I'll make some on topic observations now if it's ok with you guys.  There appears to be a mold line running down the toe of his right boot that stands out to my eye.  I like the use of the cultist left hand but it looks a little spindly for a guy with multiple icons of Khorne on his person.  How were you planning on painting the empty hood area?

>implying that anyone was even going to mention Badab

>implying that this is even about Badab

 

:wink:

 

Brother Heinrich mentioned Badab days ago so now everything's about Badab buddy.:teehee:

 

I'll make some on topic observations now if it's ok with you guys.

 

I don't consider this as any sort of crime, so I'm fine with it :wink:

I just assume that you guys read everything I post in every topic I post in, that's what I do for all of the people in my friends list.  Now if there is a setting or button I'm my profile to automatically update me every time I log into the boards I would save a lot of time tracking down and reading what I consider the "Daily News.":wink.:

 

Oh thank God, an actual commenter. :teehee:

 

Ya, now that you mention it, I see that too. In all actuality, he's a Sorcerer, not a Khorne Worshipper.

I was getting a sorcerer vibe from him that's why I mentioned the Icons I spotted.  I really like the cultist "claw" on him so please don't change that, maybe swap out the sword for a different weapon or a staff?

I like the sword though. :c

 

The reason why he has the Icon is two things. 1. he's a Word Bearer and despite being a Sorcerer he worships the Blood God never the less. 2. Being a Psycher, it is more than likely more difficult to appease the Skull King and summon his daemons onto the field of war. So he keeps charms and fetishes of the Blood God to help in this endeavor.

I just jump around the forum, looking at various threads and usually clicking on any thread where people that I (more rather than less) know have posted. I'm just lucky to be stumbling on a fair number of your posts today, mikhail ;) And there's, to my limited knowledge, no such functionality, though I wouldn't mind there being one!

I'm not going to go multi-quoting all of the above but I am going to reply to both of you.

 

Noctis.  I understand a little better now.  I was thinking that he was a Night Lord not a Word Bearer.  I think that the icons are well explained and will fit in once you have him painted.  You might want to consider fitting an actual skull on him somewhere though with the mark of Khorne carved or painted on in blood.  That would be a very fitting talisman for summoning demons onto the battlefield.  He would look good with a WB shoulder pad or two from the Ashen Circle on him as well.  PM me, I know a guy that will send you a pair to swap onto him if you want them.  The esoteric symbols on the right hand pad in particular would look really sweet on a sorcerer.

 

Ludovic.  I agree with everything you just posted, right down to the stumbling.  I actually have noticed that I follow I fair number of Blogs on the wider internet that you seem to comment on.  I'm not sure if that's creepy or cool, I'm leaning towards cool though.

Noctus: Concerning the Centurion, I'm not too keen on the helmet choice (looks a bit too elongated) but that's just me. Otherwise, nice arrogant pose, which is probably what you were going for, right? ;)

 

mikhail: We seem to have similar tastes, good sir. And that is indeed pretty cool!

 

Vazzy: >implying that I was implying implications

>implying that being lucky is not fun

“The old order changeth, yielding place to new.”

 

His world went black with a thunderous crack. The full weight of the power maul fell into his check plate, splintering cerulean ceramite and reinforced bone alike. The world was weightless for a moment, his body floating through the air before it all came crashing down with him up the cracked marble floor. Brother Quintus Varros returned from the waters of unconsciousness with a start, his eyes jolting open with the spark of agony that raced throughout his genetically modified form. Reaching up to his chest plate, he felt along the contours of where his golden aquilla design had once been now only to find it broken, thick jagged splinters of armour dug deep into his bleeding chest. It burned just to breath, each and every breath becoming heavier and heavier letting him know that his lungs were filling with his own blood. Heaving crimson life fluids into his helmet, the gurgling marine tried to regain his composure.

And then it came, the sound of heavy ceramite footfalls inching towards him in slow methodical precision. Within an instant his pain was forgotten and what remained of his broken body snapped into action with the pump of combat stimulants and pain repressors. He shifted to his right, catching the feint glimpse of his bolter laying next to him. He turned, extending out his right hand to snatch for it, some kind of measure to fight back against his hated foe.

Too late.

With the screaming bark of a warp-tainted bolter, Quintus watched as his arm exploded before his very eyes in a fantastic display of gore, sent reeling back only moments later as another burst of bolter fire battered along his pauldron guard and utterly defacing the sacred heraldry of the Ultramarines. Another attempt to raise himself up to his feet, yet his defiance was denied as a crimson foot set itself upon his broken chest and slammed his body back into the small crater of broken cobblestone. He hacked and heaved, trying to regain his breath, yet he paused, hearing the sudden audible drip of gore splattering across his face plate. His eyes shifted upwards, slowly staring up towards the blood smeared visage of a silver skull staring intently back at him. He snarled beneath his breath, muttering a soft prayer to the Emperor at such an unholy sight. Oh how fallen had their once kindred of the XVII become…

The beast of crimson and corroded silver stared upon him silently, almost as if examining him. And then it began to speak, yet no words formulated from it. The creature only made a mixture of wet gargling noises and rasping growls, a long blood-soaked tongue slithering from the deformed mess that protruded from beneath his mask.

‘You’ve strayed far from your flock, little one. . .’

The words hissed in the back of Quintus’ mind, like a knife piercing its way into his skull, he cringed with aching pain to simply listen. The Ultramarine growled through cracked lips, spitting his defiance through envenomed words when his arms had failed him. “Do your worst, fallen one… I will be at the Emperor’s side while you rot in damnation.. If you hate me and my brothers so, then get it over with.” But the beast’s head reeled backwards at that, thick gargling noises repeating in quick succession. Quintus could make nothing of this after, only then realizing with the sudden sting of his mind being invaded once more that the monster was laughing.

‘Hate you?... Oh we do not hate you, little one… No, not like our misguided brothers… No.. We love thee, more than any other son of the Corpse God. You showed us truth, the error of our mistake in believing in Gods.. You showed us the path to salvation..’

With that, the Word Bearer tossed his Power Maul to the side and let the ancient Crozius fall with a heavy thud. His knees gave and he dropped himself over the broken Ultramarine. With his one hand, his one good hand, the monster reached upon his belt and grasped the handle of a wicked Obsidian blade. He drew it before Quintus’ very eyes, the black metal glowing with a feint crimson pulse.

‘And your kind makes the most delectable offerings for the Netherborn…’
