Nights Lords Daemon Prince Commission - WIP

Good Monday everyone! ( I lie, no Monday was ever good),


Over the weekend I doubled down on my Night Lords commission as its already a little overdue! So expect lots of updates this week on how these guys are coming along. First up is the Daemon Prince! This was one of those models which I think I probably pick up, look at, and then put down around 20-30 times before I feel confident enough to lay brush to it. It just has that much detail and interesting organic shapes coupled with armour plates. A bit of brain teaser for me personally!





The incorporeal style of the green flesh was as requested by the client, though I may have gone a little too green with it! The armour still needs lightning added to it and there are plenty of little details like the sword and eyes that are not 100% complete yet. But I'm happy with the progress :)

In other news I also had time to start a proof of concept scheme for my Eldar army that is going along with my Yncarne, so that should pop up soon too :)

Peace out,

Rob

    1. As above, its so much cooler! Really gives the feel of a fallen CSM better I think

  3. So you should be! It's a lovely piece altogether. Never realised how time-consuming the night lord's scheme could be to paint until I had a go. Extra gold stars for the lightning.

    1. It is a bugger! I imagine your style will go damn well with Night Lords, what with all the blood and butchery ;)

    1. Thank you! I am glad someone picked up on that, far and away my favourite part of this model in terms of technical achievement :)

    2. I'm more in favor of the Grey-ish taint on the Forge fiend, but It might grow on me? It does make Ik stand out, and contrasts nicely with the dark colors, and makes the sword go "pop" ! :-)
