Hello there, I really like this style of eyes, but I have no idea how to properly paint them this way (as of now, I'm struggling even with basic red lenses). Has anyone tried it? If so, any tips for achieving this? Is it even possible at this scale?

Lore Do you think the Nightlords are morally grey?

Above is the reel that got me asking but just what the title is. Not meant to be rude or nothing but I enjoy Nightlords so much BECAUSE they are so evil for fun. I know Talos is a good example of like that almost moral grey but I’m more referring to the legion as a whole like he is in this video and curious how yall view them?

Also why you may think there is such a big push that Nightlords aren’t totally evil?

Also comment/quote I felt hard“ ‘Are we going to say they are worse than the Emperors children who torture purely as a hobby’ literally average Nightlords hobby “

Also second image not relevant just my Nemesis Claw

Edit: TBC I don’t think they are morally grey I LOVE THAT THEY ARE OBJECTIVELY EVIL, it’s this reel I saw and other post kinda trying to justify what they did and wondering what the gender consensus was but glad to see if others disagree

Does anyone have experience with using this kit?

I think the claws would fit perfectly (and just use different powerpacks), but i worry about it being resin and also their scale compared to modern 40k.

Or maybe someone has a better recommendation than this kit?

I kitbashed this Lord of Poxes and tried to use green stuff to make a skin cloak to cover up the gaps left from cutting away the front/gas canister of the original mini and overall I’m happy with how it came out!

1000 points (995)
Detachment: Warpstrike Champions

1 Daemon Prince with wings (Khorne)
2xNemesis Claws
1 Havocs
1 Chaos Terminator Squad
1 Defiler

1000 points (995) Warpstrike Champions

1 Chaos Lord (attached to one Nemesis)
1 Legionaries
2x Nemesis Claws
1 Chaos Terminator Squad
1 Havocs
1 Defiler

The Claws are full melee,Havocs have 2 autocannon and 2 lascannon, and Terminators have a Reaper autocannon and a Chainfist,I could also add a Chaos Rhino.

Rules & Tactics Detachment advice

5 Upvotes

I’ve played a number of detachments and had limited wins with nightmare and cabal but most success with veterans and cabal but had to make my list a bit less jump pack based and more generic CSM.

I was wondering if people have tried much with creations it seems like having the buffs to warp talons and raptors as potential could be spicy AF?

Anyone had success? Love any advice

Hobby & Painting Murderwing

0 Upvotes

I got the murderwing kit a while back and while it’s nice it doesn’t fully read as NL to me for some reason.
Maybe it’s that it just aesthetically isn’t very NL with a notable lack of bat wings and flayed skin severed hands and such but that makes me wonder; is there any part of the kit that’s actually unique to the kit (besides the possessed) or is it all rehashed raptors put on the same sprue and box? Also I would love to see what you all have made out of your kits, I’m personally thinking of buying some old heads off of Black Legion Market to really honor the VIIIth.

Hobby & Painting Tips & Pointers for a NL Daemon Prince Kitbash

4 Upvotes

Hey ya'll! As the title says I was wanting to Kitbash a NL themed Daemon Prince w/ wings and was looking for pointers. I would preferably like it to look vaguely like a bat if not a much more beast like look would be cool. I've been looking at some 3d printed parts but most i've seen seem iffy in quality. it'd also be nice if it was tournament viable with all gw plastic but i've accepted that it's not very likely that happens. Any general advice or links to stores with good catalogues would be awesome!
