Tzen Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 This is it! Just need to retake some pics of the Terminators which I annoyingly deleted after taking, and I'm all done! http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s172/tzen_spider/Word%20Bearers%20finished%20army/army-shot-final.jpg http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s172/tzen_spider/daemonprincefinal.jpg http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s172/tzen_spider/firstdreadfinished.jpg http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s172/tzen_spider/seconddreadfinished.jpg http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s172/tzen_spider/GUOfinished.jpg http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s172/tzen_spider/guodaemonsfinished.jpg http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s172/tzen_spider/horrorsfinished.jpg http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s172/tzen_spider/darkapostlefinished.jpg http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s172/tzen_spider/vindicatorfinished.jpg http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s172/tzen_spider/secondsquadfinished.jpg http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s172/tzen_spider/additionalsquadpic.jpg http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s172/tzen_spider/thirdsquadfinished.jpg http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s172/tzen_spider/obliterators-finished.jpg http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s172/tzen_spider/last3termsgroup.jpg http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s172/tzen_spider/firsttermfinished.jpg http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s172/tzen_spider/secondtermfinished.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/219575-tzens-word-bearers/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
GooseDaMoose Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 I saw your dreadnoughts just today on the Games Workshop site! :P I really liked the one converted from the Venerable kit, and the faceless guys with hoods are inspired. Fantastic! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/219575-tzens-word-bearers/#findComment-2619504 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montuhotep Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 The hooded guys really put me in the mind of Persian Immortals for some reason - albeit 7ft tall and in power armour....

Solid Zaku Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Hear that? It's the scratching of Dark Angel's players pens and pencils as they nick that hood idea.

Firepower Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 That's a lot of epic painting. You deserve to be proud, I suppose, even if you are a heretic :devil: Hear that? It's the scratching of Dark Angel's players pens and pencils as they nick that hood idea. Actually there was a thread in the WIP section on some fellow's Night Lords where the lighting on a pic of his Jetbiker with that same head gave the appearance that he'd done the same conversion. It left me wondering "Why hasn't anyone thought of this? It's awesome!" Voila. :angry: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/219575-tzens-word-bearers/#findComment-2620056 Share on other sites More sharing options...

XKhalilX Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 very epic indeed! my only complaint would be the black faces. I think its GENIUS, however I think if you picked out the eye lenses and left the rest as is, it would look even more sinister Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/219575-tzens-word-bearers/#findComment-2620357 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tzen Posted January 17, 2011 Author Share Posted January 17, 2011 nice..have i seen that dread on the GW site? :P Yep, I was very lucky to get my dread on their site :lol: very epic indeed! my only complaint would be the black faces. I think its GENIUS, however I think if you picked out the eye lenses and left the rest as is, it would look even more sinister I tried that originally but it looked wrong, really cartoony. As I went over them again in black the idea to just have blank hoods seemed like the better choice! :lol: Thanks for all the comments guys! I love my Word Bearers, but i prefer painting the ultras. I don't think I'm that great at painting red, and the outcome doesn't feel as satisfying as my Ultras.

worrywort Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Word Bearers and Ultramarines... two old foes no ? Great idea to mix the dark angel kit and the dark faces. I've seen to your dread in GW. It was really your first attempt with green stuff ?

Tzen Posted January 17, 2011 Author Share Posted January 17, 2011 Whilst I haven't done much with Green stuff, im not a novice at it. I did say i was a plasticard novice - I'd never ever used that before. But they mis quoted me in order to plug their products. I've had a friend who has had the same thing with his Tyranid army.

Zincite Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Ah, I did wonder when GW said that... How did you do the dark faces? Did you have to shave the helm, or just paint it black?

Lord Ragnarok Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Love the work, especially the converted Dread. The red on the marines is nice and rich. Can't wait to see more.!

Tzen Posted January 17, 2011 Author Share Posted January 17, 2011 I never thought of using DA robes for Chaos, I'm afraid I'm going to 'steal' that... I think a few people have stolen it and the hoods idea! I doubt I was the first ever to use them for Chaos but I knew I wanted to use them for my word bearers as soon as the kit came out! ^_^ Once I finish this guy and my terminators and Landraider, I'm going to try my hand at sculpting some cultists from the flagellant plastics. It will prolly die a death, but I wanna try it! :( Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/219575-tzens-word-bearers/#findComment-2622111 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tzen Posted January 18, 2011 Author Share Posted January 18, 2011 Sadly I've never been to that side of the world pond before, but I'd love to have a few games and "Shoot the breeze" (is that what you guys say?) if and when I ever get to visit! I'd love to work in America, I like the idea of living in a state that's supposed to be separate from the church. :angry: I'll leave my politics at the door tho right now ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/219575-tzens-word-bearers/#findComment-2622384 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrannicide Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Your Ultramarines are very nice, but I'm afraid that your Word Bearers are stealing the show! Very nice army and I really like the Dreadnought that featured on GW's website. :angry: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/219575-tzens-word-bearers/#findComment-2622392 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bewlay Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Woah great painting there. I love the idea of models being raised in some way and you've done it well, making he seem like he's falling down to deliver the final blow.
