KrautScientist Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 The gunship is looking excellent, mate! It's truly impressive how you manage to apply your very crisp, meticulous style of painting to ahuge vehicle like that! Regarding the decals, the Betrayal at Calth Word Bearer decals combine the burning book and daemon skull, creating a design echoing both the 30k and 40k legion badge. Maybe that would be the perfect solution here as well? Making them faded sounds like a cool idea in any case, though. And what about adding some of those Colchisian runes and cuneiform designs? I think they should work really well on the big flat surfaces of the gunship.

Tzen Posted July 14, 2016 Author Share Posted July 14, 2016 Cheers Kraut and yeah I think you may be right on all counts. I am off to my old gaming club tonight to say hi and maybe get a game in so I don't have time to finish it all off tonight. But if I get some time over the weekend I will be sorting out the decals and the script and runes! Once this is done I have to do a knight for my 40k Word Bearers. I didn't want to have to go down that route but the khorne lord of skulls, amazing though it is, is way too pricey points wise to compete. For 30k I have all of my infantry to build and paint up. I also want to start a Thousand Sons army for 40k...

Tzen Posted July 16, 2016 Author Share Posted July 16, 2016 Just ordered some Forge World transfers for the Fire Raptor (and a bigger base) so it is now on hold until they turn up. It's pretty much finished though, so now I have the decision of what to work on next. I need to do some more undead stuff for my AoS army, but in regards to my Word Bearers I need to decide on either: - A knight titan - Khorne lord of Skulls (used with knight titan rules) - Some 30k marines. As an aside here are some pics of Lorgar and the Gal Vorbak together. Plus some other random white background shots. http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/lorgarwb.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/deciwb.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/lorgargv1.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/lefwwb.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/278640-tzens-word-bearers-wip-blog/page/34/#findComment-4443641 Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrautScientist Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Looking fantastic, as always! As for what to paint next: Definitely the Knight Titan -- there, that was easy ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/278640-tzens-word-bearers-wip-blog/page/34/#findComment-4443839 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mad Hermit Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 I feel finally compelled to comment. This thread is breathtaking, even the stuff you're not really happy with. If I wasn't such a die-hard Imperial player, your work might even be enough to tempt me into trying my hand at a Chaos force. Please keep showing off your work as it is both humbling yet inspirational.

Tzen Posted July 16, 2016 Author Share Posted July 16, 2016 Thanks chaps, and yeah, a few mates have said a Knight Titan should be next, so I may have to go down that route! And Hermit, I am really glad you like my stuff. And you should deffo give chaos a try! Once you go chaos you never go back! :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/278640-tzens-word-bearers-wip-blog/page/34/#findComment-4443969 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RazakelXIII Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 I missed some good stuff. I really like how you Chaosified the Fire Raptor, great use of spikes. Lorgar looks absolutely gorgeous. And (a very belated) congrats on the feature in Warhammer Visions!

DaBoiKyknos Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Cool pics, though I kind of wonder why no one really wants to put the kajal on their Lorgar`s face. Is it so difficult?

Tzen Posted July 18, 2016 Author Share Posted July 18, 2016 I don't think the pictures are on this blog, but I did try and put tattoos, scripts all sorts all over him. Someone suggested actually painting his skin gold. After trying a number of things I just decided to go with what I thought was best for me. I don't think it's a case of difficulty, just what you want to get from your own mini :) @Razakel - I am glad you like. I share yours feelings on chaos vehicles. The spikes and skulls and such can get a little OTT!

Tzen Posted July 25, 2016 Author Share Posted July 25, 2016 Still need to tidy up the transfers, but here is the final product on the Fire Raptor! http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/raptor2.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/278640-tzens-word-bearers-wip-blog/page/34/#findComment-4450449 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJD Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I think this is the first time I've really looked at your old scheme and new scheme side by side. The new scheme is so much more sinister.

Svartmetall Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Really liking these; along with the Iron Warriors the Word Bearers are, to me, the most interesting and modeller-friendly Undivided legion. I'm new here but I think I'll definitely be keeping an eye on how these guys develop :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/278640-tzens-word-bearers-wip-blog/page/34/#findComment-4462558 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Commander Eidolon Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 The jump pack looks a bit ropey in bits. But that's the point of a test model! if that's ropey mate, hang me by it! OSL the exhaust and then put some soot/burn around it and then you won't even notice anything! I'm struggling to find an issue with it to be honest!!
