I've started this project as my october (assembly) and november (painting) goal over at The Independent Characters forum for their Hobby Challenge, but thought it could be fun to extract it into a separate thread on a different forum as well.

There are many choices on forums to post on, but I decided on this one for two simple reasons:
1. Machinator frequents here, and since I'm using a boatload of his resin stuff to make this one, I thought I'd make it easy for him to check in on it.
2. It's not as apocalyptically busy in here, so I'm less likely to drown in other peoples threads as I would've been in say Warseer.

With that, it's time to present my project.

Ever since I got hold of the Fly Lords' "Lords of Battle" pdf, as well as by reading comments on the "Fellblades of Renown" thread, I've been irked the wrong way by the seemingly general consensus that Night Lords shouldn't have a Fellblade of their own.
Well, I disagree with that (shocking, I know!) and base the use of mine on the old Index Astartes article where the Night Lords simply don't understand what the word "moderate" mean. I simply love the fact that they orbital bombard an entire continent to wipe out a slaanesh cult on a part of a small island.

That thought has always followed me while doing my Night Lords and what better way of adding a centerpiece to my (pre-)heresy era Night Lords than a Fellblade.

One last thing. All resin pieces are from Machinator's e-bay store: [URL="http://stores.ebay.com/Blood-and-Skulls-Industry"]http://stores.ebay.com/Blood-and-Skulls-Industry[/URL] and the Fellblade Cannon and engine plate is commission work from him as well.

Thus we begin...
