kikkala Posted October 10, 2007 Author Share Posted October 10, 2007 Thanks for your warm comments ^_^ . @Cassarus I toned down the bone parts with watered brown ink, they shouldn't be so shiny anymore. He's going to have pair of lighting claws (as cheesy choice they are :devil: ). @Nine My skills are amazing :eek ?!? Oh man, I'm turning all red ;) . I'm glad that my models give the starting push for a new Word Bearers . @Ekkanus You cannot resist the temptation of Word Bearers :devil: . I was thinking the same about the lighting patterns. @murderplar Ok, the red is the result of many experimentations of mine, so it's not the best one, but it works for me. 1. Start with a basecoat of Chaos Black. 2. First layer is brown. In my case, Scorched Brown (other "dark" brown should work aswell). 3. Second layer with mix of Scorched Brown/Red Gore at the ratio of 70/30. 4. Next three layers are simple, just lessen the amount of brown, and add the amount of red. 65/35, 50/50 and 20/80. 5. For the first highlights I used Red Gore/Vermillion at the ratio of 50/50. Vermillion is Vallejo range color, looks in my opinion GW's Blood Red, so use that instead. 6. Final (and tiny) highlights with pure Vermillion (=Blood Red). 7. Finally some Magenta Ink, don't let it pool at all, not even recesses. Remember to leave the some color from all the layers, if it they look too brownish, the ink will add some red tone to them, so don't worry. And of course, I want to see the results when you paint your models :) . Ok, now to the Lord himself. Helmet, and the trophy tracks are done. http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc52/kikkala/wbcl9.jpg http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc52/kikkala/wbcl10.jpg http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc52/kikkala/wbcl11.jpg Well, I need to add some more yellow to eyes, and the claws won't be painted with metallics, but instead with orange-yellowish colours. But now is the time for some special treaties... here's my first Word Bearer next to my latest Word Bearer! http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc52/kikkala/wbctcomp2.jpg This can be a encouragement pic for you all, even I have learned something during the years of painting :lol: .

Grey_Death Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 I love the reds. But I don't think I'm sold on the way you're painting the black here. You've inverted your highlighting scheme for theme. It would look better if you keep with the same way of highlighting (highlighting toward the inside of the edges instead of trying to edge them). Overall though I'm really enjoying the model so far. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/119970-word-bearers/page/2/#findComment-1388770 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firebird Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Hey, if you're going to be a traitorous bastard who corrupted half the Legions because someone refused your faith, you better do it in style. Very nice. Very nice, indeed. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/119970-word-bearers/page/2/#findComment-1388786 Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCain Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Nice work, looking really good! This can be a encouragement pic for you all, even I have learned something during the years of painting Yeah when I look back at some of the first models I painted, I can't help but laugh, and wonder what I was thinking. For some reason I though I HAD to use every damn color out of my starter kit on each model. hehe Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/119970-word-bearers/page/2/#findComment-1388801 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kikkala Posted October 11, 2007 Author Share Posted October 11, 2007 Update time! http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc52/kikkala/wbcl14.jpg I might redo the claws, what do you think?

Ekkanus Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 Looking good, although i think the claws are a bit too (orangey) (unless thats the look you wanted?) I love the new Chaos Lord stuff though, so much in fact that i've just finished building one and i'm now in the middle of converting a loyalist terminator into a sorcerer!

Blue Orphen Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 Well, I want to thank you (and curse you!). Since they were first previewed, I have not really been a fan of the new plastic Possessed. But that has changed with seeing yours. Now, I think I might have to consider a box of them. And by "consider", I mean "scrape together cash and get". So, thanks (and damn you!)

kikkala Posted October 12, 2007 Author Share Posted October 12, 2007 Thanks for the comments! @Ekkanus I'm glad that you bought the Chaos Lord kit, there can't be enough lords :lol: . @Blue Orphen. I accept your acknowledgement and curses ^_^ . It's good know that my models changes peoples opinions in some cases :) . Remember that curses are Chaos Marines kind words :rolleyes: . @AkiraCho Glad that you like Eugene :P (name given by BrotherDamascus). I'm having couple days off from painting, to regain my focus, so no updates tonight, sorry. But here's current group pic of the possessed and lord. http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc52/kikkala/wbclapms1.jpg From right to left: Eugene, Shorty and Snappy. Such a caring names, aren't they.

bob123 Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 I love 'em! I seriously do. For the claws maybe consider making them radiate energy( the centre being yellow and the edges of the claws orangey, using wetblending or a comparable technique) I actually was looking for such a way to paint red so I have to thank you too! ( Thanks :sweat: ) * Sighs* So much talent on this forum, guess I have to say it again... Keep up the good work! :) Edit: some typos Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/119970-word-bearers/page/2/#findComment-1393103 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malleus Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Kikala - I was liking the Lord very much, from pose to color choice. But that last thing you've done with the claws... I dunno. Yellow? really? :P Other than than the mini looks great. Oh, and great possessed!

Moribund the Burgermeister Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Am I the only one who thinks that the the Lord's waist looks too thin? If I were you (I'm not though :D) I'd give him the cape from the Lord kit. Just my two (Swedish?) cents!

kikkala Posted October 16, 2007 Author Share Posted October 16, 2007 Thank you for the comments. @bob123 First of all, thanks. I could try the wet-blending technique, I have read couple of tutorials of wet blending, and tried it with green tones, but not with orange and yellow. Orange seems to be dominating over yellow, but let's see if I can make up something. @Malleus Heh, finally some outgoing opinions :P . And I have a right explanation, firstly I had in my mind using metallics for the claws, but there would have been "too much" metal on the model (reasonable?), so i ended up with non-metallics (obvious...). Green? no, 'cause I have painted all the tubing with green. Red was out of question. I have used blue power weapons for my Dark Angels, so no. And yellow... kinda fits with red, don't you think? And I have never painted anything yellow, so this is "how to paint yellow"-lesson to me ^_^ . But hey, I appreciate that you gave your honest opinion. @Cassarus Thanks to you too! :D @Moribund the Burgermeister You're the first to notice that :tu:! I used minimal amount of Green Stuff heighthen him up a little bit. So he could bigger than his foes :verymad: ! I could use the cape to hide his little Green Stuff mistaces in the back... I'm visiting my relatives for next 3-4 days, so no updates... yes I know, I suck. IF I add the cape for the lord, as Moribund the Burgermeister earlier suggested that... what color it would be, 'cause I have no clue, so you how know what would look good with red (not yellow, would look kinda silly...), give me your ideas, so the lord could have warm, cosy cape to wear :lol: . And for some addition to my Word Bearers.... a sorcerer! If I find Huron Blackheart model, I'll cut his head off, add helm with lots, lots of horn, give him wings so he can fly like a bird! Those who own Huron model, I have a little question, what parts does the model consist, is his arms separate? See you in few days.

kikkala Posted October 20, 2007 Author Share Posted October 20, 2007 Home sweet home. I'm back from my "vacation" and I have lots of energy to be used on modelling :jaw: . http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc52/kikkala/wbsl2.jpg Bought the model and a hand drill, God bless that I bought that, helped a lot when modelling him. Most of the parts can be removed easily to ease painting, and of course all crevices will be filled with GS. Next in my mind: he has the chaos star in his right hand, right? I'll try sculpt some flames from it, good idea? And of course, you can still give color-choices for my lords cape, still haven't touched it :P . C&C are appreciated deeply, thanks.

Mr Fulgrim Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 keep it up ;) :tu: for flames you could just use the possesed arm in the lower left corner, looks like flames to me ^^, dont know how good it will look, but you can try if you dont whant to sculpt one. :P http://us.games-workshop.com/games/40k/cha...possessedFb.jpg Death to the false Emperor!

Brother Renn Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 This is some amazing work. I really like the color schemes, although I have to agree with some that the yellow is a little much. I like the idea of wet blending them from the inside out. Maybe do it sort of like flames, with a yellow blended up to a faint reddish color. Keep up the good work. I look forward to seeing updates. Your also making me look into a Word Bearers army. I have been reading Dark Apostle, which has been wetting my appetite for them, and this is like a sign that I should be building an army of them.

kikkala Posted October 21, 2007 Author Share Posted October 21, 2007 Thanks for the comments! @olii Glad that you like them ^_^ @Mr Fulgrim If I remember correctly, the flaming(?) possessed arm is a left arm, it shoots the flames straight to left. I have hard time finding something from my dump. :) . http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc52/kikkala/pyt.jpg @Brother Renn Your idea has been taken in consideration. Glad to hear that there's going to be more Word Bearers ;) . Ok updates, updates! http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc52/kikkala/wbsl3.jpg Added some more horns to helmet, scroll/cloth piece to right arm, and some thousand other adjustments... green stuffing, drilling, shaving off... man, I have done nothing but inhaled tons of metal-dust ^_^ . Oh, and I scrapped the flames-coming-from-right-arm-idea. While taking off the heave flamer's pipe, I destroyed the chaos star at the same ;) ! No biggie, just needed to forget the cool-idea :) . (Anyone else had hard time attaching the thumb to right hand?) He has in his left shoulder pad, a book taken from chaos lord sprue, first idea was to add some flames coming out of it, but then I realized that flaming-book was Word Bearers pre-heresy symbol :) . So instead of flames I'll add some chains around to book, so it would look like that book is attached to shoulder pad with chains, now I need to find some chains... Ah, almost forgot...
