Hello fellow marines, after being a long-time lurker, I have finally plucked up enough courage (along with marginally better painting skills and alot more money spent) to start this WIP on my own capter of word bearers. I have no idea when I'll be able to post updates as my enthusiasm for painting is sporadic but that said ill try my best ++Chapter of the Broken Diadem++ Assault Chapter Master Daroqus leads this chapter of word bearers, specialising in seiges and assaults on enemy strongholds. A rather pragmatic commander compared to other more zealot CMs and captians, Daroqus along with his chapter was spared from taking part in the Calth atrocity and joined Lorgar in the siege of Armatura at the start of he Shado Crusade, where his siege Battalion lead by Captain Alak-Hul proved invaluable for the breaking of ultramarine lines. Once the massacre of Armatura was concluded, like other Chapters, Daroqus lead his fleet upon his command ship Sacrosanct to pillage world after world in the name of the ruinous powers. This chapter is broken down into three sections (there is no way in hell I'll be able to complete the whole chapter ) Section 1: Battalion 1- 'normal' space marine battalion lead by 1st Captain Sor-Talak Broken down into 4 companies, each company lead by a Captain and a Chaplain, comprised of 2 Tac squads along with another specialist squad Section 2: Consuls+important persons This section comprisesof all the leaders of the chapter, Primus medicae, Mortriat, Diabolist, Gal-Vorbak and ashen cricle leaders, along-side chapter command squads, vexillarius+bodyguard retuine Section 3: Battalion 2- Siege Battalion lead by Siege Captain Alak-Hul Like battalion 1, this is broken down into 4 companies each lead by a Lieutenant. Each company is comprised of a Tac squad, a Termie squad and a specialist squad As you can see, this chapter has been brewing in my mind for a long time so i hope you like it And of course, I couldnt start a WIP without pics: Here's the man himself, Assault Chapter Master Daroqus- The Fist of the Word Siege Captain Alak-Hul Mortriat Ahz-Tal One unamed vexillia of a veteran squad Lorgar Aurellian (badly in need of a re-paint) And finally, an army shot in its little B@C box, just to show you where im at atm Thanksfor having a look, I promise my painting isnt as bad as that irl, just until i can figure out how to take better pictures with my dismal lighting im stuck with pics where highlights and shades are washed out and again, thanks for having a look, I'm looking forward to seeing your feedback and thoughts
