Title: Evil Dave's Night Lords - Special Weapons
Post by: Evil Dave on January 05, 2025, 03:27:57 AM

My goal for 2025 is make progress on (or, dare I say… finish) projects that I've started and stalled-out on these past few years. With that in mind, here's some Night Lords that I built last year which never saw any paint save for a base spray coat. I've easily got over a dozen 40k armies from the 90s/early 2000s era and it would be nice if some of that old metal could see the table sometime before the 2090s.

The internet tells me that Night Lords aren't Night Lords without their lightning details, so I've been figuring those out this past week too.

Rather than push on with these guys, I'd like to try something different this year and do small projects to try and avoid burnout. After these four I think I'll try and pump out a few Triumph! bases, then some more Night Lords, rinse and repeat.

Classic Night Lord minis - nice that you still have these. Nostalgia overload  o_o

The lightning works well, good job.

Sounds a good plan to keep motivated, always a problem finding a way to keep motivated without getting distracted.

Thanks guys.

Four 40k Night Lords Aspiring Champions "done", Ah ah ah!. I have a few more things I need to get ready for priming, once that happens I'll paint their guns. And the bases… those are still a thought in process. Onto some light foot for my 15mm Khazar's.

I started my next batch of Night Lords last week, the basecoats are down and washed at this point. I'm hoping to finish them up by the end of the month but I may take a quick detour to finish some Khazar spearmen for a games day on the 22nd.

Nah, keep on the Night Lords! Seriously good stuff.  :-*

I chose Night lords as the scheme for my nineties CSM as well; it's just the most iconic for the era (must have been the studio army popping up in WD all the time ;) ). But unlike you, I've never even made a start on them.

Also, I'm fairly certain this won't happen anytime soon either; too much other stuff to finish first ::)

Yours look fab and would be right at place on those WD pages of the nineties...

Night Lords vs Cadian 122nd from old cityfight book, that was pretty cool.
