Hello Brothers and Sisters of B&C! Children of Chaos and Whelps of the Corpse Emperor welcome to my Blog! Been skulking around your awesome forum for a long time and was finally brought into the fold A)because I have something to post about and my dear friend Brother Heinrich wont shut up about it. lol

Anyway lets cut to the chase. I have been playing Chaos since 3rd edition as a member of the III legion, but for long as I can remember I have always wanted to start and dabble with the Word Bearers, true devotees of chaos undivided and orchestrates of the Imperium as we know it in the 41st millenium. The very esthetic of these Astartes who want nothing more than to find the truth in all things no matter the cost... then despite finding out how horrific that truth is embrace it and swear to share it with all of humanity is one that appeals to my inner philosopher and Warrior Sage. Now to get the dark devotion brewing... some fluff:

Father Ammet woke with a start. When he had lost consciousness he was in a literal
hell. Violent images flashed through his mind as he jerked on his hospital bed
restraints. The Temple to the Emperors Glory in flames, the guardian sisters of
the Adepta Sororitas bursting into bloody ribbons from mass reactive rounds,
dozens of vile heretics hands upon him, and lastly an eight pointed star burned
in his consciousness. “Sister Medicae, could you please administer a sedative?”
a smooth even voice from the corner of the room spoke. “I wish to have a word
with the good Father”

Ammet could feel a sense of
euphoria spill over him as the drugs flooded his veins. Looking around the room
he found he was no longer in hell but a simple ship board hospital room. The room
was empty except for medical equipment, a nurse in white Sororitas robes at his
bedside, and a man sitting in a chiar in the corner. Judging by his articulated
accent and expensive attire he was a Terran Highborn. Father Ammet had spoken
sermons and blessed many men like him who traveled to his temple seeking the
Emperor’s favor. Father Ammet analyzed the man in his long red leather coat and
expensive augmentics before his eyes locked on to the medallion hanging from
his neck.

The stylized crimson, “I”, of the Inquisition was
unmistakable. Before Father Ammet could say a word his head began to spin and
in a daze mumbled “He has a message for you”.

“What?” the Inquisitor asked.

Shaking his head and gaining
focus Father Ammet responded “Did I say something?” Clearing his throat and
pulling the chair closer the Inquisitor continued

“You have been through a lot
father. I am Arnibus Faust of the Holy Emperors Inquisition, Ordo Malleus
division. I am here on behalf of my master, the Inquisitor Lord Rylan Dawnhammer.
I will be blunt and to the point as time is not on our side. Seven Terran
Cycles ago a large Host of Traitor Astartes made planet fall on the Shrine World
of Angelis IV. All we known is that within the last seven days Angelis IV has
been reduced to a daemon-infested rock… Please Father I must know… What
happened down there?”

Father Ammet sat in shocked silence until another wave of drugs flooded his system. Loosing
lucidity Father Ammet chuckled “Heh…forgive my insolence Lord but what madness
do you speak? Daemons? Traitor Astartes? Such things do not exist in the
Emperors holy realm.”

Arnibus paused a moment and looked directly into the young priests blue eyes and spoke
with a voice that had spoken immortal cursed names and sentenced worlds to
death “Let me assure you Father, they are very real. After what you have seen
on Angelis I think you know better than most these abominations do in fact
exist. Now I am commanding you as an Inquisitor of the Ordo Malleus, tell me,
WHAT HAPPENED ON ANGELIS IV?!”

Father Ammets eyes rolled back once more and his head lolled, in a raspy voice he whispered
“He has a message for you” and snapped back into consciousness.

“Why do you keep saying that Father? Who has a message for me?” Arnibus asked.

“What? Ugh… I’m not sure. My mind is clouded, I can’t remember… my apologies Lord” Father
Ammet said with a sigh.

Arnibuses eyes narrowed and he slowly rested his hand on the ornate grip of his Bolt
Pistol. “Please focus Father, tell me what happened.”

A brief moment of hesitation flashed across the Fathers blue eyes as if scared to pull
the images back into his mind. With reluctance, he began speaking. “It all
began a few months ago when The Cult of One began to gain a large following.
The other priests and I thought nothing of it as zealous cults to the Emperors
Majesty pop up all the time. Once their small congregation grew to several
thousand, we brought it to the attention of the Sisterhood of Faiths Flame.
Unfortunately, their investigations yielded nothing. That’s when the dark
rumors began to spread. Whispers of a giant leading the Cult of One, talk of
secret rituals and sacrifices. It wasn’t until people started to go missing in
there hundreds that The Sisters mobilized on The Cult of One. By then it was
much too late… Throne, we were so blind. It started with the bombing of the PDF
Headquarters, there were thousands of them. They took the weapons and tanks,
Lord Emperor more than half of the PDF were Cult members! Things fell into
anarchy from there my Lord. They began calling themselves The Cult of One
Pantheon, a chaos cult my lord… HERE ON ANGELIS IV! There was so much violence.
There leader… the giant in Crimson Armor who went only by the name, ‘The Truth
Bringer’, him, and the other massive warriors like him, cut any resistance down
like wheat before the scythe. It was a massacre my Lord, they crucified the
populace on eight pointed stars in the streets. That’s when… they came… the
Daemons. I don’t know what else to call them Lord, they were things of men’s
nightmares that danced in carnage and flame. The Truth Bringer and his Giants
threw their cultists in droves at the Sisters to be butchered by flame and bolt.
It seemed to bring them joy and rapidly began to wear down the Sisterhood with
sheer numbers and fanaticism. We were barricaded in my Temple when they finally
broke in the blockades… the last thing I
rememmmm……He has a message for you…”

Father Ammets eyes rolled back a third time and his jaw locked open in a silent scream. A
voice screeched out from inside Father Ammets throat, as if spoken from his
core. “I wonder what your soul will taste like”

Arnibus shouted at the hospitalier “RUN!”. In one smooth movement Arnibus shot up out
of the chair and brought his Bolt Pistol to bare, removing Father Ammets head
in a shower of gore.

Instead of falling over as expected gurgling laughter came out of the ruined stump of Father Ammets neck.
Two rows of long razor like claws began pulling something from the top of
Father Ammets torso. Arnibus began to slowly back up to the door as he
witnessed Father Ammets viscera covered skeleton crawl from his shredded
corpse. A fanged skull regrew from where Arnibus removed it and in a screeching
voice like the sound of flesh tearing the creature growled “The Forsaken Truth
comes for you. The Truth Bringer demanded those be the last words before you
die… just as your master will one day hear.”

Arnibus knew his pistol could not
kill this Daemon, he only managed to reach up and press a small beacon on his
necklace before the creature lunged across the room faster than the eye could follow,
burying its talons in his chest. The last thing Arnibus saw was the Daemons
crimson smile… and its hellish words echoing in his mind…. Forsaken… Truth….

I have big plans for this Host and hope you all enjoy taking this journey into the XVII Legion with me. My Chapter is known as The Chapter of the Forsaken Truth. Here is Brother Bob my test model lol:

http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y401/dougt35071/112_zps4a162656.jpg

Bob may not be much but he is a brave soul for being the first brother for me to practice my growing modeling skills and new ideas on. In the coming week I will post more to flesh out the background on my Host, filling in on all the characters. Also this week we shall see how Bob develops and progresses before we tear into the other members of his Squad. I do not have the flair or skill with neither hobbying or social media that my esteemed Brother Heinrich does, but I will do my best to keep you all entertained and inspire my fellow Veterans of the Long War to greatness. But not tonight... its 2am on a work night here... lol thanks all and enjoy

"Beliefs are Immortal my sons, once planted into a mans mind it spreads to all who hears or reads his word. Through one belief, through one Word we too are Immortal... Chaos my sons... Chaos is eternal and through it so too are we. Let the Word be spread..."- Dark Sermon of Othudel Los

[Grotsmasha]

Looking good, although I suggest putting half of that spacer in the lower leg to keep proportions a little better, even if it is slightly more work. Judging by the GSing, you're not afraid of a little extra work.

 

Cheers,

Jono

[BrotherCaptainArkhan]

Legitimately could not think of anything else but this when I saw the thread title...thanks for that earworm!

 

What is the added length of the spacers? 3mm? I use 2mm and it looks (imho) fine, although I have received two criticisms in the past that it's been too much. You might find that adding the spacers at the very top of the thigh (e.g. right after the soft hip armour) allows you to position the legs more naturally with a little GS work.

 

Nice stuff so far! :)

[Veteran Sergeant]

I use 1mm at the thigh and 1mm at the shin.

It basically doubles the work, but the proportions come out better. Nice start though. Welcome to the long, labor intensive road of tall scaling, lol.

[Brother Heinrich]

Welcome brother, always good to see more chaos up in this mother er. Personally I see no issue with just spacing the thighs, it allows more room for gear and activities ;)

[Kibosh]

Thanks for the tips all (and the much better banner Heinrich ) lol I'll play around with different sized spacers this week... poor bob lol

[Brother Heinrich]

Bob is a willing vessel for the will of the dark gods, it puts the lotion on its skin.

[Kibosh]

Big Updated Coming soon...

[Kibosh]

Hello fellow children of Chaos! I have returned with a little update. Sorry I haven't posted more lately but I am in the military and my work schedule has not been kind. So what I have tonight is my Dark Apostle Othudel Los, Dark Apostle of the Forsaken Truth:

 

Sister Superior Elena shouted into her helmet vox over the din of battle “Sell your
lives dearly sisters! Take as many of these heretic scum with you as you can,
for the Holy Emperor watches over us and we will not be found wanting!” Elena
knew their situation was hopeless. Her and four of her sisters took cover at
the top of the cathedral stairs. Looking out over the courtyard, she could see
thousands of Chaos Cultists swarming towards their position.

 

At first the flamer and grenades were enough to keep them at bay, but the
promethium quickly ran dry and grenades were soon spent against such numbers.
Firing at point blank range on full auto, she knew they would soon run out of
bolter rounds as well. The Cultists came at them like rabid animals, they felt
no fear or pain, as if some unseen hand was driving them forward. With a sudden
surge of bodies, a mass of screaming fanatics overwhelmed Sister Irista,
shooting crude auto-pistols into her armor joints and bludgeoning her to death
with makeshift clubs and tools. Seeing her sister fall, Elena rushed forward to
plug the gap in their defense. With wide, swinging arcs of her chainsword she
cut down the cultists attempting to overwhelm them. It was then that she
spotted a massive shadow moving through the mob. The ocean of maddened heretics
seemed to part and ebb before the figure as it walked toward the sister’s
position. Through the press of bodies, Elena finally glimpsed the figure. It
was a massive warrior of the Adeptus Astartes clad in baroque, terminator war-plate
the color of old blood and adorned with vile scripture and fetishes. Elena
realized this warrior was one of the infamous fallen angels of death, a thing
of nightmares, a Chaos Space Marine. In one hand he carried a massive scythed
weapon that bore a dark similarity to the Crozius Arcanum carried by the
chaplains of Imperial Space Marines. Holding it aloft like a dark banner; in the
other he cradled a book, bound in what appeared to be skin, like a precious
infant. The very air seemed to twist and shimmer around the giant; cultists he
passed by warped and changed while others simply fell over dead.

 

                “The foul master of these
degenerates shows his face! Kill the traitor Sisters! Focus fire!” Elena
shouted. As the sisters sent controlled bursts at the Dark Apostle, cultists
threw themselves in front of the rounds with fanatical grins plastered across
their faces. Once the Dark Apostle stood before the sisters a deep, charismatic
voice issued from the grinning horned daemon mask of his ancient war-helm.
“Poor, poor, ignorant souls. You have been lied to and blinded for so long. Do
not worry, I have come to show you the truth” his voice resonated through their
minds and echoed through the courtyard.

 

                “Steal your selves sisters!
Listen not to the words of the heretic! Close your minds and deny the witch!”
clashing their fists against their chests as one they shouted “Deny the Witch!
Burn the Heretic” in perfect unison. Before they could raise their bolters
again the Dark Apostle spoke.

 

“I am Othudel Los… and
this is the Truth” quickly holding the book out before him the pages snapped
open and the sound of a million souls shrieking in agony thundered out across
the courtyard as reality ripped open in front of him. The unreality that
spilled from the pages pulled the entire fortification inside along with the
screaming sisters. Several Cultists were pulled in as well, some intentionally
jumping in with rapturous abandon. Just as quickly as it opened, Othudel
snapped the book closed and addressed his flock “Rejoice my children! For they
are now one with the Gods! They have become the Truth! Now onwards children!
Tear this disgusting edifice to a false God down! The true pantheon is with
us!”  With a deafening roar, the tide of
chaos charged the temple.

what I got so far, still have 3 Anointed to go but not sure how to outfit them. Also be posting up some fluff on the Chapter of the Forsaken Truth as a whole soon so people can get an inside look at The Host and each individual character to give it some depth and inspiration. As always CC is always welcome. Cheers

[Captain Semper]

Very interesting conversions there kibosh! :tu: can't wait to see your force increase in numbers! Great fluff too!

 

Keep going! :yes:

[Kibosh]

Keep going!

Thanks a lot Captian. Still needs a lot of work but I am pleased with the direction it is heading.

Here are the last of my Anointed, as always they are a work in progress and I still need to put in spacers and add bits, GS, and paint to them:

http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y401/dougt35071/IMG_0615_zpsc510506e.jpg

Well those are my prototypes for now, like I said still got a lot of work to go but love where this is going, up next I'll probably get to work on my normal chaos squad. Time to make Bob some friends to be all zealous with. lol As always C&C welcome

[Brother Heinrich]

Man I freaking love the conversions and bits on these guys, very Word Bearer and dynamic as well. I really like the last dude who looks like he's sermonizing, awesome. It's getting harder and harder to justify not ripping apart my Atramentar and red-doing them. Can't wait to see more man, keep up the great work.

[Greyall]

The Forgotten Book of Hentai...could it be?

 

Kidding, mate. Killer conversions, love the hooded terminators.

[Kibosh]

Woooo sorry its been a while guys. Hard building and army then blog about it while trying to separate from the Marines lol. BUT I have been building my Anointed are ready for paint, got a Land Raider just awaiting treads and 3 of my first squad about done here take a peak:

Little Diamonds in the Rough lol. Anyway CC welcome as always, do love the input.

[Brother Heinrich]

Still cannot get over how much I love that champion brother. His posing is outstanding, all the angles are nice and complementary and it's overall just super pleasing to the eye. Only critique i have (and this applies more to the standard bearer than anything else) is make sure you clean up those mold lines prior to us painting them. Other than that, stellar freaking work, can't wait to see the rest of this awesome war-band!

[Kibosh]

Yeah those are older pictures of my Standard Bearer before I put him through the fine point phase and stuck him on a final base. You will see him in his final phase once I get home and we start painting. Thanks for the input brother, still have a lot of work to do on these guys.

[Kibosh]

ugh... even when I look at my champ and heavy weapons specialist I see little touch ups I need to do lol

[Brother Heinrich]

I do that all the time, I think we're both perfectionist III Legion at heart lol. 

[Noctus Cornix]

Now that is one bad ass Champion. Can certainly use some touch ups but don't all our models? He's got a nice pose and an awesome assortment of bitz that pulls him together. Good Job.

[ElDuderino]

Woooo sorry its been a while guys. Hard building and army then blog about it while trying to separate from the Marines lol. BUT I have been building my Anointed are ready for paint, got a Land Raider just awaiting treads and 3 of my first squad about done here take a peak:

 Really nice work, love the small bits everywhere, they really look natural on your minis! I'm getting inspired to fill my own bitz box up a bit too, might i ask where that horned skull on the shoulder pad above comes from?

[Kibosh]

That brother would be from the Grey Knights Terminator Squad. Little skull that's supposed to go on the base or something. Glad you like the kit bashes.

[Kibosh]

Another little update brothers. Here is the Anointed in there final evolution. All that's left is trim a few mold lines and paint:

Really like the bases and very excited to get back to the states and paint these bad boys up with my brother Hienrich. As always C&C welcome.

[Rift Blade]

Really like your work. Hoping to see more plus paint on the ones you've already made.

[Kibosh]

Really like your work. Hoping to see more plus paint on the ones you've already made.

Thank you brother, I aim to please. Slowly but surely Ill get more up and painting should begin shortly once I get back to the states.

[macas]

Stunning Conversions mate.
