caboosebe Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Hello again, some might remember that I posted a thread about Iron Warrior bases not so long ago. For all those who don't know/remember: I'm modeling and painting evry Chaos Legion + few warbands (yes I'm that nuts). As for basing them, I like to have it that evry base represent the Legion. So far I have: Legions: Iron Warriors: city ruins + trenches Black Legion: gravel + grass (largest legion should have most common base (in my opinion that is), and they represent evrything and nothing) World Eaters: Cooled down pitch black lava rocks with a river of blood (water effects) Thousand Sons: Egyptian desert theme (don't have them yet but that will be the base) Death Guard: Slimy swamp (don't have them yet but that will be the base) Warbands: Skyrar dark Wolves: Snow The Purge: Dead, dried out ground This time I'm working on Word Bearers, group of CSM and Possessed. And I have absolutely no idea what to put on the base and represent Word Bearers. Any suggestions would be welcome. Also, if you have ideas for the other Legions, post them aswel so I don't have to annoy people with 3 more threats in the future :) Thank you for your time Caboose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rik Riorik Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Tough one if you really want it to represent Word Bearers and not just be random bases of some sort of terrain that you happen to like. It all boils down to what is iconic for the Bearers of the Word which is zealous faith, the occult and daemons really. Extrapolating from that it could be summoning circles, pentagrams, candles, daemonic entities emerging, books, warp portals, sacrifices, chaos effigies or symbols of faith and quite possibly lots more! Not saying that some of those would be easy to implement but that should give you some ideas :) Spread the Word! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alys Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Broken city-scape, with deamonic presence... like alien plants, fungus or even nurgle's rot growing through the cracks with glowing chaos icons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertboxer Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 how about a marble looking base? fallen columns here and there perhaps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexington Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I'm similarly stuck on what to do with WB bases, but I've noticed that sort of light, slate gray tends to have a pleasing contrast with their red/black/green/orange color scheme.

Sykosis Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 don't foregt you could go with the "sacrifice grounds" theme, namely rivlets of blood and slain foes on the bases in various degrees of dismemberment as a dark effigy to the 4 gods. i would try to keep the ground a greyish color to show kinda a "what they where" feel, as it was their pre-heresy coloring to contrast with what they are now, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
