Hey i though it was about time i start a log of my Word Bearers and other stuff(mainly chaos and loyalists), iv been contemplating it for awhile but i finally decided to do it.
Now im pretty proud of what iv done so far with my armies iv improved a hell of alot of the past year,
but im still not very good anyway i have quite a few pics of the squads i have managed to complete and i have a few WIP pics aswell, what im going to show is only a small amount of what iv got which is 10,000pts of chaos marines and almost all of that is only sprayed black,(so forgive me for been a very slow painter lol).

Looking good.

I especially I like the use of loyalist parts.

Nefile the Tormentor

This is probably my favourite so far; the ochre skin goes very well with the armour.

 

[forkmaster]

I simply love the WB:ers and they would have been the army I would have chosen if I hadnt gone for Emperors Children. Currently got my own thread up and running.

Termies and Daemon Prince are definitely my favorites. I have wished for a DP as a Christmas present, but will buy one if I dont get it. This totally got me some tips for how I should make it. Got som many ideas.

Looking good; Word Bearers have a lot of conversion possibilities, given their fondness for all things Daemonic, so it's nice to see some thought going into an army of them. Nefile's skin is nice, but looks as though it could use a little more highlighting and contrast perhaps; hard to be sure from that picture, though, since it is a tad on the dark side. I really like Nabor's face, the eyes in particular really pop.

Nice stuff, have some rep and I'm looking forward to seeing more

 

[CLT40k]

Looks really good... I'm with Dave on my favorite... that's a really nice looking Prince..

+ Rep

So how are you gonna base them?

 

[yanlou]

thanks for the rep :grin:

Ah yes nabor, he was actually inspired by your work on your death guard Svartmetall which i thank you for your amazing work.
As to nefile hes still in the WIP stage so yep his skin needs abit more work on it, I'm also planning on doing tattooed scripture work on his skin as well as on his armour and tabard to make him a bit more recognizable as a Word Bearer.

What im planning to do with the bases is nothing to fancy really, they'll be graveled and painting in sort of a volcanic colours and to vary them ill add bits debris, helms different sized rocks and abit of fauna, but i want to concentrate on painting my models first as i have quite abit.

In the next few days i should also be adding pictures of my Iron hands so far as well.

Thanks for the comments guys:grin:

p.s i should be starting my word bearers dreadnaught soon, looking forward to it.

 

[Khorne's Fist]

Really nice looking army. Nabor the Plague Ridden and Typhus stand out for me. Well done.

 

[yanlou]

thank you,
I am pretty pleased with how typhus turned out, hes one of my fav chaos models.

...forgive the bad GSing i havnt done any in about 6month so im out of practice....

At least it has not been long enough for your greenstuff to go funny (not that it ever happened to me).

I have been considering getting an annular lamp; I would be interested in how yours performs.

 

[yanlou]

Well its working out pretty good, it uses a daylight bulb so its pretty darn bright, the magnification is good, eyes will so much easier now, its also got and increased magnification on a small part of the lens, i was thinking about getting something similar myself, but dont need to now lol,
id say well worth buying one.

 

[Midge913]

Got some really great looking stuff here! That DP is fantastic! Keep up the good work. +rep

Sounds excellent; which brand is yours?

 

[Medic Marine]

Lovig the use of loyalist bits. Also like the poses you achieved in the raptors. Daemon prices and special characters are well done. Why are all the weapons solid silver? Seems flat but thats just me. Everything else is very nice and well exicuted.

Excellent; thank you.

 

[yanlou]

Excellent; thank you.

No problem :victory:

Now for a small UPDATE

(again i apologies for the poor GSing, alot of that will be tidy ed up)

now im not sure which arms to use, what do you guys think?

 

[Svartmetall]

I'd vote for the top and bottom right, they sort of make a matched pair as it is. Maybe replace the fingers with Spawn spines for more of a clawed look? Anyway, this looks like it'll be pretty nifty once done. Have some rep

EDIT: dammit, seems I need to spread it around a bit more...
