The Night Lords are near my favorite traitor legion. Utilizing speed and terror tactics they strike quickly without mercy. Never been too big of a fan of the bat-winged helmets but they've started to grow on me. I also it interesting they ally themselves with none on the chaos gods. Instead they follow their own interests wreaking havoc across the Imperium.

Still the best shot of a Night Lord helm after many years by far. The warp effect in the background adds to it nicely.

You should have a look at the Raven Guard if you love the night lords so much
Corax (hence the legion) mirrors Kurze so much

Actually, the two are very different. Corax's legion specialzed as shock/assualt troops. Night lords are just plain evil, apparent from the world they grew up in. Ending note: Night lords are Chaos and Raven Guard are Loyalists. They are just not the same

Ahh but you are so wrong my fellow heretic,
both legions specialize in lightning strikes and stealth tactics, main difference being the Night Lords use it to inspire fear, the Raven Guard do it because, well it works !

Now as for loyalist and chaos, that doesn't matter, both legions admire each other, even if they despise each other.

And the Night Lords aren't evil, even if they aren't loyal to the Imperium.

I'd love to take this discussion up, as I always admire a fellow WH enthusiast ^^

Ah, i should have gone into more detail. The reason why the Nightlords are evil is because all of the ranks of the Nightlord Astartes were from criminals. The criminals were the only well fed/strong enough and Conrad started to see That. It was one of the reasons which tore Conrad between destroying his home world. When the Nightlords invade worlds, they use sheer terror and they prefer to pick on the weak

They aren't necessarily evil as evil is a matter of perspective, but before this gets all philosophical i get where you're coming from :b

Very cool! Captures the terror that one would feel when faced with an Astartes of the 8th Legion

Ave Domina Noctis! (the properly conjugated form of Ave Dominus Nox!)
Hail to the Lord of the Night!
Awesome pic man. The Helmet shape reminds of Turel from LoK Defiance. And of course a a bat.

Whoa that looks awesome! I like Night Lords too and when I started WH40K way back when I was 11 I wanted to paint my guys as them, but I later got Abaddon and decided my guys were going to be Black Legion.

I think you might be very interested in a little book called 'Lord of the Night' by Simon Spurrier. It is an excellent read about the first Raptor and leader of such said company for the Night Haunter.

I am so digging your art btw
I've noticed Daniel Lapham commented on one of your pieces, a real honor that is

Wow, this is impressive! Good stuff! Night Lords are also my favorite Traitor Legion, and I have a fairly sizable force of them for Warhammer 40,000.
