Adriyen's Word Bearers: Excess and Discipline

[Zephaniah Adriyen]

Soooo, I picked up that one-to-a-box, character-priced Noise Marine, and got to thinking. Maybe he'd make a good Mark of Slaanesh Dark Apostle? I've been considering doing Word Bearers for a bit anyway, so why not? The reason I'm putting this in here is because, as much as the one model is done, I've got like 20 Cultists to paint up for this, so this is a WIP project. If mods have a problem, go ahead and move it elsewhere, whatever.

Note I've added another decal to his leg, a white Star of Chaos, and added 'Ardcoat over all of his armor to scratchproof and give a shiny look like Word Bearers should have, since taking these pictures. He'll be shiny and have the extra Star in any future family photos, though.

Looks good so far! Will the cultists get the Slaaneshi treatment, too?

[Zephaniah Adriyen]

Ah, they're just a regular set of Dark Vengeance Cultists. Not much I can do to Slaanesh-ify them.

Beautiful model, and you've done a great job with it, looks awesome as a Word Bearer.

[Zephaniah Adriyen]

Gonna be trying to take some family photos including the Chaos Knight (!) very soon.

That's a very defeatist attitude! A few head swaps with the helstriders kit, weapons from the same or from assorted aos and dark eldar kits and you could get something going on. Even the flails and whips from the flagellants kit could work.
