Word Bearers of the 32nd Host - Projects by the Prophet

[The Prophet]

Glory to the Eightfold Path! The Kerberodium has taken it's first steps from the forgefires of Ghalmek!

It had it's beginning in a forgefiend/maulerfiend kit that I recieved as a gift and with a few modifications it became a walking podium. I really liked the new Dark Apostle model and when he was new I had some crazy plans on rebuilding him in a psychic whirlwind of books and scrolls. Instead it became something more realistic, taking advantage of his already lifted leg to position him halfway up on the chaos star.

So here's how it looks like...

For gaming purposes, I had the head and the side weapons magnetized, so there's a few options to be had:

Beware of the three-headed plasma dog!

[Pearson73]

Smashing stuff!

[Brother Dallo]

That's pretty epic. Like Fluffy meets a pulpit. It does make me wonder what goes on in that head of yours though. :p I guess with a name like that, we shouldn't be overly surprised.

That is great!!! And I literally laughed out loud at the last sentence about the three-headed plasma dog

[Greyall]

Damn, that's inspired!

[deathspectersgt7]

COOL!!!!

[BetterOffShred]

So awesome!  That's really cool man, that's all I can say!

[Grand Master Laertes]

Okay, another inspiring conversion that now I want to copy... 

 

Great job, I think it fits well in the Word Bearers' theme.

[Terkael]

That looks amazing! What did you use for the torso/podium?

[Doghouse]

That is seriously cool :tu:

[Augustus b'Raass]

That is such an amazingly awesome model. Actually you, The Prophet, were the reason I started playing word bearers four years ago. I gave up on painting red two years later and switched to night lords, but I've always admired your stuff. You just have the creativity and cojones to produce the craziest stuff and the skills to make them into beautifully painted miniatures The church-on-baneblade and the walking summoning circle/chaos star come to mind, but there's soo many other things. Beautiful work mate. Truly inspiring.

 

EDIT: Do you have a plog or something? I'd love to browse through all your amazing stuff but I couldn't find anything in your profile and there's no linkies in your signature...

[Noctem Cultor]

I really like that, looks great and cuts the Word Bearers so well.

[The Prophet]

That looks amazing! What did you use for the torso/podium?

The core engine looked like this in the beginning...

... so it's basically made of six-rolled dice, which is guaranteed to give me luck on the battlefield, right?

That's really cool to have inspired you!

Currently I have no blogg, but there might be coming one during the year.

[Augustus b'Raass]

YES! That'd be awesome. I advice just posting stuff one unit at a time, let the frater admire and drool over it in a couple fo comments, and then posting the next. It'll give you a solid base of followers and interest of the community, which can potentially be a major contributor to your continued inspiration (although I doubt you need that). It certainly helped me when I started posting a year ago. In fact, why not change this thread into your plog? Just alter the name of it and hey presto. :tu:

[Urauloth]

That is both ridiculous and awesome and I love it. Superb modelling right down to the small details - the holstered pistol and the smoke launcher halves are both nice touches. Absolutely perfect name, too.

 

e; You should definitely start a log here, I'd love to see more stuff. Judging by the CSMthere (is he telling the dog to wait..?!) I'd be pretty hype to see some of your squads.

 

As an aside, it's also cool to see another Word Bearer from the Maelstrom... hail Kor Phaeron!

[Cretheus]

You don't need me to tell you this is awesome, right!

[The_son_of_Dorn]

Id respect a president, prime minister, or even nigerian war lord who addressed the nation whilst riding one of those! 

[Bearingtheword]

Absolutely stunning......Looks like I'm going to venture one similar for my XXIV Host.....

Adding a warpsmith/dark magos entity and he's not going to walk across the field himself....

Plus it could double as a pre-battle pulpit the way you have done.....

Still stunned and honestly having trouble articulating here, lol.....

What kits did you steal bitz from for this?? I've been looking at the FW HH Archmagos Draykavac/ Archmagos kit...

A Walking cerberus podium platform.

It's a mix of bits from all kinds of miniatures, but the important ones are from the forgefiend (obviously), the Celestial Hurricanum (which I think is a wonderfully crazy kit) and the Dark Apostle. The side parts for the upper podium is from the Sisters of Battle Immolator kit and the gargoyles are either from Mordheim terrain or the "new" Garden of Morr, I'm not sure. The crates are from the old school rhino kit and the chimneys I believe come from the Khorne Lord of Skulls.

Here's a closeup on the podium.

[Rev. Tiberius Jackhammer]

Lovely - Daemon Engine mounts are fantastic. I'm still hoping they genericize the old Slaughterfiend Apocalypse rules (Berzeker Champion riding Defiler) and allow Chaos HQs to take Daemon Engines as Chariots, and this Apostle a great execution of the concept.

[BLOODSAINT]

One of the coolest things I've seen in quite a while! Very Blanchitsu! 

[Adeptus-Alaska]

Blanchitsu....lol I love that.
 

and the podium is awesome.

[eurieus]

Awesome !!!

Chaos Dreadnought of the XVIIth - FINALLY DONE!

Locked away in stasis sleep at the far corner of my cupboard, this unassembled piece of naughty dread have been with me my whole* life without ever getting any glue or paint. Watching as my Mark 1 Rhinos was getting their extra armour, my spoiled group of Terminators getting their 61st weapon upgrade and even my lowly cultist bastards getting their own daemon vehicle ride, he sat there with his head in his lap (where's his head anyway? I couldn't find it) and cried.

But the future would show it was all daemon tears. Tears of unholy promethium, now ignited, that rained down upon on his enemies. After decades of waiting, he is now all grown up and painted and his crab-like claws will make short work of anyone that stands in his way!


*Since I was set upon the Eightfold Path.





And he's even got some alternative weapons himself!
