Tzen Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share Posted February 7, 2014 Ta guys! :D Heldrake's head has now been given a lick of paint. I will be touching this up as the last thing to be done. The metal work needs more depth and the eyes need a little more detail added to them. But I am so far happy with it. http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/hdhead1.jpg I decided last night that I wanted to get the body started before I finished the head so that I could just sit and focus on it without wondering how the body would fit into the rest of the paint scheme!

Smurfben Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 very nice indead! Funnily enough, the Akira mutations imagery came to mind the first time I saw your hellbrute flesh! So job done! :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/278640-tzens-word-bearers-wip-blog/page/3/#findComment-3589610 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excessus Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Great job on those wings Tzen! The Heldrake is a b**** to paint propery with those wings. The lord and helbrute also looks awesome! TETSUO!!! Excellent job on the Helldrake KANEDA!!!

Kronus Stormbringer Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 The dreadnought is awesome, really brings out the character of the model. I wasnt sure on your colour choice for the Hellbrute at first but now that you have more layers on its turning out really nice.

Tzen Posted February 16, 2014 Author Share Posted February 16, 2014 Cheers fellas! :D Managed to make something of a start on the Heldrake's body. Still early days and the spine needs more work, but the skin took me ages. All the areas with mixed flesh and piping was particularly time consuming, but at least now it is done! http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/hdbody.jpg This basically leaves me with the red and silver areas to do and the model should be finished. Whilst this part is annoying, it isn't as time consuming as the flesh parts!

Tzen Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 Another quick update on the Heldrake! http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/hdb2.jpg Hoping to have it finished tonight!

Koriel Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Now that's just awesome. The skin tone is really good and contrasts well with the red and silver. I'm particulary fond of the organic feel you have going and the bone on the tail is a nice touch. It's gonna look terrific when finished so keep up the good work.

Tzen Posted February 18, 2014 Author Share Posted February 18, 2014 Ta fellas! :D Nearly finished! I was hoping to get this done last night, but I underestimated how annoying all the raised metal areas would be to paint, so I have yet to add all the finishing touches to it. Hopefully one more night on it and the whole model should be complete! Wonder what I should do next – Probably more cultists – sigh. http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/hdb3.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/278640-tzens-word-bearers-wip-blog/page/3/#findComment-3597164 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tzen Posted March 1, 2014 Author Share Posted March 1, 2014 I managed to pick up some miniatures after I made a short journey back home the other day! I was determined to find some models that I know I will be using in actual games. I know Possessed are terrible according to the internet, but the truth is they are very relevant to Word Bearers and I reckon they can be made to work. http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/poss1.jpg Eventually there will be nine in total, but I need to purchase some more to finish the squad off. The squad leader is a limited edition possessed champion from an old box set. http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/poss2.jpg It is quite possibly the worst miniature every created. It's so bad I know I have to have it in my army! And with it being a rare limited edition model it makes it even better! What's great about this model, is that it comes with a plasma pistol... which Possessed can't even use!

Tzen Posted March 2, 2014 Author Share Posted March 2, 2014 Here is what I did so far: http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/possch.jpg I'm not a miracle worker, so I am trying to do the best I can with a truly awful miniature.

Tzen Posted March 3, 2014 Author Share Posted March 3, 2014 Well I finished the Possessed Champion. http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/possch3.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/possch4.jpg After some consideration, I may eventually convert something a little more fitting than this poor excuse for a miniature. I could feel all interest in the hobby draining from me with every brush struck!

Smurfben Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I'll agree that it is one of the worst models ever released (albiet limited edition) but it's not THE worst ever Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/278640-tzens-word-bearers-wip-blog/page/3/#findComment-3608160 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tzen Posted March 7, 2014 Author Share Posted March 7, 2014 Very Early work in progress picture of my next Possessed Marine. http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/poss21.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/poss3.jpg The only thing finished here is the purple claws, everything else needs touching up, especially the metal areas and such. And the skin will be a little paler. The concept I am trying to achieve is that these are still Chaos Marines. They share their bodies with daemons but they are still in control. So the purple is the Daemon coming through, and the skin has hints of purple in there, but essentially this is still a marine. He is still in charge (or so he thinks)!

Rune_Priest_Rhapsody Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 The claws look great Tzen!! The champ is great too!! If only the raised arm was on a different model, I really like the drama to it. Do you do all of your painting by hand, or with an airbrush?? Your colors are so smooth and crisp!!

Tzen Posted March 7, 2014 Author Share Posted March 7, 2014 Thanks man! :D I do them all by hand.

Tzen Posted May 12, 2014 Author Share Posted May 12, 2014 It's been quite a while since I have painted anything, and I'm feeling a little out of practice. Dissertation has come and gone, and I have found an hour or so at the end of every day of exam revision to get a bit of painting in to wind down and let all the information sink in. Out of all the possessed models I have, this was my "worst" model, I just don't like the legs, they make no sense, even for a daemon infused monster! http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/poss2.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/poss3.jpg Obviously not finished yet, but wanted to share my work in progress!

firestorm40k Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 These look great, though I can understand how you might feel that they don't match your own expectations/ability (speaking as a fellow painter that often feels that way). Trust me though, they are of envy-inducing quality ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/278640-tzens-word-bearers-wip-blog/page/3/#findComment-3686963 Share on other sites More sharing options...
