Lore Konrad Curze: : Real-World Inspirations

Post image
307 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I’m a beginner content creator, and I just finished my fourth lore video (NOT AI) (it's about 15 minutes long). This time, I'm diving into how the image of Primarch Konrad Curze and his Night Lords was created. 

I really tried to make something unique with this one. If you are a Warhammer lore fan, I would really appreciate your feedback in the comments. 

You can watch the video here: https://youtu.be/DHsgp22PCVg

Spoiler alert: English is not my native language, so I really hope my accent doesn’t scare you off! Thank you so much!

Announcement New Rule and Flair: "Fanon Art"

121 Upvotes

The votes are in, and thanks to everyone who weighed in (including the handful of you who clearly enjoyed the thread more than the art itself). You voted almost 2:1 against leaving things as they were, but most of you didn't want a flat ban either. The clearest overall message in the discussion was that people want enforcement and guardrails, and that's the fairest outcome for both the artists and the people who just want grimdark in their feed.

We didn't want the rule to feel like it was targeting specific individuals in their taste either, and there are enough examples of "out there" art that people were irked by to create a fair catch-all for stuff that's not really in line with official depiction of the Sons of Nostramo.

So here's the new rule:

Art depicting Night Lords characters or Astartes as things other than what they are in canon lore (eg as anime/comic/other characters, animals, anthropomorphized objects, gender-swapped, etc.) or in situations that do not occur or are implied to occur in canon lore (eg tea parties, dance raves, etc.) must be tagged as "Fanon Art" and also marked NSFW if appropriate, which includes both excessive gore and sexual content. Failure to do so will result in removal, but you can always re-post with the right flair.

In plain terms, Curze in a maid outfit is fine, and so is Sevatar hosting a tea party, but tag it. Gundam Night Lords, your favourite anime waif in Midnight Clad. All fine. Just tag it. If it's spicy, mark it NSFW too. If it looks like something that is within GW's lore, it gets the regular "Art" flair. If it's official art, it obviously does too. Almost in response to the poll and discussion, this thread appeared. I've manually updated its flair as example.

We're not judging your art, and we want to reiterate that this subreddit wholly supports GW's official "Warhammer is for Everyone" position. The goals is to ensure people who scroll here on their lunch break know what they're about to open.

A removal under this rule isn't a strike against you. Fix the flair, re-post, and carry on. Anything that breaks other sub rules (or Reddit's) still gets pulled regardless of flair, and the usual expectations for comment sections have not changed.

The rule is in effect immediately. Reddit doesn't allow subs to re-order post flair, so it's at the bottom of the list.

Hobby & Painting Cyrion - The Jester - FIRST CLAW

“So,” Cyrion said to the silent, towering Terminators. “How are you?” Cyrion - The Jester. This was such a fun piece to paint. REDACTED and I chatted about the approach to this character - how to get across the sarcastic nature. How to show the underlying corruption without obvious markings. Can you see the hints?

The Necron at the bottom of the base is just a nice nod to my friends army - I will probably end up adding more to that model but pretty happy with this for now just wanting him on the table now!

My 16 year old asked to know some lore while I was painting, and that's how I described our Primarch. Photo is a recent Warp Talon I'm putting some finishing touches on. Ave Dominus Nox.

Hobby & Painting Meet Nareth, the carrion saint

Thumbnail

56 Upvotes

Once a feared captain of the VIIIth, Nareth swore to never embrace the gifts of chaos, but as millennia passed, and his perception of time and purpose warped, so too did his own perception of himself. Where wings have sprouted, he only sees his jet pack. Where armor and flesh have corrupted, he sees it merely as battle damage from a lifetime of battle. In striving for perfection in the art of terror, a sinister force noticed his “devotion”. Although he never considered himself a monster, he has become just that.

Wanted to show off my daemon prince kitbash! I can always get better at painting, but I’m particularly proud of the kit bash and posing. Took way to long to get him to set one-footed on the tactical rock!

As the title says, I read somewhere that you should magnetize your Chaos Knights, or your bases for better transportation.

Now, which sizes do you use, for bases or parts?

Don’t know if you run double raptors with the unattached as mobile deepstrike scoring or run a nemesis claw than the second raptors to fight and hold objectives.

Video Game need help with space marine 2 champion skin

0 Upvotes

hello everyone, i finally got space marine 2 yesterday for my steam deck and have been trying to grind out some pvp games so i can get the night lords champion skin, but i’ve run into some issues; at this point i’ve played a bunch of games and gotten at least 9 kills overall, but when i go to the icon for the champion skin it’s still locked and every time i play a new game it still says i have 6 more matches to do. i’ve tried reloading the game multiple times but the same issue keeps happening. has anyone else experienced such an issue? does anyone know how to deal with it
