bluntblade Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Ogle away! :D And I know what you mean about Brexit. Either side of the argument for and against, we are living in interesting times! I'm sitting in New Zealand, watching everything go to strange places back home. Quite glad I'm this far away.

Ascanius Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Tzen, I really admire your work. Crazy how long this thread has been going, and how consistently impressive your work has been throughout that time.

Tzen Posted August 7, 2016 Author Share Posted August 7, 2016 Thanks Newtoncain and Mhacdebhandia! :D I sometimes feel that my Word Bearers have run their course and I should just start something totally fresh and new. But then things like the Horus Heresy happen and I am sucked right back in! I have loads of standard 30k marines to do next, and Erebus and Kor Phaeron to do. But I have sooooo many projects on the go at the moment that I just can't keep up with them all!

Ascanius Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 The funny thing is, of course, over the years you've basically done everything that happens to the Word Bearers over the course of the Heresy, from pretty standard-looking troops to the most twisted and crazy daemonic forms.

Tzen Posted August 9, 2016 Author Share Posted August 9, 2016 That's really been the fun of the blog. When i first started blogging I was pretty sceptical about it. Largely because I didn't think anyone would care, but also because my photography skills were pretty shocking. But having to learn to take pics, and being able to look back on earlier minis is a boon. I think I learnt more about painting by putting my models under the scrutiny of the camera, and others pointing out mistakes, than at any other point in my hobby career. I tend to think after a new unit is done "okay, that's it then - Word Bearers finished". But there is looooaadsss more I could be doing. I really need to do a Renegade Knight for my 40k list, and I have loads of standard heresy marines to paint. Plus my undead army takes up my time, my Ultramarines need some love soon, I am painting up a few Warmachine bits. I keep meaning to start my Harlequins... ... I will die before I ever get everything I want to do finished in this hobby! :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/219575-tzens-word-bearers/page/20/#findComment-4462111 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dosjetka Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Is it just me or are you using shoulder pads with thicker rims than the usual MK IV pads?

Khornestar Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Those beefy fists are balanced nicely by the mk IV jump packs. Coooooool. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/219575-tzens-word-bearers/page/20/#findComment-4544110 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quixus Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Looking great. Maybe give the aimed plasma pistol a bit more glow, like it is just charging up for the shot. BTW that is a lot of plasma for such a small squad.

Knight of the Raven Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 I love how trichromatic these assault marines look. Looks like the plasma pistol's barrel on the leftmost marine isn't drilled, but I'm not asking you to drill it; I know from personal experience how easy it is to ruin a muzzle...

Tzen Posted October 25, 2016 Author Share Posted October 25, 2016 Surprisingly enough it is drilled, but some gunk got in it with some plastic glue and I forgot all about it! :D I'm also in two minds about drilling plasma weaponry of any kind. I thought the nozzle of them was meant to be super heated discs which hold the plasma in a ball at the end of the gun then it's magnetically shot out? I'm no weapons guy though, just an assumption. I realised a lot of them come hollow these days so I must be wrong!

Nemac Vradon Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Lovely unit there mate, that red is fantastic, so uniform and very striking :tu: What are you planning on adding to these?

Tzen Posted October 25, 2016 Author Share Posted October 25, 2016 My plan is to have two units of 10 assault marines for my basic troops in 30k. After these I need to paint up Erebus and Kor Phaeron, then probably buy some Rapier laser destroyers!

Nemac Vradon Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Excellent, I should probably get some of those Rapiers at some point :D. I can't wait to see what you do with them.

Tzen Posted November 4, 2016 Author Share Posted November 4, 2016 I thought I'd share this link with you all: https://www.twitch.tv/malicht/v/98950329?t=01s I have started to live stream my painting. It wont be for every model and the actual reason I got a camera was to do tutorials. But I thought I'd stream today and see how it went. Pretty happy with the result!
