The Prophet and The Doctor

As those who have been following my progress will undoubtedly know, this post will detail the last two members of First Claw. As mentioned in all posts before, this post will quite possible contain *SPOILERS* for Aaron Dembski-Bowden's fantastic Night Lords trilogy, so read on at your peril.

The latest member of First Claw and the only one not a son of Nostromo, however Variel I feel can be considered a true Night Lord, for several reasons, mainly he has a nasty habit of flaying his victims, which lets be honest is a pretty fucked up thing to do... Variel is formerly an Apothecary of the Red Corsairs, the renegade Space Marines led by the infamous Huron Blackheart. He severs his allegiance to Blackheart during Blood Reaver and joins Talos and the rest of First Claw when they betray the Corsairs in an attempt to reclaim the Echo of Damnation, the sister ship to the Covenant of Blood. 

The Doctor will see you now...

Say hello to Variel, complete with Narthecium and Reductor. Variel, like all the others still has a load of work to be done on him, the shoulder pad you can see in the photo will be covered in flayed skin, in the shape of an unfortunate victims face (hopefully) while the other shoulder pad needs a 'shattered' red corsairs symbol (yikes!). 

Rear View

So that is the Flayer, as you can see his left leg his made of bionics, after a little incident with a genestealer during The Core, as such this bastard was made using the Forge World Commander sprue, and what a lovely pair of legs he has too...

and now for the star of the show, Soul Hunter:

Talos Valcoran

Talos Valcoran, Soul Hunter, Prophet of the VII Legion, armed with his trademark weapons, Aurum, a relic of the Blood Angels which he stole and claimed for his own, and Malcharion the War-Sage's bolter. 

Soul Hunter

A sideways view, to show of his fancy sword, do I have the balls to paint that up using Non Metal Metallics? Urggggh!

Malcharion's Heir

And his combi-bolter, the Space Marine helmet will be painted in Blood Angel colours... (It would be rude not too...) 

The Prophet

The back of Talos, complete with trophies. Those keen eyed amongst you will have spotted that the second helm is in fact a Chaos Marine Helmet, this shall be painted up in Night Lords colours, and is to represent Ruven, a reminder to all what happens when you cross the Soul Hunter... 

First Claw

First Claw in their entirety...

Ave Dominus Nox!

Cannot wait to finish these guys now... 

From Left to Right:
Variel, Xarl, Uzas, Talos, Cryion and Mercutian

There is just a little bit more work to do on all of these guys before I start with the painting, and it mainly involves green stuff, as well as adding in Bolters, Bolt Pistols and a Gladus for each member... you know, it's not like I have spent hours on this project already...

Anyway, I'll do another post shortly, of other stuff I have built when I have gotten sidetracked...

Until then... 

Caio!
