Night Lords: New Tactical squad and Praetor

Ave Dominus Nox!

I will start working on the new terminator Praetor this week but before that, let me introduce you to the 4th Claw of my company and also to a new Praetor that was nearby!
This is the "standard" Praetor available in the Calth box a couple of year ago. I just paint him in the Night Lord colors, but I don't plan to use him a lot since the release of the other guys!

The 4th claw on the other hand, will be my first tactical squad of 20 marines. I just finished the first 10 models and I will work on their sergeant and 9 remaining models in the same time.
They will all have some swords to take trophies from their enemies! A true Night Lords cannot stay long without some skin and bones on his armor...

Night Lords: Unboxing new Praetors and Leviathan Dreadnought

Ave Dominus Nox!

Thanks to Forge World, we received the Paretor the Night Lords need for the 9th company. I am more than happy that these little guys and the big one arrived just in time for the weekend!

So let me introduce you to the two new Praetors and the new Leviathan of my army:
First, as you can see, it is the jump pack Praetor (available here), with is big chainglaive, he will lead my raptors squad into new level of rampage and infamy.
The model is pretty nice to work with lot of details but not too many small or fragile pieces.

Second is the tartaros Praetor with the volkite, a classic Night Lords weapon (available here). I think that this chainglaive is just amazing: big and stylish. I will use the helmet head and I cannot wait to see him command either a terror squad or his own squad of Atramantar.


Finally, I also bought the new leviathan (available here). I will not show you the complete set as only part of it his specific for the Night Lords (torso, shoulders, upper body and details). Let just say that I was impress with the quality of this new models and the Night Lords touch on the model is well done.
Plus I think that if I don't use all the details, I will be able to put some on my old leviathan to give him a better "Night Lords" look.

I am currently working on a dozen tactical marines, but these guys will be on top of my list in the coming weeks.
