It's been forever since I've posted here, but I've not been idle. For your amusement I present a selection of miniatures from my ever growing Night Lords Legion army which I've been building since the release of the Horus Heresy second edition.
First up is a converted Chaplain which I made from one of the Praetors which comes in the Age of Darkness box.

Jump Chaplain |
I decided to go with an axe on this guy and then field it as a Headsman's Axe in game. I know technically they're supposed to be chain weapons, but my regular opponents can't tell the difference. I added a jump pack so he can support either my assault marines or night raptors depending on which squad is being played.

Pretty pleased with that axe |
Next up is Sevatar. Technically my Night Lords are on the road to Terra, so he shouldn't be included as part of the army. But he's a brilliant character and a cool model to boot, so I had to have him in the collection.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0NDE0CmlYg2q3YLUq7N1pNXD8lyC0Uy6k6z3U28qmrZOWz-AxTmnhDHmFTePkLjt-WD-nGocb1VgjcGLoPADaz1akhyphenhyphenZyFS9be6Uc6Rs5RaTJ4yGq_IXERsE6kpCwjMhILnzz6UmFV3wkBKP1auRV2uKLvMiWHDJ2XgDhqLrR1z_Tp-bwi5gR-WPOth4/s320/20220904_211053.jpg) |
Death to the False Emperor! |
Speaking of Night Raptors, here's a unit of 5 I added to the army. I have 5 already painted from my forays into the Horus Heresy during the first edition for the game. So generally I envisage that these will be used as a big unit of 10. Clocking in at a whopping 400 points, they're terribly inefficient, but I do love the models and the background.

Lightning claws are always good |
I painted a classic box dreadnought which I've had kicking around for years. It's a really nice classic Forgeworld model and I'm glad to have it finished and added to the army.

Old school cool |
Last but very much not least. I painted up a super-heavy tank in the form of the Falchion. I got this in a part trade with a friend who had started building the kit but lost enthusiasm. It needed a fair bit of repair work to get it to a decent state and I needed two attempts to get it painted because the sponsons were absolute murder. I'm very jealous of anyone who owns the modern kit which comes with the plastic sponsons.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimKP4NBGXpTV7tSRgCMPevI1EhOoNyYk0kUkiwPIo4DiZt-ZGECwt8S_2BYOsit3I7ILMY7Ro5VoEOVb2TrI9ftrsUx2Ki_G8DySX-XnUSTpD9LpN2NgvdROID0oxlF5oTgrza70MWrjqN0_Klbr1B_Vg3klmiyPs3O9SlFVF89-GH-dsUSnWs8mDfqMQ/s320/Falchion1.jpg) |
Big and brutal |
I really love the way this thing looks; it reminds me of the old mammoth tanks from Command & Conquer.

I should have added a couple of havoc launchers |
