Word Bearers Chaos Knight


Recommended Posts

Hiya, my Knight finally came today and so begins the long journey of turning him to chaos.

 

First up, his head. Here is what I'm thinking for it - kind of a crude attempt at replicating the Word Bearers Legions heraldry if the snarling Daemonic face. Just one question though, should I keep the pipes at the side or remove them? Not sure if it looks quite right with them.

Part of me wamts to say remove the pipes, another part is wondering if you could show what it would like with the rest of the model. Individually, it looks superflous, but as part of the whole it might blend in and help with the overall feel of the model.

Thanks for the reply. That's what I was stuck on, I don't think it really needs it, and it would better represent word bearers without it.

Just arrived this morning so have not actually built the rest of it yet, as I want to take it slow. I'll leave them stuck for now and see how it is when the body is built. It will be easy to just cut them off once it's done.

True enough. Like I said, right there, it'd look better without the pipes, but with the rest of the body, it might be the only thing showing that the head connects to the body. Then again, a knight with a floating head would be all kinds of awesome.

Love the face/head. Really fitting.

 

Have you thought about chaos runes/text freehand on the big spaces? Also (im)purity seals. Kind of like a walking altar to the Dark Gods.

Greenstuffing some Mutations/Daemonflesh here and there could work as well.

Thanks mate :D

 

Probably too late for green stuffing, although that's a great idea - my skills with green stuff are not good enough to reliably cover the paint job as if it goes badly and I have to scrape it off it will ruin it.

 

As for the idea about text. I intend to cover it in freehand sigils, runes and all sorts. Just need to finish highlighting the armour and that's the last step.

 

Here is a quick example of what I have so far:
