Raz's Word Bearers - Hell Follows With Them

Nice collection of the Wordbearers you have here, the interior of the warhound titan is nightmarish to behold, and totally fits the chaotic ways. Your Dark Apostle is also made to look like a real terror machine on the battlefield. The use of blood and gore gives the whole army a gritty and used look. Great work.

November, Update 2

^Thanks guys. Been working on the Raptors and bolter marines, assembly-lining eeeeeverything at once. It's tedious but at least it's getting done. Saving the CC diorama squad for later as a delicious treat for myself. Red basecoat/highlight and metallic basecoat are finished, pic related:

I've repositioned the Raptor champ's arms and removed the wings - decided I like him better without them. Did the same with my other raptor champ. Anyway, commencing washes immediately, just wanted to get a pic of them all bright and shiny first.

Happy Tanksgiving, by the way. And here I am painting infantry.

November Update 3

@Biohazard: Lots. ;) I usually use one layer of Badab (now Army Painter Dark Tone) followed by two layers of Devlan (now Strong Tone), but I'm talking thick layers. I mean I just used up an entire bottle of Strong Tone on these.

So washes are done, next step is going to be Leadbelcher highlights (I know how they look now but this will help them pop) and gold bits. After that I'm revising my plan - will likely get the CC squad up to the same point, then assembly-line details six models at a time until the pledge is finished.

November Update 4

@Vladvar: Thanks! Helbrute skin is a basecoat of Bugman's Glow, followed by a layer of Cadian Fleshtone, and then wet washes (i.e. don't let them dry before the next wash) of Baal Red, Leviathan Purple and Army Painter Strong Tone (or Devlan Mud). After that it gets kind of muddled since I started re-painting/-washing areas that weren't turning out right, but a further layer of Cadian Fleshtone and then a "streaky" highlight of Kislev Flesh should get a similar result.

Metallic highlights went slightly quicker than expected, starting on CC squad next, will get them up to this point and then start doing detail work half a squad at a time. Got an Apoc game coming up this weekend, though, so some of the time I'd normally spend painting will instead be spent blowing things up. I plan to have them ready by next Saturday, though.

Leadbelcher seems to be a lot brighter than Boltgun was. I actually like it like this, without lightbox-lighting my minis are rather dark and the extra contrast does them some good. I'm probably going to have to do another revamp at some point where I re-highlight fething everything again. :blush: Would be a good time to go back and paint eyes too, that's something I've been thinking about doing. Would also try doing actual firey Legion symbols, the black horned skull by itself just doesn't stand out against dark brownish-red.

In other news I just got two more Defilers (at least one of which I have evil plans for), some Guard bits for basing and I'm starting to feel pretty comfortable with how my Fellblade is turning out, so I may have some updates on those in between Call stuff.

December Update 1

@Kingdom of the Emperor: Thanks, impurity seals a tiny strip of green stuff snipped with spruecutters once or twice on one end, with a little GS blob as a nail.

Got the CC diorama guys up to the same point as everyone else and added GS fleshybits and candles to everyone. Next step is basing, then details.

Also made a bit of progress on the Fellblade, not sure if I'm done with GSing it, don't want to go too nuts with it and then find out I've gone too far after I'm already halfway done painting the thing.

The Raptors should be done pretty soon, hopefully tomorrow. Still on track to finish my pledge before the end of December.

CC squad's all that's left of the pledge. I'm probably not going to jump to the Fellblade immediately afterwards. I've actually had a Land Raider sitting around for ages (it's a half-primed mess, otherwise I'd show pics) plus two more Defilers I'd like to get out of the way before I take that project on.

January Update 1

 

Thanks for the comments, guys.

 

@TAS: At the moment they're at 120 marines, 5 terminators, 6 characters, 50 cultists, 8 vehicles and 2 superheavies, comes out to around 8000 points. That's the painted stuff - unpainted I've still got a Baneblade, 2 Defilers, a Land Raider, 13 Terminators and tons of cultist-ish models I've been tinkering with, as well as 12 Chosen in the planning stages. Plus I just got a Storm Eagle in from FW but the warping is just atrocious at the moment, will get pics of it soon.

 

So, the diorama squad is finished, which completes my Call of Chaos pledge! WHOO! I used the wrong green on the Guardsmen (WAAAGH! Flesh instead of Castellan) so they turned out GREEN rather than that sort of camo color. I kinda like it, though, so I left it that way.

 

Besides completing the Call, this also happens to round out my II Cohort, except for the Chosen command squad I've been on about. And y'know what? I feel nothing. I finally finished painting a whole company-equivalent of Chaos marines after FOUR YEARS and now all I can think of is whether or not I should start another one (and I'm sorely tempted... :tongue.: ). This hobby, man.

 

Now, with the gallery down these images are going to be smaller than usual, will edit with bigger pics once it's up and working again.

Whew. So, next project is a Land Raider. Also need to get the DV Lord and Helbrute based, probably going to do that first.
