The Prophet Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Hi guys! I’m so happy, since I finally finished my main spare time work for this autumn, i.e. six csm terminators with 23 swappable arms – weapons for all occasions! Now there is little time left to finish the rest of my army for this year, but still I’m proud that I finally did something at least. If you want to see them unpainted, here is a link to the WIP thread: WB Terminators WIP All comments are welcome! First some group photos: The Dark Apostle: The Aspiring Champion: The Zealot: The Guardian: The Coryphaeus: The Headsmasher (?): The full squad: Arm-y pic: Thank you for watching!

Brother Mordeus Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Very Impressive, the idea is great, the conversions are very well executed, and the painting is superb, you have all the reasons in the world to be happy. I really like the chaplain, he looks chaotic enough and still looks like a chaplain. A lot of dark apostles i have seen where just chaos lords with a crozius.

The Prophet Posted December 13, 2009 Author Share Posted December 13, 2009 Thanks! They will probably not see much battle this year, but I plan on massive conflicts in january :D Very Impressive, the idea is great, the conversions are very well executed, and the painting is superb, you have all the reasons in the world to be happy.I really like the chaplain, he looks chaotic enough and still looks like a chaplain. A lot of dark apostles i have seen where just chaos lords with a crozius. Thanks! I try hard to avoid the spiky bits version of chaos and try to give my minis a more fanatical religious touch.

Terrible_Trygon Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Ah! The Holy Word Bearers. Very nice conversion work and paintjobs. I can see them now, preaching the righteous word of the Gods, especially with the speaker units on that termie. The Apostle came out brilliantly too. I have been waiting to see a decent take on converting that model to Chaos.

The Damned Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Well done. They really look as dark and sinister as the fluff make them out to be.

The Nephilim Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Very nice. I'm working on my Word Bearer models. I can't wait to have enough done so I can post them. Time is very limited for me. You, like so many others, are a fount of inspiration. How did you do your tabards and extra "unholy" seals?

Sepsis the Unclean Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 These are great looking word bearers, you've got the fanatical zealot look down to a tea ;) Can't wait to see more.

Brother Loring Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Very nice! Probably the closest thing I've seen to what I've always thought CSM would look like!

The Prophet Posted December 13, 2009 Author Share Posted December 13, 2009 Thanks for all nice comments! Very nice. I'm working on my Word Bearer models. I can't wait to have enough done so I can post them. Time is very limited for me. You, like so many others, are a fount of inspiration. How did you do your tabards and extra "unholy" seals? Nice to see a fellow zealot! I make the tabards and the impurity seals with green stuff. I find GS to be the best putty when making these "soft materials". Trying a few times is the key to success here ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/187158-dark-apostle-terminator-retinue/#findComment-2214286 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isiah Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Here's another from me... stunning modelling, colour scheme, painting and execution. An excellent squad of models indeed. Can't wait to see further Word Bearers coming forth.

DavidKits Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 now these are the kinda models I would wish my brand new WB Terminators would turn out like. amazing and noticable. i bow to you sir and respect the work you put on these. though i wish to ask what pieces did you use to make all the different combat weapons. for one that spear is amazing and i am very curious what you used to make it.

Nakuth Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Lovely work, truly worthy of the Dark Gods. A suggestion re: The Headmasher. He looks kind of like an 'enforcer' type, ready to crack some heads together in the name of his master. Just a thought?

Kable Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Must resist temptation to start Word Bearer army! Superbly painted and converted. I for one am looking forward to more.

The Prophet Posted December 14, 2009 Author Share Posted December 14, 2009 irongaze, I thought I was fearless before I saw that picture! ^_^ now these are the kinda models I would wish my brand new WB Terminators would turn out like. amazing and noticable. i bow to you sir and respect the work you put on these. though i wish to ask what pieces did you use to make all the different combat weapons. for one that spear is amazing and i am very curious what you used to make it. Thanks! I have some more WIP shots that will be a bit more helpful I think... The Hammer: This is the easiest conversion, but one I like a lot. The top is from a fantasy chaos warrior hammer, and the rest is from one of the plastic chaos lord axe, joined together with some brown stuff, as well as on the top. The Glaive: The arm and the long stick is the staff from the CSM Terminator Lord box, while the blade and wire attached to it is cut from the plastic reaper autocannon. Just a bit of BS work. The Scimitar: The Scimitar is made from the Deathwing Power Sword in the Dark Angel Veterans box. As you can see from the pictures below, I have filed down one side of it, removed and changed the hilt with brown stuff, and made the jewel with green stuff. The Accursed Crozius: The main arm bit 'D' is the standard power mace, which is prolonged with 'B' a skeleton warrior spear, around which I have put 'F' green stuff. The head 'A' is a fantasy chaos warrior icon with a bit of 'C' brown stuff to smooth the edges and complete the circle of the icon. The pommel 'E' is something unknown I found in my bits box. Sorry for the bad picture quality, I guess I work in the darkness...

The Prophet Posted December 14, 2009 Author Share Posted December 14, 2009 So...what can we expect next? Really digging these guys! Apart for some boring rhinos and not so beautiful obliterators, I work on my cathedral from time to time which I hopefully will be able to post here in some distant future. Two land raiders and some zealots (counts-as-berzerkers) are on the gathering stage as well. But considering how slow I am, you will have to wait for quite some time...

malika666 Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Did you convert the Obliterators? There is a tutorial here somewhere on how to make up-right Obliterators. What is this cathedral? A terrainpiece? And the Zealots, will they be power armoured?

Vash113 Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Very cool, I particularly like the use of the Terminator Chaplain model for the Dark Apostle. Subtle but very nice conversions and a very clean and sweet looking paint job. Awesome models!

Lucifer216 Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Really inspirational stuff! I'm working on Word Bearers at the moment and your work really has given me some ideas.
