If Huron Blackheart was a Night Lord...

Its been a while since I've added anything. I'm a lazy painter so it takes a while to get things done. That and real life stuff hasn't helped so yeah I apologise to all you diehard fans who have been waiting in anticipation.

For 6th edition Chaos Space Marines Codex there aren't many options for a fluffy list dedicated to a specific legion especially for a Night Lords player like me. Not going to debate about the whole thing because its all been said before on various message boards as people bitch about GW's questionable decisions. Anyway I digress. In order to try and simulate the feel of an army that employs swift terror tactics and ambushes its prey, I decided to take Huron Blackheart as a HQ choice to lead my band of traitors. I haven't done so because he's got some funky equipment and special rules (power claw, power axe, heavy flamer, psyker, etc), that was a plus side. I took him because of what he brings to the army and that is the Warlord trait: Infiltration. I could have D3 units infiltrate and flank my opponent so that I can pick important targets to fuck with. The only downside is that Huron does have to infiltrate special rule and counts as a unit... :/ so I have to hope that I roll at least 3+ on the die in order to get him and a unit to get their sneak on. Anyway I have the model painted and converted to Night Lords standards which was very simple to do, I simply had to replace the head.  Here he is in all his unholy splendour!


I am chuffed about the way the armour came out on him. The only real problem I have noticed is the wings and eyes. I think I will need to highlight them a brighter colour to bring them out a bit as they seem too dark for my liking.
