Rijel Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 I've been pondering the Night Stalker's list from Uncharted Empires. It seems like converting the models needed from available bits would be a fun project, in the long term. Has anyone had any experience with how the list works on the table? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myster2 Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 I read through it quite a bit, it really seems like one of those armies you have to try a few times just with proxies to see how well it would work. It was really hard to visualize what it could do. If rating armies from "easy" to use to difficult I feel like it would be rated as one of the hardest.

Norrad Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 I have not played them yet but I am in the planning stages of picking the figs for the look that I want. Hopefully have everything together soon! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rijel Posted January 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 Gamer Geek, what figs are you looking at? I have some ideas, but I'm interested in hearing yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClassicFlava Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 If i were to play nightstalkers i would probably use tyranids. No more armies for me tho (5 is more than enough) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norrad Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 Guardian did not have the book when I looked. I got mine back in December at Dice Age. As far as figs go I'm looking at all of the ranges that have ghosts and Hellraiser-esque looking figs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rijel Posted January 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Ooh! I had an idea for models to use for Night Stalkers: ghosts and such that are cast in translucent plastic. There are enough of these from various manufacturers that most of the army list selections have an analog somewhere. I've checked, and between my Reaper bones minis in green, and a Bag o Zombies, I've already got a (small) forces worth of models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesselowe Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Would the warmachine Cephalyx models work? They have a bit of that Cenobite vibe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rijel Posted February 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 The beauty of the Night Stalkers list is that nearly any figs will work for it. So the Cephalyx models would definitely work, though you'd need to do something different with the bases to get them to fit on a movement tray. The 30mm bases most of the models come with will rank up on a Kings of War movement tray, in a 6 model by 6 model grid. I went digging through my model stash, and found a bunch of Goblin Town goblins from the Hobbit game. They're misshapen, and with a glossy black paint job will make decent dopplegangers. I also got one of the clear gelatinous cubes, and plan on inking purple, mounting a electronic tea light in the interior space, and using it as a glowing Portal Of Despair.

Andrewgeddon Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 There was a game on Kickstarter recently called "The Others: 7 Sins" that had a bunch of miniatures in it that I thought would be perfect for my vision of a Night Stalkers army. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that you can buy the different "sin" boxes separate from the game, so I doubt that would be a feasible route to go. Plus I have no idea how the game minis would scale with other 28mm stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mierce probably has some good options (thinking of that crocodile thing with human arms), but also fairly expensive. Going to do some searching, see if I can figure something out. I just hate Reaper miniatures sooooo much, heh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClassicFlava Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 Mierce makes fantastic minis. I try to incorporate them into as many of my armies as possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bham Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 Reaper bones makes plenty of nightstalker capable minis for cheap 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
