Nakara 'The Bloodless'

'Even though our father has left us, we shall continue to spill blood for his cause, for without terror and fear, we are nothing. Those who have betrayed us will learn to what it means to be hunted, by the lords of the night.' 

                      - Nakara 'The Bloodless'

                           (Captain 13th Company, VIII Legion)

Today's post shall focus upon the leader of my Night Lords Warband, Nakara 'The Bloodless.' Still in his WIP stage, however, I felt it's time you met the monster himself, but first, a little background...

While it would be at a later date that Nakara ‘The Bloodless’ would earn his title, it could be argued that his rise to captaincy was perhaps even more distinguishable. When the previous Captain, Reverentia, fell in combat against the Eldar in the later years of the Great Crusade, Nakara rose to prominence. With no clear replacement, a series of murder duels broke out within the 13^th Company.

Despite being the newest and least experienced sergeant, Nakara took up his Power Axe and with grim determination slew eight of his brother-sergeants. His Primarch, Konrad Curze, was so impressed with his natural skill, he bestowed him a great honour, the legion relic ‘Gustastus Consternatio’ literally meaning, ‘taste fear’ an intricately crafted lightening claw, once used by the Primarch’s own hand.

Who doesn't like a power armoured mass-murderer?

As I'm sure you have realised by now, Nakara is going using Huron Blackhearts rules, for the simple reason he is, IMHO, one of the best Special Characters in the latest codex... however, as all you need to do is type in Huron Blackheart Tactics and get a whole host of articles on how to use this character, I shall not be going into how to use him here...

In the years since the Heresy, Nakara’s talents and power have flourished, after beheading their captain in M37, Nakara gave the 47^th Company a simple choice, join the 13^th or die. As his reputation has grown, so has his warband, contingents of Night Lords pledging allegiance to him, many believe he might have the power to reunite the 8^th Legion and avenge their father. 

and what about the Hamadyra and his Heavy Flamer?

WIP Heavy Flamer

Here is a shot of the Heavy Flamer in the process of being built, a simple conversion, combining Lugft Huron's Heavy Flamer and a normal flamer from the chaos marine box, I still need to add the fuel cannister, which will probably be a scratch build, but we'll see, the Hamadrya on the otherhand shall not be represented by Nakara, and here's why:

Nakara has always made it clear within his Company, his feelings and stance upon worship and becoming a thrall to the Chaos Gods. It is by his command that The Forsaken have been condemned to a Sinner's Death for their worship of Khorne, as he believes they have betrayed their Primarchs teachings. However, many centuries have passed since the Heresy and the years in the warp have wrought their changes upon all of Curze's Sons. Nakara is no different, in recent years latent psychic powers that he was never aware of possessing have come to the fore. There are some concerns from his Lieutenants that Nakara himself has become a thrall of the Lord of Change...

That is all for now, but be sure to come back tomorrow evening for an update on these guys:
