Seahawk Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Hey all, I figured I might as well get this posted considering it's painted and all. It's not the entirety of them, just what I happened to take the pictures of that day. As far as I could tell from the Visions series, Word Bearer ships were grey with some other color for details, so that's what I did. I chose purple for two reasons: it is my fiancee's fleet after all, plus I had a thing for painting purple at the time. Still do...good color! Anyway, onto the fleet... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/veritas117/My%20Best%20Models/100_5744.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/veritas117/My%20Best%20Models/100_5761.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/veritas117/My%20Best%20Models/100_5763.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/veritas117/My%20Best%20Models/100_5747.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/veritas117/My%20Best%20Models/100_5748.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/veritas117/My%20Best%20Models/100_5751.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/veritas117/My%20Best%20Models/100_5755.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/veritas117/My%20Best%20Models/100_5757.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/214797-word-bearers-warfleet/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khestra the Unbeheld Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 I see you opted to leave off the stupid side vanes from your Desolator as well, good call. I like the color scheme, as well as the mods you made to that center cruiser in the 5th and 6th pics.

Seahawk Posted November 10, 2010 Author Share Posted November 10, 2010 Egads yes I really disliked the looks of all the vanes and such. This way the battleship is as streamlined and sexy as it can be...for an evil ship of course. The Devastation's modifications weren't exactly by choice, heh. I acquired it from a friend who no longer played...but not before his dog had gotten to it heh. It was missing the entire bow area, forward the launch bays (which are dog-teeth flattened and dented...battle damage!). It has weapons batteries on the prow and is pointy, so I raided my bits for whatever worked. Chaos smoke launchers and cattleprod to the rescue!

Kythnos Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 I'm not a big fan of purple, but apart from that they look good in my opinion. A clear theme, which looks evil and vicious. That's the way it should be :) But you got me interested on another thing, because of your choice of colour: My own IW-fleet is painted in their post-heresy colour, but do you know a source for their pre-heresy look?

The_son_of_Dorn Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 would of chosen their pre heresy red/orange to show how important/ legendary the ships are but still very nice :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/214797-word-bearers-warfleet/#findComment-2558640 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawk Posted November 10, 2010 Author Share Posted November 10, 2010 I honestly have no idea on Legion fleet colors, other than the standard chaos menacing/brooding/heavy/evil look. I only gleaned the info about the fleet being grey from the BL Visions of Heresy book, so any more info would be appreciated.
