Urauloth Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 I've really never liked the possessed minis at all, but your work with them is changing my opinion - yours look terrific, and I'm really tempted to pick up a kit myself after seeing them. Really impressive highlighting workon that armour, too, the effect is gorgeous.

Squeaky Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Glad I stumbled on this thread some amazing work the Helldrake is probably my favourite of all your minitures, but they are all really nice. Like A Kvlt Ghost said I really dont like the possed figures but the way you have painted them I'm slightly more inclined to like them :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/278640-tzens-word-bearers-wip-blog/page/5/#findComment-3728961 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzen Posted June 26, 2014 Author Share Posted June 26, 2014 Thanks Squeaky, glad you like em, really appreciate it! :D Slowly working on this guy, hoping to have him done by tonight! http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/posse5.1.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/posse5.2.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/278640-tzens-word-bearers-wip-blog/page/5/#findComment-3729958 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkMark Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Love the rich red you've been painting, but think the flame part would look much better being a toxic green. Green would contrast better with the red and look more unnatural. Just a thought.

Tzen Posted July 7, 2014 Author Share Posted July 7, 2014 Over the weekend I have been working away at a number of things. Firstly the sixth possessed marine is coming along nicely. I try to put a decent amount of time into these sorts of minis because it’s pretty satisfying to see the end result, especially when they are all in a finished squad. http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/posse7.jpg However I also try to keep in mind they are just table top minis, they aren’t showcase (by any stretch of the imagination). However these models really do deserve some more attention at some point in the future, and I may spend a week or so at some point just working on one model. Additionally this weekend i cracked open the green stuff and got back into sculpting. It’s been an age since I did any sculpting and I want to get a bit more experience at it before attempting my landraider. First up was a converted banner arm for my possessed. http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/banner.jpg And secondly some rider legs for my biker champion (for when I eventually get round to doing some bikers). http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/legs.jpg Neither of these are finished, they need tidying up and more details added, but all in all it was a productive weekend!

Eldrick Shadowblade Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Love the colors. You definitely need some bikers. They are just too good in 6th/7th edition to not have a squad!

Tzen Posted July 8, 2014 Author Share Posted July 8, 2014 Cheers Eldrick! I did a test biker years ago and really enjoyed it, but they weren't as good as they are now back then! :D Anyhoo! Quick update, this guy is nearly finished. Need to glaze the hands a little more to get a darker flesh tone, and obviously need to touch things up here and there. Other than that I need to do the base then build four more and then squad complete! http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/posses7.1.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/278640-tzens-word-bearers-wip-blog/page/5/#findComment-3739743 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bungicats Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Very nice group shot. The colors blend well together and the poses are great too. I agree the LE champion is just a horrible pose.

Tzen Posted July 28, 2014 Author Share Posted July 28, 2014 It's been a while since I put brush to model due to focusing on gaming. I hadn't played a great deal during sixth edition, and have found myself a great new club (Wardens of the North for those interested!) to really get into seventh. Something that became glaringly obvious in my last three games was that the Chaos Codex is :cuss, and my army was composed largely of the :cusstest things in it. So in order to give myself a new edge in games I have decided to paint up some stuff that will make me slightly more competitive. Behold, Word Bearer Plague Marines - The Infected! http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/wbplag.jpg Just started the squad. These guys are some classic Plague Marines from way back in second edition (and older). I have some Forge World Plague Marines on the way too! I wonder if I'm the first person to paint Plague Marines red?!

tyrannosaurus Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Love the old school Plague Marines [and the possessed] and your painting is outstanding as always - I agree that the CSM dex is pretty limiting if you want to be competitive, looks like Nurgle all the way [biker Lord in with Nurgle Spawn can be pretty nasty]. Having said that it seems like one guy did pretty well at the BAO tournament with a fluffy 1KSons list, came 15th overall so it can be done. Edit - could you post a tutorial of how you did the fire on that possessed? I'm just about to start some on my Sisters and I would love it if it came out like yours.

Once I have "finished" my Word Bearers I am doing 1K sons. I should have done them first if I'm toallt honest, but hey ho! And I will try to get a tutorial up if I can! Busy as hell these days, and it's hard to write one without having a model to take pics on!

Tzen Posted August 3, 2014 Author Share Posted August 3, 2014 First Plague Marine finished. http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/pm1.jpg Apologies for the low quality picture but the light here at the moment is not great at all. I used some more of the nurgle rot special effects paint on this guy to get a feel for how I want to do them in future. I also don't like the green gloves so future minis will have black ones or red. Little too much green on the mini and sadly the rot effect doesn't show up very well due to the quality of the picture.

Just three more to do of these chaps and then I can either finished the remaining possessed marines I have, or the Forge World Plague marines!
