Dark_Apostle_XVII Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Hiya, my Knight finally came today and so begins the long journey of turning him to chaos. First up, his head. Here is what I'm thinking for it - kind of a crude attempt at replicating the Word Bearers Legions heraldry if the snarling Daemonic face. Just one question though, should I keep the pipes at the side or remove them? Not sure if it looks quite right with them. https://m.flickr.com/#/photos/122948524@N05/14570340412/ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/293327-word-bearers-chaos-knight/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kol Saresk Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Part of me wamts to say remove the pipes, another part is wondering if you could show what it would like with the rest of the model. Individually, it looks superflous, but as part of the whole it might blend in and help with the overall feel of the model.

Dark_Apostle_XVII Posted July 4, 2014 Author Share Posted July 4, 2014 Thanks for the reply. That's what I was stuck on, I don't think it really needs it, and it would better represent word bearers without it. Just arrived this morning so have not actually built the rest of it yet, as I want to take it slow. I'll leave them stuck for now and see how it is when the body is built. It will be easy to just cut them off once it's done.

Kol Saresk Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 True enough. Like I said, right there, it'd look better without the pipes, but with the rest of the body, it might be the only thing showing that the head connects to the body. Then again, a knight with a floating head would be all kinds of awesome.

Dark_Apostle_XVII Posted July 4, 2014 Author Share Posted July 4, 2014 Here you go, a quick mock up of the torso with ought the pipes. I much prefer it like this!

Kol Saresk Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Yeah, definitely looks better without the exhaust. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/293327-word-bearers-chaos-knight/#findComment-3736772 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strazhakov Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Love the face/head. Really fitting. Have you thought about chaos runes/text freehand on the big spaces? Also (im)purity seals. Kind of like a walking altar to the Dark Gods. Greenstuffing some Mutations/Daemonflesh here and there could work as well.

Dark_Apostle_XVII Posted July 17, 2014 Author Share Posted July 17, 2014 Thanks mate :D Probably too late for green stuffing, although that's a great idea - my skills with green stuff are not good enough to reliably cover the paint job as if it goes badly and I have to scrape it off it will ruin it. As for the idea about text. I intend to cover it in freehand sigils, runes and all sorts. Just need to finish highlighting the armour and that's the last step. Here is a quick example of what I have so far: https://m.flickr.com/#/photos/122948524@N05/14698251663/ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/293327-word-bearers-chaos-knight/#findComment-3747856 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark_Apostle_XVII Posted July 17, 2014 Author Share Posted July 17, 2014 My Word Bearers are the 13th Host, but now that you mention the Ultramarines that may have to change... I can't stand them.
