armies in the pipeline. Part 3

I already have a chaos Marine Army but after reading more and more about the nightlords I felt compeled to create them on the table top. My first approch was to create them with space marine , chaos space marine and fantasy graveguard bits. Winged helmets and no demons was the plan. Does this make sence?


After reading Soul Hunter and Blood Reaver I reduced the winged helmets.




As you can see in all three pieces of book cover artwork, the spikey helmets are not used.
So my second attempts had less winged helmets.

Unfortunatly this army has only 1 painted rhino. And 15 nightlord marines half painted.



I have started working on the group of 6 main characters but I have lost my momentum and now this army is on freeze. Hopefully this summer I will get a few more done with a nice codex to back me up.
I am wating for the third book of the series to come out (void stalker- next month ) and new codex, then I will decide on my list. At this point it seems a unit of chosen 2 units of demonic raptors and pods. This is a justified army on hold.

Next up is an army mostly complete but need some finishing touches and a few additions, my Fire Hawks.



















Still need to make a chaplain, finish the vehicles and maybe add some units where needed.
Pretty much though done.

Next come the nightlords.

My Tribute to 25 years of 40k.

This is what I painted for the store.
Its 3rd edition.
it was a fast paint job, but I am quite happy about the base, it looks a lot like the artwork.

4 years of 40k. Painted armies and grey models , armies in the pipeline. Part 1

First of all I have only been painting playing 40k for 4 years the previous 2 I only painted played Lizardmen, nothing else for me existed.
1st 40k Army I ever did was a slanesh themed space marine army. We were supposed to do a tale of 4 gamers all chaos marine but with a diferent god. Only I finished the army the others called quits.
1750p of slannesh







After that I spread out to the orks
for 40k in 40min
warboss/lootas/ nobs/ greatchin
I realy enjoy them so I expanded on my ork,

Chlick to see the freehand I did on the coca cola bottle.






If that was not enough I want to make my orks into a flying army.
So I made parashute boyz.
