boyd Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Love the paint job and the fact that you're bringing our Legion to the forefront. One thing I've grown to like as a cheap conversion - replace the Obliterator's head with a terminator head. It just makes the model look better and more in line with being a space marine.

Cpt_Reaper Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 How did you get Astorath to stay hovering? I gave mine the possessed wing-pack but now cannot work out how to base him short of pinning the model to terrain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natanael Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 All looking mighty fine. It seems a bit small for 2000p, but it looks great on the table! Â - Natanael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gave mine the possessed wing-pack but now cannot work out how to base him short of pinning the model to terrain.  I just converted the backpack that came with the model:  http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s172/tzen_spider/dawings.jpg   Here's the latest marines I've done:  http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s172/tzen_spider/5marines.jpg  I'll prolly update this thread later with more images of everything. I'm drawing towards the conclusion of this army till the next chaos codex arrives, literally just have a rhino, 3 terminators, 5 more marines and a Great Unclean one to paint then its finished! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzen Posted March 22, 2011 Author Share Posted March 22, 2011 I need to go back to all my CSM's and paint them this way, but I doubt I'll have the motivation for a while! :D  I got asked fro some close up pics on another forum so here we go.  http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s172/tzen_spider/newmarine4.jpg  http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s172/tzen_spider/newmarine3.jpg  http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s172/tzen_spider/newmarine2.jpg  http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s172/tzen_spider/newmarine1.jpg  These aren't technically finished, when the whole squad is painted to this level, I'll be adding battle damage. But I want to do them all at once or the damage seems to be in identical areas on each mini, and whilst in some areas it makes sense, in others it doesn't.  Just one of my many little irks when painting for you there! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highborn Mergula Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Woow i love them. :wub: i saw youre dread on gw's site months ago and i forgot that colour sheme and i tried to find it though i did not so can you please tell me?

BlkTom Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 I noticed Astro had a slannesh symbol on his ribbons, and with the Horrors and then a Great Unclean One, are you doing more of a Chaos Unified feel? I always had the impression that Word Bearers were Khorn-ite based chapter.... correct? Â And I don't know how bad it is in England, but we still have alot of Religious Right dominating our politics as well, so the feel of a speration between Church and State is getting narrower and narrower. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Thanks very much, I'm glad you like them! Â I paint them this way: Â Mecharite red > 50/50 mech red blazing orange > blazing orange > 50/50 blazing orange and vomit brown. Â Final highlight of vomit brown on the tips of armour! :) Â Â I noticed Astro had a slannesh symbol on his ribbons, and with the Horrors and then a Great Unclean One, are you doing more of a Chaos Unified feel? I always had the impression that Word Bearers were Khorn-ite based chapter.... correct? Â Â Word Bearers are the Chaos Undivided legion. In Rogue trader days they were aligned with Khorne, but they haven't been for a long long time. Â Â And I don't know how bad it is in England, but we still have alot of Religious Right dominating our politics as well, so the feel of a speration between Church and State is getting narrower and narrower. Â I'm an Atheist myself, but I love the irony of corrupt religion. I dislike it in the real world, and I actually like the American constitution because it cant have a state based church. I think that idea is worth defending! In England I like to think we've out grown the need for religion. It sounds patronising but there's no other way of describing it.

Jeffy.Gee Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 I reall like the scheme for the wings, could you elaborate please? Â Well, the wings come from the plastic possessed wings. Do you refer to how I built them or the paint scheme? Â The paint scheme please. Â JG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â You can pick out top highlight with vomit brown, tone em down with a red wash. Â Â Additionally! Â Terminator shoulder pads. Â They haven't photo'd as well as I think they have turned out so far. Better than painting them on no matter though! Â http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s172/tzen_spider/shoulders-1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natanael Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 I've always wanted a red army but have always thought that the Word Bearers look kinda wrong, the red not being very nice. But you have changed my mind with your minis. They are clean and not at all over the top regarding highlights and stuff like that. In short - I love it :) Keep up the good work.

Iago Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Very nice. Very clean! very crisp, nice blends and good colour selection. I love it, very inspiring and the robes and other tidbits make the army stand out!. I like it. Â cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Nihm Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 I'm drawing towards the conclusion of this army till the next chaos codex arrivesI am in the same boat with my own army unfortunately. But kudos to you, you have truly done the Word Bearers justice and your subtle yet outstanding conversion work is inspiring, not to mention the crisp painting. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tzen Posted April 2, 2011 Author Share Posted April 2, 2011 I've not had much time to paint recently, due to collge stuff, but I finished this guy yesterday!  http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s172/tzen_spider/champ2-1.jpg  http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s172/tzen_spider/champ-1.jpg  I wanted a bit of a nurgle esque theme because he's the guy who is supposed to become my Great Unclean One. Still had to remain a word bearer, just a bit to obsessed with nurgley shiz.  Notice the three heads! Once he's finished looking at it, he can pop it on top of the other two to make an impromptu nurgle symbol! Almost as if I planned it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natanael Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Very nice and not too nugly, but still he's got the feel. And btw, that Ultra helmet looks fantastic =D Â And the helmet, do you get that in the regular CSM-box? Â - Natanael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzen Posted April 2, 2011 Author Share Posted April 2, 2011 Yup! Well, it was on the sprue anyway. Â I'm nto sure which version of the CSM sprue it is, but i think its the most recent. Â I love painting Ultras! My army of them will be added to once these guys are done :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurglez Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 The helmet of the nurgle word bearer is a khorne berserker helm with the bunny ears chopped off, unless I'm mistaken. Â Very nice army. keep up the good work :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
