Word Bearers

[lord_bunny]

holy moly! I want that guy! he looks awsome.

 

The flesh tone is great.

[kikkala]

Thanks for fast comments :).

@Captain Pugno

Yep, as Cultist Chalky answered, it indeed is Orc warboss banner. Your loyalists were saved by the bell from horrible slaughter by word bearers ;) .

@Cultist Chalky

Thanks for the advice, I removed the damn thing from the tabard :P .

@lord_bunny

Thanks man ;) .

As promised moar updates:

Other angle to show the right arm:

Wings and weapon shaft left to do, what do you think?

[daemonclaw]

nice and dark what are you going to do with the wings (colour wise)

[The Angelus Sanctus]

I swear each time you take a break and come back to your WB kik, the quality just jumps in leaps and bounds. Just the simple conversions and the paint work alone always impress me.

 

I'm quite liking the Sorcerer conversion, there is nothing there thus far that doesn't scream out, i'm in the wrong place.

 

I'm also liking how your red each time seems to just darken and really bring out the theme of the WB as well.

 

Keep up the great work :lol:

[kikkala]

@daemonclaw

Thanks, I decided to paint wings black, with tint of blue.

@TAS

Oh, you're just flatterin' me :) .

Vóila!

C&C are appreciated, thanks.

*edit* Oh noes, camera ate my black highlightins!

[Mordus]

That is just sick. If GW released that as a metal model, my confidence in them would be restored. And thats saying something.

[Brother Gothard]

Stunning army you are collecting there, sir. Stunning.

 

How do you paint your reds, specifically the red on the Dark Apostle? My own Word Bearers are getting their first coats of paint now, and I wanted to paint them like yours, but I've found something else that works for me (sadly).

[kikkala]

@Mordus

Oh wow, sorceror's that good? Thanks man :P .

@Brother Gothard

Thanks mate, my current red recipe goes like this:

-Black bascoat

-Scab Red / Chaos Black 50/50

-pure Scab Red

-Red Gore / Scab Red 50/50

-pure Red Gore

-thin layer of Red Ink

-wash Badab Black

Remember to leave some of previous layers showing to create depth.

Maybe I should do a tutorial, because so many people has asked how I paint red B) .

Ok, down to business.

Kikkala: Chaos Lord, I have some good new and bad news for you.

Chaos Lord: Yes?

Kikkala: Good news first, I'm giving you new set of weapons!

Chaos Lord: Swheeet! What about the bad news?

<Kikkala demotes Chaos Lord to regural Terminator>

Chaos Lord: WHAAAT!!!

Kikkala: And you'll be with the other terminators.

Chaos Lord: But they are all smaller than me, I'll look like some kindergarten teacher!!

Kikkala: Oh boohooo, get used to it.

[The Angelus Sanctus]

:whistling: at the Termiantor Lord commentary.

 

There isn't much for me to say that hasn't already been said other than keep pumping out the great looking minis!

 

Oh, and don't forget your IH :)

[Captain Pugno]

thanks :devil:

 

i reckon i may be able to use the warboss kit for 40k orks hmmm...

[kikkala]

@TAS

Thanks man, Iron Hands will get more attention in the future, as Word Bearers are nearing completion, and it would be about time they'd be finished! :devil:

 

HEAR YEE, HEAR YEE!!!

I have made tutorial how to paint WB.

TUTORIAL

What are ye waitin'? Go and check it out! :tu:

[The Angelus Sanctus]

Nice work on the Tutorial Kik! You make painting WB so easy!

[kikkala]

Easy indeed. Now where's my couple hundred (thousaand) points worth of Word Bearer, eh TAS? ;) ;)

Two marines more to squad #2 increasin' squads members to 10:

(Aaand some tiny progress with the ex-lord termie, so tiny I didn't bother to take pics :lol: .)

C&C is always welcome, as usual.

*Edit* Termie done, yeaah:

[The Angelus Sanctus]

I'd imagine your several thousand points of WB are waiting for December to hit :P

 

Nice to see you enjoying the WB work, these guys are simply stunning!

[lord_bunny]

agh! my poor loyalist soul hurts! And yet the chaos soul smiles...

 

those washes make your painting kick more arse!

[Broodlord Steven]

Wow, i just got through reading all of the posts on your army, and i have to say it is absolutely amazing!!!

 

I really like your painting style/technique/whatever you want to call it, it looks great in the photos and i think that it would look even better on the tabletop.

 

I assume that you paint on the black base coat, but how did you paint the face on the sorceror?

 

Keep up the great work man! That's one heck of an army you got there!

 

Cheers!

Edit: had a question/typos

-Steven

[kikkala]

@TAS

Hehe, thanks :P . My current painted models should be around 1400-ish points, as I still need to paint 2nd obliterator, remove paint from defiler and rebuild it, same deal to dreadnought, scratchbuild 2 rhinos... oh man, I still have huge amount work to do :) .

 

@lord_bunny

<attacks lord_bunnys loyalist soul, and after sever beating gives some more to laugh for the chaos soul>

mwahahaaa :D , no but seriously: washes = pure awesome.

 

@Broodlord Steven

Thanks man ^_^ . Yep, even the skin is painted on black basecoat. Here's super duper secret for skin.... the skin was painted just like the bone, same colors and washes! :lol: :lol: Check my tutorial for bone(/skin) recipe.

 

Ok, no progress pics yet, I'll post them later tonight.

[lord_bunny]

owie. That was just rude... :D

 

yeah, I was a bit off them to start with, but they help my skin tone loads!

[kikkala]

Ahem, sorry, the word bearer in me just gained control over me for sec :P .

Promised progress update.

Painted 1 terminator, so there are 4 completed out of 7 terminators:

2 terminators have just been inked, metallics will be painted tomorrow:

1 terminator need gap filling before I start paintin' him:

Continued paintin' rhino, where I discovered how hard it is to wash a vehicle, but it's ok, mistakes happen:

I'm having a 1000pts game next weekend, so I can test out terminator squad, and today's thursday, I need to be quick if want whole termie squad completed before the game B) .

[Broodlord Steven]

Wow, i never would have guessed! (runs out to get desert yellow and snakebite leather).

 

I like how the terminators are turning out. id the freehand on there shoulders also painted like the bone in your tut?

 

If you don't mind me asking, what is your 1000 pt army list?

 

cheers

 

-steven

[BrianBlessed]

Your Wordbearers are great. Mine look rubbish in comparison.

[kikkala]

@Broodlord Steven

Freehands have the same recipe as bone and skin :tu: . Basically my 1000pts list has: 2 sorcerors, 7-man termie squad, 2 10-man chaos marine squads, one with plasmaguns and other with flamers, both with rhinos.

I don't know is it effective list or not, but I'll test the list out this weekend.

@BrianBlessed

Thanks man :) .

Let's see, what did I promise yesterday? And what did I manage to do:

... I suck :tu: .

[Traitor in Jeans]

... I suck :) .

That's a lie! ;)

To have come this far and still be dishing out lovable minis every now and again is a feet not normally achievable by man.

But you're no man.

You are a God.... :P

Well done kikkala. I just hope I have the strength to get this far on my own chaos army B)

Cheers,

TiJ

[The Angelus Sanctus]

I'd hardly call the progress you've made a sign of "suckingness" kik. You've pumped out alot of fantastic looking minis, both with your own WB and your IH in a short period of time.

 

Always remember since day one you've been continuously making a steady and forward progress, unlike myself, since i feel like i'm regressing back into the stone age :D

 

Keep at the rate you are going at dude

[kikkala]

Thanks Tij and TAS :P . Your comments gave great boost for paintin' :P .

Terminator squad finished, boooyah!

The power fist and chainfist guys:

The average equipment guys:

The reaper autocannon and 3rd regural termies:

Note, that TRA termie has some freehand on his helmet, otherwise he would have been plain compared to others.

And big happy family photo:

Phew, what's next on the list... maybe finishin' that damn rhino :P .
