Biohazard Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Sounds like a plan, by the look of the detail on that contempt in surprised your not spitting gibberish to the dark gods.

Doghouse Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Fantastic stuff, wasn't really sure about the model when I saw it on the fw site but you have really done it justice and made the details shine. :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/278640-tzens-word-bearers-wip-blog/page/27/#findComment-4232341 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tzen Posted November 23, 2015 Author Share Posted November 23, 2015 Haha ta chaps!  Might do some terrain and the Forge World rogue psyker next. Just to mix things up a bit! (And I need more terrain).   Dude. The Mhara Gal looks great.  Also this WIP log started in August 2013. I wish I had your dedication.  Funny thing is, this isn't my first thread for these guys, it got wiped out by some technical issue a while back! :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/278640-tzens-word-bearers-wip-blog/page/27/#findComment-4232529 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tzen Posted November 23, 2015 Author Share Posted November 23, 2015 Thanks Hydra! :D  Two comments have cropped up more than once since I posted the finished Mhara Gal.  First  - How big is he? Can we get a marine next to him for scale?  Second - You should take a picture of him with the Gal Vorbak and your Possessed marines.  So who am I to disappoint? :D  http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/mgndave.jpg  Mhara Gal and "Dave" the plaguemarine.  http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/mgnfrands.jpg  Gal and friends!  http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/mgnmoarfrands.jpg  Gal and more friends! :D  The difference in the shade of red I use now and when I painted the rest of these minis is pretty apparent. I wont re paint them, but just find it interesting.  Oh and I much prefer the "desk top" pics I take. I just like seeing people's work spaces, and I think the light box pictures come across a little sterile. Just my opinion mind!

KrautScientist Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Absolutely brilliant work on the mutated Contemptor. I wasn't really sure about the model before, but your paintjob really sells it. The group picture with the Gal'vorbak should be featured on the Forgeworld site -- make sure to send it to them! :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/278640-tzens-word-bearers-wip-blog/page/27/#findComment-4232920 Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrautScientist Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Well, if all else fails, you can always go with the WD e-mail address -- after all, the've repeatedly published some of your models in the past, haven't they?

Tzen Posted November 24, 2015 Author Share Posted November 24, 2015 Sometimes I buy a miniature simply to paint. I imagine many of you lot are the same. However I have to admit, right now the model on the left of this picture is probably my favourite miniature.  http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/twopsy.jpg  I can't tell you why, I just knew the minute I saw it many years ago that I had to own and paint it. Well recently a trip to Warhammer World finally allowed me to purchase it!  There are loads of models I have bought purely because I thought they looked rad as hell, but I honestly think the floating Chaos Psyker has to be the top. There's a few out there that compete with it, but if I had to sit and choose one, this would be it.  Anyone else have a model they bought purely to own it!?

ShVagYeR Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Looks a lot like floating cultists from the Space Marine video game. Can't wait to see you paint it. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/278640-tzens-word-bearers-wip-blog/page/27/#findComment-4233888 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzen Posted November 24, 2015 Author Share Posted November 24, 2015 It's the miniature that inspired the cultist! :D They pretty much stole the idea, which is great, because it is a great idea! :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/278640-tzens-word-bearers-wip-blog/page/27/#findComment-4233917 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RazakelXIII Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 I totally agree with you about how "busy" the Mhara Gal looks and it's why I don't have one yet myself. My eyes always feel a bit confused by pics of the thing, but I think you did a great job showing all the (very nicely sculpted) detail without making the model look as messy as it unfortunately tends to. I'm not sure it would have worked with your brighter paint scheme, but with the new darker one there's such a strong contrast between the base colors and the highlights that it makes the whole thing much more visually palatable. Anyway, astoundingly clean painting as usual, Tzen. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/278640-tzens-word-bearers-wip-blog/page/27/#findComment-4234737 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soric Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 I agree with you on the worktop shots for showing off minis, feel it gives them more character, although decent light box shots allows you to show off details better. Also I have two tubs of minis that were bought with the notion of painting them just for the hell of it, that I'm slowly just getting round to. Regardless of the change in recipe, your Word Bearers still look impressive together.

Argent aquila Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Haha, my entire necron collection was just for the hell of it, i had to borrow friends' pieces any time i wanted to play as 'em (the unbuilt tombstalker in my room is my pinnacle of that idea!) Â Then there's the riptide.... still alone and unsupported on my shelf... someday. Â someday. Â Â Gotta say that i hate trying to snipe those damned floating psykers with a lascannon when i play the space marine campaing on hard, they're annoying as all hell to hit and they strip your shields away like nobodies' business!! Â Â Aaaanyway, can't wait to see the new psykers painted. Have fun with 'em!!
