m0nolith Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Wow, Lorgar looks positively badass. He looks as if he is wearing some kind of magma based armor!

Tzen Posted June 21, 2016 Author Share Posted June 21, 2016 Thanks M0nolith! I am quite happy with how Lorgar turned out. I managed to spend a good amount of time on him! Shame the spawn look a bit :cuss, but I don't have the time to spend ages on every model :( Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/219575-tzens-word-bearers/page/19/#findComment-4425606 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDarkApostle Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Not 100% convinced about the eyes, and the lack of a mouth bothers me for some reason. But I do love the tentacles alot!

Knight of the Raven Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Or to post something better than a reaction image, he's beautiful. I love the highlights. I must admit I'd rather have him with a helmet though... as well painted as his head is, I feel the model would be even better with a helmet.

Tzen Posted June 28, 2016 Author Share Posted June 28, 2016 Love the image! :D And I agree. There are two things that dont sit too well with me on this mini. The face and the weapon. The weapon seems too small. I was so tempted to convert him, but because it was limited release, I wanted to keep him "pure".

Quixus Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 The miniature looks awesome. I was about to comment on how he looks weird because he has red armour yet looks uncorrupted, but since you wanted to keep him pure, I understand. Maybe add some glowing runes or something like that.

Tzen Posted June 28, 2016 Author Share Posted June 28, 2016 When I do the legion symbol on his shoulder pad I may add some colchisian runes to him. But I just quite like the clean lines of the armour. I get the impression that, whilst he believes in his primarch and his teachings, this guy looks like he doesn't much care for rituals and gods. He just really really like fighting. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/219575-tzens-word-bearers/page/19/#findComment-4431128 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The weapon seems too small. I was so tempted to convert him, but because it was limited release, I wanted to keep him "pure". Yeah I think it's because it's at that awkward halfway in-between a sword and a halberd/naginata, either you want a longer blade and shorter handle to reinforce the "sword" image or the reversed, a shorter blade and longer handle to reinforce the halberd/naginata. Other than that, which is a problem with the sculpt itself, you've accomplished a superb paintjob! I really, really like the crisp red highlights Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/219575-tzens-word-bearers/page/19/#findComment-4431188 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzen Posted June 29, 2016 Author Share Posted June 29, 2016 Yeah. It's kinda like he can't decided if he wants a halberd or a sword, so decided to compromise! :D Glad you like it Dark Apostle! :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/219575-tzens-word-bearers/page/19/#findComment-4431382 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight of the Raven Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 The video game Mount & Blade: Warband has such a weapon and they call it a 'shortened military scythe,' for what it's worth. It's one mean weapon. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/219575-tzens-word-bearers/page/19/#findComment-4432759 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzen Posted July 1, 2016 Author Share Posted July 1, 2016 Interesting to know! I've seen some really interesting conversions where the weapon has been turned into a thunder hammer and such. I have a second one, so who knows! :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/219575-tzens-word-bearers/page/19/#findComment-4433008 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight of the Raven Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 To prove I'm not joking: Yeah, I saw a good-looking conversion with a thunder hammer... can't find it though. I think he was a Minotaur? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/219575-tzens-word-bearers/page/19/#findComment-4435250 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzen Posted July 5, 2016 Author Share Posted July 5, 2016 Oooh. Looks interesting. I still don't like the weapon all that much, but it's nice to have some context to put it into! :D Need to work on the Fire Raptor but I never seem to have much time at the moment!

abadizzle Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Very interesting to see him in word bearers colors... Honestly don't think he fits at all! Tahah! Fantastic paint job as usual though! You just get better and better... Plateau-out for pete's sake- you're making us all look bad! Jokes aside, I really hope the 2nd one will be an ultra! Great work, man!

Knight of the Raven Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 It was this one, yes. It's nice that your helmet is unpainted, I had to cut off like a third off my painted (with highlights!) deathshroud helmet to make it fit the small gap where the head is supposed to go.

Tzen Posted July 15, 2016 Author Share Posted July 15, 2016 Couple of pics I took from the game I had last night at the wardens of the north gaming club! The twenty pence is the relic, from the mission of "the relic"! http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/13707612_1760906237532146_4716541556663711581_n.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/13731536_1760906240865479_9005543295063431702_n.jpg I only had four minis left at the end of the game, the nids had two. A Flyrant and a Mawloc. The nid player was using the new cultists. They have a lot of rending attacks which means not a great deal against my spawn, but because they are all fearless the sheer volume of models they have basically means they will do enough wounds to kill me off eventually. Luckily I got Invisibility on both my sorcerers, so it mitigated the large amounts of dice being thrown!

Res Ipsa Loquitur Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 I'm also British and since Brexit, also not sure how I feel about that fact. That's a debate for another forum though, so in the meantime I am mindfully ogling your minis.
