AndseWB Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Hello! Having played 40k a few years back with my Blood Angels army, this new edition really got me hooked to come back (I've played only Warhammer Fantasy the last 3 years or so). My choice of army fell on Chaos, more specific The Word Bearer Legion. This is my first model, unfortunatly, without paint. He is an Aspiring Champion for my first Chaos Marine Squad. http://i50.tinypic.com/xggl7q.jpg http://i45.tinypic.com/24o84de.jpg Color scheme is obvious, but once I settle on a red recipe, I will post some pictures of him painted. My ideas for decoration is lots of scripture on the armor and the impurity seals I've added. I also have the idea of mixing robed marines with the regular ones, using the Dark Angel Veterans. Anything else i can do / use to spice up my regular marines?

Dorns Templar Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Nice looking champion. I always envisage the Word Bearers as having scripture on their armour, along with the impurity seals and flayed skin covered in script, just like you've said. The robed marines would be good for unit leaders, or chosen. Some of the Black Templar torsos with tabards might look good too. Keep up the good work.

AndseWB Posted July 5, 2012 Author Share Posted July 5, 2012 Here are some more WIP images of the Aspiring Champion.

AndseWB Posted July 8, 2012 Author Share Posted July 8, 2012 And here is the finished Aspiring Champion. I'm quite satisfied with the red, so I have 2 more finished soon. http://i49.tinypic.com/bary9.jpg http://i46.tinypic.com/fzahsi.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/255559-ramblings-of-a-returning-hobbyist/#findComment-3114504 Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndseWB Posted July 10, 2012 Author Share Posted July 10, 2012 Thanks! I have just aquirred a juicy Daemon Prince that I have assembled a modified slightly. One thing that I'm unsure of is - What skin color goes well with the red armor? As for playing, I havnt really looked too much into the bew ruleset. So my question is. Would it be worth it for me, to pick up some lesser daemons? As I understand, Word Bearers use them quite a bit, but I don't want to gimp my army to include them.

AndseWB Posted July 13, 2012 Author Share Posted July 13, 2012 And here is my WIP Daemon Prince. I'm quite satisfied with the skin and i think it will go okay with the red armor. Anyone got ideas for the wing membrane? Colors I mean. http://i48.tinypic.com/3310f1e.jpg http://i49.tinypic.com/14chbw4.jpg http://i48.tinypic.com/2e0md0p.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/255559-ramblings-of-a-returning-hobbyist/#findComment-3120319 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndseWB Posted July 17, 2012 Author Share Posted July 17, 2012 So I have almost finished up the Daemon Prince. I'm not too sure on the wing membrane - Any suggestions? Should I highlight all the red, as I did with the shoulderpads, or keep it like this, sort of daemonic? Here are the pics. http://i50.tinypic.com/23jpdog.png http://i47.tinypic.com/sy2z47.png http://i48.tinypic.com/2zqwzye.png http://i49.tinypic.com/34pi8a8.png And a closeup on the front. http://i45.tinypic.com/m8dx86.png Anything I could/should do differently?

AndseWB Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share Posted July 18, 2012 Well done. Really doing the Word Bearers proud. Love the red on the DP shoulder. I'm guessing Scab red then highlight with Blood red, maybe a mix in between? Cheers! -Tarvik Thanks! The shoulders are basecoated with the new gw cllor - Khorne something Followed by a heavy wash of the "new" devlan mud. Highlights are 3 stages - the basecoat, wazdakka red followed by blazing orange. Sorry about the color names, but I don't remember the exact names of the new gw colors.

daemonclaw Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 very nice my only comment would be the impurity seals look a little thick and static maybe a little bend or twist will add something Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/255559-ramblings-of-a-returning-hobbyist/#findComment-3126922 Share on other sites More sharing options...
