Lucifer216's stab at the 34th Grand Host (Word Bearers)


Lucifer216

Recommended Posts

Hi all.

 

Having been inspired by Anthony Reynolds' series about the Word Bearers, I decided a while back to put together my own force themed around the characters from the novels.

 

First up is my Marduk conversion, representing him at a point a bit further in his career than in the novels, due to the acquistion of some more bionics and a plasma pistol.

And here's my take on Kol Badar

Behold, the first of my Legion of the Damned (Chaos Chosen) that unlike other Legion of the Damned actually meet advertising standards, in that they're properly damned, not just angsty, supernatural goodie two-shoes...

And here's their Aspiring Champion, Zahiel...

That is an awesome Marduk, now I know what to do with my useless Huron Blackheart! (May I borrow the idea?)

Let me get this straight... You're asking? Asking? That's not acting like a Dark Apostle. You take it by force, with the might of your Host behind you and with the blessing of the Dark Gods.

I'm not a big fan of the Word bearers... They probably come fourth in my ratings of awesomeness (out of all the undivided) but only narrowly behind my 3rd choice the Iron Warriors...

 

 

That being said... if I see more Word Bearers I might have to re-evaluate this and even the Night Lords and Alpha Legion might have to worry about the word bearers as well :lol:

 

Can I ask is the champions helmet (with the horns and skull) from the chaos nights set and where is the sickle thing one of the chosen holding from?

Simply epic army! Though my favorite bit is the way you've worked out power weapons/claws. The firey doom effect is something I'll have to figure out a way to mimic (and fit into my Templars, without telling them it was inspired by heretics ;) )

Thanks for the kind words guys :lol:

 

Watch Commander Danek: The tanned flesh cloak/tabard look was achieved with a base coat of Dwarf/Ratskin Flesh and highlighting with a mix of Dwarf/Ratskin Flesh and increasing amounts of Elf Flesh. I then gave it a wash of Devlan Mud. A word of warning, it doesn't look that good without freehand to break it up a bit.

 

The horn/warm bone recipe is snakebite leather, followed by desert yellow and a final highlight of rotten flesh.

 

Kingdom of the Emperor: The Forgefiend is 9.7cm tall, with the tallest part being the exhausts. The Necrosphinx is a bit taller at 11.1-11.3 cm (depending on headdress).

 

As luck would have it, I have a partially painted Necrosphinx of my own. Here's a shot of it and and the Forgefiend.
