Honorius Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Here is my Word Bearer I have been working on for the last couple days. He is close to being finished but I'm not sure if he needs anything else. It would be great if you could comment on him. I would like to get him as best looking as possible because I have a high chance of winning a GW mystery box (probably ~$200's of stuff). I have made him slightly taller than other marines by putting spacers in his thigh and leg. Enough talk, here he is: http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee141/Honorius666/Thousand%20Sons/P2050001.jpg http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee141/Honorius666/Thousand%20Sons/P2050002.jpg http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee141/Honorius666/Thousand%20Sons/P2050003.jpg http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee141/Honorius666/Thousand%20Sons/P2050004.jpg http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee141/Honorius666/Thousand%20Sons/P2050005.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/155440-word-bearer-for-conversion-competition/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminatorinhell Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 now that is NICE, especially the grille and the lower legs, I'm sure it will win at least 2nd place! hopefully 1st!

RazakelXIII Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Very nice! My main point of criticism would be that the skull on his base really doesn't like it'd support the weight he's putting on it - I really can't see him balancing on it. I'd change it to a rock or a dead marine/guardsman or something. Also, you might try tattering his impurity seals a bit (just personal taste, really). Other than that, very cool model. I love his mouth and the face on his knee especially. :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/155440-word-bearer-for-conversion-competition/#findComment-1815260 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shiodome Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 the pistol needs a small gap between the hands' knuckles and the ammo magazine. at the moment the grip is too far forwards and it looks a bit 'off'. really easy thing to fix though. :rolleyes: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/155440-word-bearer-for-conversion-competition/#findComment-1815310 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarr Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Witch Hunters Vindicare with Exitus Rifle.Right, but that's a human in a catsuit, not a several thousand pound armored Super Soldier. Other than that, lookin great. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/155440-word-bearer-for-conversion-competition/#findComment-1815351 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miniman Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 which conversion competition are we talking about here? My local GW (Mt Gravatt) is having one too, and there's a box of stuff to win aswell... I must say that it looks preety good IMO, but like others have stated, make the base skull larger, or turn it into a rock Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/155440-word-bearer-for-conversion-competition/#findComment-1815536 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusader of Dorn Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 It looks good allround, i really like the GS work the daemon head kneepad is effective. Personally i would say that its obvious that the skull would not support the weight of a space marine and it looks more like he is about to crush it. Good Job.

Brother Atheos Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Looks awesome but like others have said, the skull doesnt quite fit the bill. A large rock or a loyalist marine helmet would give a better image. there is a short story in the back of the previous DA codex which talked about DA fighting Nids and it mentioned how the multiple, piled corpses couldnt take the wieght of a marine and that you could hear the skulls pop under foot. Other than the skull issue tho, a really awesome job and i'm sure you'll do a paint job to match.
