| Re: Konrad Curze "The Night Haunter" Ok guys just finished reading Lord of the Night. Pretty good read and now I'm wondering should I model Curze with the Corona Nox?

Blog Entries: 5 | Re: Konrad Curze "The Night Haunter" Those claws are just trimmed hooks of plasticard which you could add to a power fist or some such, and you could even add smaller plates shaped the same but shrunk down to either side to give them a proper 3d/bulked out version. The new High Elf wizard head might work for that head too, and with a bit of fiddling you could make the gem head band he wears into the Corona Nox. The cape rather resembles the WHFB Chaos Warriors, with some added fur... A sculpted tabard.. A bit fiddly, but nothing horrendous. Ides or D_C or even Hairy could guide you there. Bat wing helmets on the back of the bit could come from the Tomb Kings spru...

| Re: Konrad Curze "The Night Haunter" ya I've seen this before and the Elf head is a good Idea. I was planning on using the chaos cape as they work well. The claws I definitely will be doing as thats something easily within my range of skill.

Blog Entries: 1 | Re: Konrad Curze "The Night Haunter" That is a SEXY looking model. I agree with the backpack. If you decide to even give him one (I wouldn't) I suggest using Huron Blackhearts one for reference. Its big, bulky and looks menacing. But I think the one above is a good starting point.

| Re: Konrad Curze "The Night Haunter" The only thing I have about putting that scuplt up there is mine will be compared to it which will end up making it really look bad, b/c that is a sick sculpt. I'll do my best though and hopefully come up with something unique and that captures the image of Konrad Curze before the Heresy that I'm going for.

Blog Entries: 4 | Re: Konrad Curze "The Night Haunter" The only real detail I'd go for would be the night lords skull on the torso. After that, the new termie lord or jump pack chaos lord are good reference points for pre-heresy lightning claws. As for the head, the high elf one is an idea, though if you have any skill sculpting hair, use the bare chaos termie lord head with the sneer. Battle brother Artemis' backpack might also be a nice reference point.

Blog Entries: 1 | Re: Konrad Curze "The Night Haunter" I don't think the NH would be in termie armor, what ever you do. I'd go for gaunt and wiry. Ghoulish is really how I see him Preheresy. TROPHIES!!! Grizzly reminders that the man was obsessed with causing fear!

| Re: Konrad Curze "The Night Haunter" I dont know man I picture him pretty bulked out in Power Armour. That way hes even more impressively sacry when he suddenly sneaks out of the night and cuts you in half with his claws.

Blog Entries: 4 | Re: Konrad Curze "The Night Haunter" power armour is bulky enough if done right (though I've never been one for the whole oversized shoulderpads thing myself.... You know the BT sword bretheren models? Could you do something akin to the plate over the left shoulder with the night lords symbol? Then go for some spikes on the other? Not sure how to put this into words... EDIT: Also, that possessed marine with the face for a torso? Might be another plan...

| Re: Konrad Curze "The Night Haunter" I like what you're thinking for the shoulder pads and that might be something worth trying if not on Konrad but on some Iron Hands at the least. But hey this is what this thread is for so if anyone has anything to add I'm all ears. BvL

| Re: Konrad Curze "The Night Haunter" Were you planning to make him in "truescale" style, or even bigger than that? I've sketched out a few ideas, but building them from existing parts would be a bit of a challenge. (Oh, and for the record, the illustrated scratchbuild above was not done by Scibor. He's Polish. The sculptor of this item is Russian.) R. |
